Hemingway writer of portrait of oneself

Two romance of Hemingway The sun also rises and Farewell to arms are two national portrait to two country, Spain and Italy, but twice characterized by journalistic style; The sun also rises is a portrait of Spain and he described this country with all characteristic, but with a journalistic style, in fact we red this romance and is very difficult find a history, but we red alone episode very insignificant but it is credible Hemingway wanted show Spain alone, and habit, he took Spain culture and costume and he has showed alone this country, in fact he describe some town of Spanish cities that he visited, because we must consider that Hemingway was a journalist, therefore he seen these cities, and he shows his love to bullfight and he describes cities and towns and all is kept among description of actions and words with very little follow to history; Hemingway tells around daily actions and he portraits Spain and Spanish. To Farewell to arms is a tale during first word war, it follows same style and Hemingway tells around some character with wealth of particulars, also useless but necessary to history and tale, that is very adherent to reality because to Italy Hemingway has had a medal of valour at 1918 in Italy, therefore he, that begun his writer work at journal Kansas City Star, he translated this style in his literacies romance, and this romance is particular autobiographical because he tells his stay in hospital, time he passed in hospital because he was hurt, therefore he described this time and his hurt to knee, and he describes Italian towns where is happened first word war, and some episode that he was protagonist; then it is a personal diary of first word war, has had Hemingway capacity of storyteller; or better his story.

Angelo Guerra: a painter for cloisters

I understand that this title is very strange to assay of art history, but i have considered this necessary to portrait a painter that has worked very much to cloisters, at last three, he is a painter between 16^th and 17^th century, and he worked above all on the south Latium, in the towns called Sermoneta, Cori and Carpineto Romano, whose at last two to Franciscan order, as in Sermoneta and Carpineto, but in Cori church and cloister was Agostinian, in the church of Sant’Oliva. To cloister of Carpineto argument of this assay an attribution to lunettes now lacks but, we can to style to identify Angelo Guerra; the style is very poor, but we must search author and not certainly ask compliment and praises; anyway Guerra painted this cloister after 1602, after lunettes of Sermoneta, but before that he painted other in same town; this decoration is now uncertain but in return we can recognize Guerra; it is sufficient  consider cloths of some figures(Figg.1-3), that have some characteristic very personal used just to other paintings, as on lunettes of Franciscan convent in Sermoneta; the architecture follows style of Guerra, above all to tried uncertainness of style just present in Sermoneta(Figs.4-7), then same definition: the line describes much summary the architecture structure but, in return, the roofs(Figs.4-5) as rose window(Figs.5-6) and the gable(Fig.5) that, to painting of Carpineto Guerra has remembered from Sermoneta(Fig.4). The cloths stand out to plastic matter, although this isn’t to luxury tailor, but we must consider that Guerra to some lunettes, cured cloths with attention with brushstroke less speed than other and much definite(Fig.8): the fields are thickened but less summary; but some moment of refinement shows that Guerra has adopted this style; light and shade are better coordinated and painted, although style is very poor .

Two painters in same church

One Roman painter of this essay is Antonio di Benedetto degli Aquili called Antoniazzo Romano (1430-1435 circa – Rome 1508); Antoniazzo is very evident on the apse(Fig.1) of church of Saint Mary of People in Carpineto Romano, a small country next Rome, this church was restored by pope Sixtus IV, that certainly wanted decoration of apse and he called major painter in Rome then, this is Antoniazzo. Style of roman painter is evident to cloth, very master, and this characteristic reports to much cloth(Fig.2) of Antoniazzo, for exemple tryptic in Fondi(Fig.3), that is equivalent to cloth of Apostles on the apse of Carpineto, the face are very similar, it is sufficient consider some(Figs.4-5), and other painting of Antoniazzo, or feet(Figs.6-7) of a saint on painting that is some of feet of Apostle on apse of Carpineto(Fig.8), therefore Antoniazzo has worked this apse may to commission of Conti family that has ruled Carpineto during xv century. Other painter I have caught second painter that I called at other book with name Master of Madonna of Rosary, a nameless painter that has worked very much to this subject in Sermoneta, Cori and Sezze; he has painted a Virgin of Rosary(Fig.9) this painting is worked after 1581 when during a pastoral visit bishop ordered that they must paint an image of Madonna of Rosary, therefore this painting is datable after this year, may about first then years of 17^th century; anyway to style is very similar because face of pope Pius 5^th (Fig.10) on right is very similar to other face to other altarpiece in Cori, the cloth of two saints on first plane are very similar to cloth of saint in Sermoneta(Fig.11), and the face of Virgin is specular to face of Virgin in Sermoneta(Fig.12); therefore this painter has worked with this subject very much.

Context and religion

During read of letters of Blaise Pascal(1623-1662), French philosopher, mathematical and theological, his letters called Provincials, where he considered and he registered also and above all dialogues about theologian and faith, when he said with Jesuitical monk; in seventh letter this monk John from Alba, Italian Jesuitical that justifies murder and duel; principal motive is a theological dispute about think of Louis de Molina, Hispanic Jesuitical, that written a book around freedom of man to get Good’s grace and with this freedom decide if refuse or accept, this book with Latin title Concordia liberi arbitrii cum gratiae donis, was opposed by Cornelius Otto Jansen, whose think was considered heretical, although alone for some affirmation. But during this dialogue between Pascal and John from Alba have showed some principal  unthinkable today to Church, because it is alone homicide, but this Jesuitical thinks that it is justified because is legitimate to defender our goods and our honour also with homicide; we must consider this think contextual to time and habit, everybody during 17th century, if offense would have this reaction, this way is descripted very masterly by Alexander Dumas in Three musketeers, with D’Artagnan must responds three duels with three musketeers, alone because he has collided three musketeers; then duels was journey during ancient time; this behaviour expressed by a Jesuitical is very strange, but we must consider that this Jesuitical monk tells and consider these fights and sins during 17th century, therefore he related these opinions to time and moral condition of France during his century, then he described that he sees, and he considers that he lives during his century, and deny these habits and search alone peace was impossible; this is alone a relation between human nature and theological science; but we must remarked that this Jesuitical monk is very modern, because he relate to social context, and he understand that the sin can have right and legitimacy because is habit. To proof this concept is some mentions of this monk, that said that: “…a man with armies  can pursue whom has hurt him; if he thinks to keep his honour and not give wrong…”, it is evident that this way expressed is alone a false question to justify duel and homicide that during 17th century was legitimacy and dutiful.

Antonello from Messina: two ways and one painter

Antonio di Giovanni di Antonio, called Antonello da Messina(1430-1479), Sicilian painter at 15^th century is a perfect meet between two different ways to paint: one is Flemish, and it is evident in painting, because he takes punctual definition of particular, he is very precise to all, so following Flemish paint, but he has took this strong influence through his master Colantonio(Fig.1), and he has followed this way until he has met Venetian paint, and he has took influence from colours, very intense, light and physical presence, as portraits(Figs.2-3), light is Venetian and it is evident because Giovanni Bellini(Figs.4-5) adopted this tools to paint, and Antonello mixed perfectly light and colour of Venice, where he stood for two years; therefore he used two traditions and he mixed these with mastery, he follows both reality of Flemish and Italian plastic, and he used to every painting he worked; to san Sebastian, very famous painting , he took reality in fact he painted city and persons with attention and precision but he took light and Italian plastic, this is physical presence on the painting; therefore Antonello takes two ways and two country but twice mixed in one brush.

 Subsumption

Socrates turned around a pub in a great city, and he asked a tea and he has had bought a newspaper, he red it when a girl approached to him and asked: “Are you from love?”, Socrates that was very neglected, with a cloth very dirty, long bard as hair, and naked feet, with a rope to belt and very disordered, in fact barmaid was worried because he taught that he not will buy this tea; anyway Socrates red newspaper, and close it, he drunk his tea, and answered to girl: “Are you racist?”, and girl: “No, absolutely!”, and Socrates: “Why?”, and girl: “Because it is immoral, and because I haven’t motive”, Socrates heard this motive and: “I think that you are racist, but you don’t say it”, and girl asked: “Why, do you think it?”, and Socrates: “Because you are a very black girl and you have alone a will, this is gain!”, and girl very worried: “What? Do you think that…”, Socrates interrupted this words: “You want gain not materially but with soul”, and girl very angry, had an expression become curious: “This is?” and Socrates asked other two tea, but without ask to girl if she wanted a tea, and Socrates asked: “Do you know subsumption?”, and girl: “No, absolutely”, and Socrates: “This is a philosophical concept, you must sit under other concept very great a think or characteristic very little”, and Diana this is name of girl: “Very interesting, but I have an appointment therefore, I must leave you now”, and Socrates greeted Diana, but she got out pub and very soon she entered again and set on same town, next Socrates, and asked: “What is subsumption? And what is means, and what is his origin, and very important question, because do you break my balls with philosophy?”, and Socrates: “What is mean I have explained, this word is from Latin subsumptio and this is means that I take by under, I set a concept…”, and Diana: “Yes I know it because you have said it, but what is practical aim”, and Socrates: “Conformism is a subsumption of gain!”, Diana become very curious: “Why?”, and Socrates: “If you have a store, do you prevent that white or Spanish entered to your store?”, and Diana: “No, certainly!”, and Socrates: “Why?”, and Diana: “Because I am not racist”, and Socrates: “No, alone because you want gain; and if you prevent to white, Spanish and other race different your, you will fail very soon, because much costumers don’t attended your store; therefore conformism is alone subsumption of gain; politeness is gain, because very good cut figure is gain; but we must consider that also good politeness is gain, although gain is very hide because is historical, therefore through centuries”, and Diana: “What is?” and Socrates: “In conformity with good politeness, guest must set before owner of home, why?”, and Diana: “I don’t know”, and Socrates: “Because guest during ancient time could be with armies, and he could beat owner of home and his family; therefore guest must be set before; this is a gain because owner hasn’t dangers; then good politeness is a gain, not be racist is gain, the racism is gain because they have gain with notorious position, gain to soul, fame and importance”, and Diana: “Were Ancient Roman racist?” and Socrates: “No, because they considered alone courage and virtue; in fact much Roman imperators aren’t Roman, because with virtue gain was to Rome and empire, therefore all will gain”, then Diana: “I understood that I not will start a store and not will study Roman historical, and I not will study philosophy, but one moment because I go to bathroom”, when Diana gone out from bathroom she didn’t Socrates, and she asked to barmaid: “Where is guy that was here?”, barmaid asked: “What guy?”, and Diana: “Socrates”, and barmaid: “You come here very late, Socrates is dead at 399 b.Ch., in Athens”, and therefore she gone out from pub, and she searched around but she didn’t find nobody.
