Titian, The Masterpieces of the Italian Painter
Tiziano Vecelli, known in English as Titian (1488 - 1576), was an Italian painter of the Renaissance. He is considered one of the greatest painters of the Venetian Renaissance and a pivotal figure in the history of Western art.
Titian's work spanned various genres, including religious, mythological, and portrait painting. He was known for his mastery of color, composition, and brushwork, which gave his paintings a sense of vitality and drama. His use of bold, rich colors and his skillful handling of light and shadow contributed to the development of the Venetian school of painting.
Some of Titian's most famous works include "The Assumption of the Virgin," "Bacchus and Ariadne," "Venus of Urbino," and "The Rape of Europa." His ability to capture the human form with sensitivity and realism, as well as his innovative use of color and light, had a profound influence on later generations of artists, including Peter Paul Rubens, Diego Velázquez, and Rembrandt.
Titian's long and prolific career made him produce numerous masterpieces, and his work continues to be celebrated for its beauty, emotion, and technical brilliance. He was a highly sought-after artist during his lifetime and received commissions from some of the most powerful and influential figures of his time, including the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor.

Antonio Canova - The masterpieces of the Italian sculptor
Antonio Canova was an Italian Neoclassical sculptor born in 1757, in Possagno, Republic of Venice (now in Italy), and died in 1822, in Venice. He is renowned for his marble sculptures, which often depicted mythological themes and classical figures. Canova's work is characterized by its harmony, elegance, and refined craftsmanship, reflecting the ideals of Neoclassicism.
Some of Canova's most famous sculptures include "Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss," and "The Three Graces,".
His mastery of sculpting marble was highly regarded during his lifetime, and he received commissions from prominent figures across Europe, including Napoleon Bonaparte and Pope Pius VII.
Canova's sculptures are celebrated for their idealized beauty, graceful poses, and meticulous attention to detail. His ability to convey emotion and narrative through the medium of stone is a testament to his skill as a sculptor. Canova's work continues to inspire artists and admirers of classical art to this day.

Rabindranath Tagore - Jana Gana Mana - The Morning Song of India
"Jana Gana Mana" was a song or a poem first written in a Sanskritised form of Bengali by Rabindranath Tagore, the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.
It was sung in Bengali and Hindi language for the first time in 1911.
In 1919 Rabindranath Tagore translated it into English as "The Morning Song of India". In 1950 the Republic of India adopted it as The National Anthem of India.

--
Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people,
Dispenser of India's destiny.
Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sind,
Gujarat and Maratha,
Of the Dravida and Orissa and Bengal;
It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
mingles in the music of Jamuna and Ganges and is
chanted by the waves of the Indian Sea.
They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise.
The saving of all people waits in thy hand,
Thou dispenser of India's destiny.
Victory, victory, victory to thee.

Rabindranath Tagore - False Religion, Indian Poem read by Milad Sidky
Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was one of India’s greatest poets and freedom fighters. Tagore received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913.
Through Tagore's works , the mysticism and sentimental beauty of Indian culture was revealed to the West for the first time.
Tagore promoted the spiritual values and the creation of a new world culture founded in multi-culturalism, diversity and tolerance.

False Religion
Those who in the name of faith embrace illusion,
kill and are killed
Even the atheist gets God’s blessings-
Does not boast of his religion;
With reverence he lights the lamp of reason
And pays his homage not to scriptures,
But to the good in man.
The bigot insults his own religion
When he slays a man of another faith
Conduct he judges not in the light of reason;
In the temple he raises the blood-stained banner
And worships the devil in the name of God.
All that is shameful and barbarous through the ages,
Has found a shelter in their temples-
Those they turn into prison;
O, I hear the trumpet call of destruction!
Time comes with her great broom
Sweeping all refuse away.
That which should make man free,
They turn into fetters;
That which should unite,
They turn into sword;
That which should bring love from the fountain of the Eternal,
They turn into prison
And with its waves they flood the world
They try to cross the river
In a bark riddled with holes,
And yet, in their anguish, whom do they blame?
O Lord, breaking false religion,
Save the blind!
Break! O break
The altar that is drowned in blood.
Let your thunder strike
into the prison of false religion,
And bring to this unhappy land
The light of knowledge

Rumi - Pain is a treasure, Great Poems
Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273) is a Persian poet known simply as Rumi. He is one of the most popular poets in the world. Rumi was also a mystic, belonging to the Sufi tradition in Islam. He wrote in Persian, Turkish, Arabic, and even (at times) Greek. So even in his own day, there was something universal and even cosmopolitan about Rumi’s wisdom and ideas.
"PAIN IS A TREASURE!"
Pain is a treasure, for it contains mercies;
The kernel is soft when the rind is scraped off.
O brother, the place of darkness and cold
Is the fountain of Life and the cup of ecstasy.
So also is endurance of pain and sickness and disease.
For from abasement proceeds exaltation.
The spring seasons are hidden in the autumns,
And the autumns are charged with springs.

Rumi - The Guest House, Great Poems read by Karen Golden
"The Guest House" is one of the most well-known poems by the 13th-century Sufi mystic Jalaluddin Rumi. Rumi is using the metaphor of a guest house to form an image that each day is an opportunity to experience something new in our lives, even if it’s unpleasant and unexpected.
--
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture.
Still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Great Pyramid of Giza - The Icon of Ancient Egyptian Architecture
The Great Pyramid of Giza is a huge pyramid built by the Ancient Egyptians. It stands 18.4 km from Cairo. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain mostly intact. When it was built, it was 146.5 metres tall. It was the tallest building in the world for over 3,800 years. Erosion and other causes have shrunk it to 138.8 m. The pyramid was probably built for Khufu, an Egyptian pharaoh. It was perhaps built by Khufu's vizier, Hemiunu. It is believed that it took about 20 years to build, and was completed around 2570 BC. When it was built, Great Pyramid was covered by white stones that formed a smooth outer surface. Some of these stones can still be seen around the base. Most of what can be seen of the pyramid now is its basic core of 2,300,000 blocks of limestone and granite. There have been many different theories to explain how the pyramid was built. Most accepted building ideas are based on the idea of moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.
Archaeologists found that the Pyramids of Giza were not built by slaves, but workers who were paid for working. Their graves were found near the pyramid in 1990. The Great Pyramid is part of a group of buildings, called the Giza Necropolis. This includes two mortuary temples in honour of Khufu.

Goddess Isis in Ancient Egyptian and Greco-Roman Art
Goddess Isis was not only one of the most important deities of ancient Egypt, but also Her cult spread throughout the Roman Empire.
She was a principal deity in rites connected with the dead.
She was a magical healer who cured the sick and brought the deceased to life.
As mother, She was a role model for all women.
Isis is still revered by peace-loving minds today.
I hope this collection of ancient Egyptian, Greco-Roman, and modern artworks will be a source of your inspiration and solace.

Artemisia Gentileschi - The Masterpieces of the Italian Painters
Artemisia Gentileschi was an Italian painter(1593 - 1652). She is the most celebrated female painter of the 17th century. Many of Gentileschi's paintings feature women from myths, allegories, and the Bible. Her famous works include, "Susanna and the Elders", and "Judith Slaying Holofernes".
The brutal biblical paintings created by Artemisia Gentileschi reflect the horrors of her own life – repression, injustice, and rape.

Rumi - A Moment of Happiness - Sufi Poems read by Karen Golden
"A moment of happiness", or "You and I" is one of the greatest poems written by Persian poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273).
One of the values of a poem is love value.
"Apparently two, but one in soul, you and I."
This line shows how the writer feels as one with his Beloved. Rumi feels that he and his Beloved may be different in many things, for instance, characters, habit, but they are same in one thing. They have the same love.
--
A moment of happiness,
You and I sitting on the verandah,
apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.
We feel the flowing water of life here,
you and I, with the garden’s beauty
and the birds singing.
The stars will be watching us,
and we will show them
what it is to be a thin crescent moon.
You and I unselfed, will be together,
indifferent to idle speculation, you and I.
The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar
as we laugh together, you and I.
In one form upon this earth,
and in another form in a timeless sweet land.

Rumi - when i die - Great Sufi Poems read by Milad Sidky
"When I Die" is one of the greatest poems written by the Persian Poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273).
This poem is about eternal life after death, featuring Rumi’s inspirational views on the afterlife that begins after physical death.
--
When I die
when my coffin
is being taken out
you must never think
I am missing this world
Don't shed any tears
Don't lament or
feel sorry
I'm not falling
into a monster's abyss
When you see
my corpse is being carried
don't cry for my leaving
I'm not leaving
I'm arriving at eternal love
When you leave me
in the grave
don't say goodbye
Remember a grave is
only a curtain
for the paradise behind
You'll only see me
descending into a grave
Now watch me rise
How can there be an end
when the sun sets or
the moon goes down
It looks like the end
It seems like a sunset
but in reality it is a dawn
When the grave locks you up
that is when your soul is freed
Have you ever seen
a seed fallen to earth
not rise with a new life?
Why should you doubt the rise
of a seed named human?
Have you ever seen
a bucket lowered into a well
coming back empty?
Why lament for a soul
when it can come back
like Joseph from the well?
When for the last time
you close your mouth
your words and soul
will belong to the world of
no place no time

Robert Frost - Fire and Ice - Great Poems
"Fire and Ice" is one of the great poems written by Robert Frost. This short poem expresses Robert Frost's profound idea that the world would end in either of two ways, either by ice or fire. Both the components are compared with self-destructing human emotions: hatred and desire. The poem, very artistically, underpins the philosophy that we let our emotions rule us and if don’t control them they will surely destroy everything around us.
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Robert Frost - Mending Wall - Great Poems
"Mending Wall" is a thought-provoking poem written by Robert Frost.
The poem revolves around two neighbours who meet to mend the stone wall separating their farms.
The poem emphasizes that having clear boundaries between ourselves and others leads to healthy relationships between neighbours because they won’t fall out over petty territorial disputes or ‘invading each other’s space’.

Robert Frost - Nothing Gold Can Stay - Great Poems
‘Nothing Gold Can Stay’ is one of the great poems written by Robert Frost. This short poem is about the impermanence of life. It describes the fleeting nature of beauty by discussing time’s effect on nature.
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Robert Frost - The Road Not Taken - Great Poems
"The Road Not Taken" is a narrative poem written by Robert Frost. This poem is thought to be one of the most misinterpreted poems in American literature. “The Road Not Taken” argues for the importance of our choices, both big and small, since they shape our journey through life.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Masterpieces of Ancient Egyptian Art - Great Painters and Sculptors
Ancient Egyptian art is renowned for its distinctive style, symbolism, and longevity. Here are some key features and aspects of Egyptian art:
- Symbolism and Representation:
Egyptian art was highly symbolic and often depicted gods, pharaohs, and important events. It aimed to convey eternal truths rather than realistic portrayal. representation.
- Hierarchical Scale:
Important figures, such as pharaohs or gods, were often depicted larger than others to denote their significance and power. This hierarchical scale was a common feature in Egyptian art.
- Material and Techniques:
Egyptians used various materials for their art, including stone, wood, metals, and pottery. They were skilled in carving reliefs and sculptures, as well as painting on walls, papyrus scrolls, and other surfaces. The use of vibrant colors, especially in wall paintings, was characteristic of Egyptian art.
- Subjects and Themes:
Egyptian art predominantly focused on religious and funerary themes. Scenes from daily life, such as farming, hunting, and domestic activities, were also common. Mythological narratives, particularly those involving the journey of the soul after death, were frequently depicted in tombs and temples.
- Funerary Art and Tombs:
Much of the surviving Egyptian art comes from tombs and burial sites. These artworks served both practical and religious purposes, providing provisions and protection for the deceased in the afterlife, as well as conveying religious beliefs about death and the afterlife.
- Tomb Paintings:
Wall paintings in tombs, such as those in the Valley of the Kings and the tombs of nobles, are famous for their elaborate scenes depicting the journey of the deceased through the afterlife, including encounters with gods, judgment scenes, and offerings to sustain the soul.
- Statuary:
Egyptian statues were often static and idealized representations of the subject, emphasizing permanence and divine attributes. The famous Great Sphinx and colossal statues of pharaohs, such as the statues of Ramses II at Abu Simbel, are prime examples of Egyptian statuary.
- Continuity and Tradition: Egyptian art maintained a remarkable continuity of style and themes over thousands of years, with changes occurring gradually and within a traditional framework. This stability was closely tied to the religious and cultural beliefs of ancient Egyptian society.
Overall, ancient Egyptian art is not only visually striking but also offers valuable insights into the religious beliefs, social structures, and cultural values of one of the world's oldest civilizations.

Amulets of Animals, Birds and Hieroglyphic Symbols, Ancient Egyptian Art
The Ancient Egyptians believed that amulets have divine or magical powers such as:
- the ability to protect against a specific type of danger,
- the ability to cure disease,
- or the ability to give preternatural strength to the wearer.
Amulets were made in the shape of gods, animals, plants, and Hieroglyphic symbols. They were made of gold, bronze, crystals, glass, stones, and other materials.
Amulets were often inscribed with a spell, magic incantation or symbol that protects the wearer against evil or provides aid and magical benefits.
A large variety of amulets were placed on the mummy body and scattered among the wrappings to ensure the safety of the body and any easy passage into the Afterlife. Several of the spells in the Book of the Dead were intended to be spoken over specific amulets, which were then placed in particular places on the body of the deceased.
Amulets were not only a representation and an incarnation of ancient Egyptian religion, but an apparent witness to the great Egyptian art as well.

Amulets of Gods and Goddesses, Ancient Egyptian Art
An amulet is anything worn or carried by a person for protection or good luck.
There were several Ancient Egyptian words for amulets, most notably 'Sa' and 'Wedjau', which were associated with protection, well-being, and prosperity.
In ancient Egypt, amulets were often small figures of the gods featuring the most well-liked deities. Often, they were inlaid in other types of jewelry
or hung on a thread around the neck. Favorites included Amun, Isis, Hathor, Bes, Min, Taweret, and other Gods and Goddesses.
Newborns were adorned with amulets to keep them safe and healthy, and parents placed amulets around their children's necks to ward off evil spirits
and protect them from scorpions, snakes, and crocodiles.
Amulets were thought to possess a variety of abilities. Some amulets have divine power and served only as protection. For example, Bastet, the cat Goddess, would defend you if you wore a little cat charm around your neck. An amulet of the lion-headed Goddess Sekhmet would make you bold, a bull amulet of the God Apis would give you strength, and an amulet of Thoth would aid you in gaining wisdom.

Tutankhamun's treasures and artworks, Ancient Egyptian Art
Tutankhamun's treasures are among the most iconic artifacts of Ancient Egypt. When Howard Carter discovered his tomb in 1922, it was virtually intact, providing an unparalleled glimpse into the wealth and artistry of the New Kingdom period.
Perhaps the most famous of all the treasures is Tutankhamun's gold funerary mask. It is an exquisite piece of craftsmanship, made of solid gold inlaid with lapis lazuli, turquoise, and other precious stones. It covers the pharaoh's mummy and is adorned with symbolic imagery.
The pharaoh's golden throne, adorned with scenes of his wife, Ankhesenamun, was another significant find. It symbolizes his royal status and depicts him and his queen in various ceremonies.
Inside Tutankhamun's tomb, Carter discovered a canopic shrine containing four alabaster canopic jars, each holding the preserved internal organs of the young king. The shrine is intricately decorated with scenes from Egyptian mythology.
Tutankhamun was buried in a series of coffins, each nestled inside the other.
The innermost coffin is made of solid gold and depicts the pharaoh as Osiris, the god of the afterlife.
Among the treasures were several statues of the pharaoh, including a life-sized statue found near the entrance of the tomb. These statues served both a religious and a symbolic purpose, ensuring the king's immortality in the afterlife.
Ancient Egyptian art, including that found in Tutankhamun's tomb, is characterized by its religious symbolism, attention to detail, and emphasis on preserving the pharaoh's legacy in the afterlife. Hieroglyphs, symbolic motifs, and depictions of gods and goddesses are common themes in Egyptian art, reflecting the culture's deep spiritual beliefs and reverence for the divine.

"Sympathy" is a poem written by the African American poet and novelist Paul Laurence Dunbar
"Sympathy" symbolically describes the terrible experience of being a bird stuck in a cage. The bird in this poem flaps its wings and sings, but this is not because it's happy. It flaps its wings and sings because it's miserable!

Paul Laurence Dunbar - We Wear the Mask - Great Poems
We Wear the Mask is a poem written by the African American poet and novelist Paul Laurence Dunbar in 1895. It was a reaction to the experience of being black in America in the late 19th century, following the Civil War, a period when life seemed to have improved for black Americans, yet in reality, was still marked by intense racism and hardship.
Dunbar compares surviving the pain of oppression to wearing a mask that hides the suffering of its wearer, while presenting a more joyful face to the world.
The poem does not specifically mention race; its message is applicable to any circumstance in which marginalized people are forced to present a brave face in order to survive in an unsympathetic, prejudiced society.
