Abstract
This paper examines "Portrait of a Man as the God Mars" by Peter Paul Rubens and "Aristotle Contemplating a Bust of Homer" by Rijn van Rembrandt. The paper studies techniques and ideas, including the focus on material objects, colors used and the setting in the past or the present moment in order to make the case that Rubens was concerned with things of material, worldly value as opposed to Rembrandt.
From the Paper
"The two Baroque painters, Peter Paul Rubens and Rijn van Rembrandt launched themselves into the art world, now seen as Old Masters, at the tail end of the Renaissance. Despite their common subjects, their common influences and their same time period, these two painters were very, very different, in their style and in their purpose. "Aristotle Contemplating the Bust of Homer" by Rembrandt and Ruben's "Portrait of a Man as the God Mars" are two fine examples of works that display the differences between the two painters. This paper will study three aspects where two paintings are different and then look at what kind of meaning these differences can create, these differences being the focus on material objects that each painting has, the colors that each artist used and the setting of each painting, in regard to the past and the present (at the time in which each was painted)."

Abstract
The paper offers a critical art comparison of Rubens' "Portrait of a Man as the God Mars" and Rembrandt's famed "Aristotle Contemplating a Bust of Homer" and pinpoints three differences found in the paintings in order to make a broader statement. The paper examines how the artists' use of light, the detail of the subjects' features and the distance of the subject are all used to show that in their own way, each artist was questioning ideas of the supernatural.
From the Paper
"Although Peter Paul Rubens and Rembrandt were both artists in the Baroque period, both heavily influenced by the Renaissance, and both keen on using realistic subjects to portray scenes or tales or characters of yesteryear, their means to this end and the end, itself, are quite different, indeed. Looking at one painting by each, "Portrait of a Man as the God Mars" by Rubens and Rembrandt's "Aristotle Contemplating the Bust of Homer," the viewer or critic is able to see that the differences in the two paintings create a distinct meaning for each. This essay will look at three areas in which these two paintings differ and the art implications that these differences have. These differences are: the use of light, the detail shown on the subjects' features, and the distance from the main subjects of the paintings."

Abstract
This paper reviews the history of the artist Peter Paul Rubens and discusses how his work was influenced by Italian Renaissance classical themes. The paper further discusses examples such as "The Judgment of Paris", "Ganymede and the Eagle", and "Venus and Adonis".
From the Paper
"The Flemish realism of Rubens' art is visible amid his fondness for Italian Renaissance classical themes, in three principal works discussed in this paper, in his first version of "The Judgment of Paris", "Ganymede and the Eagle", and "Venus and Adonis". Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) was born in Westphalia to parents from Antwerp that had settled in Cologne. When his father died in 1587, he returned with his mother to Antwerp where he showed early promise as a student of Tobias Verhaecht, Adam van Noort and Otto van Veen (Wood 95f).Rubens left Antwerp as a young man to spend several years in Italy, also Spain, where he incorporated much of Titan's approach, Venetian colouring techniques, and various forms of drawing. In Flanders, much work in various media, towards being claimed as a Flemish artist, but by the Italians, as Italian. Mention of bold baroque themes, lighting/colour, and reference to several solid authorities."

From the Paper
"Sir Peter Paul Rubens was a noted Flemish painter and designer and the most influential figure of Baroque art in northern Europe. He was born in 1577 and died in 1640. He began his career in Antwerp, and his masters were three fairly undistinguished painters of that city--Tobias Verhaecht, Adam van Noort, and Otto van Veen. The latter of the three had studied in Rome and could offer the young painter knowledge of the world outside Antwerp, and he did indeed infuse the young man with a desire to visit Italy, which he did in 1600. Little of Rubens's early work survives, and the style we know was formed largely in Italy, where he remained until 1608 and worked for Vincenzo Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, who sent the young painter to most of the principal art centers of Italy to make copies for the ducal collection.. As was true of most painters of the Renaissance ... "

From the Paper
"The painting titled The Departure of Lot and His Family from Sodom is ascribed to Peter Paul Rubens by its current owner, the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida. But most facts about this 85.5" x 96" oil on canvas work have been disputed. Questions of dating and the degree of Rubens' participation in this particular product of his workshop are made even more difficult by the existence of two other, nearly identical, versions. Regardless of the answers to such questions, however, the striking painting is a good example of the way Baroque painters combined their exuberant style and appreciation of physical splendor with a moral message.
The Ringling painting is dated c. 1615-16 by Suida, who also holds that it was "principally painted by the master's own hand." But D'Hulst and Vandenven, who date it around 1613-15..."

Abstract
This paper first presents and overview of the crime Ruben Carter was accused of and sentenced to life imprisonment for and then takes a look at the impact this case has had on the American judicial system once it was determined that Carter had been wrongfully convicted. The paper points out that, despite the increased awareness of the inadequacies of the American judicial that Carter's case generated and the improvements in the justice system brought about by DNA technology, many Americans continue to be wrongfully convicted to this day in the United States of America.
From the Paper
"The case of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter has become a symbol, both negative and positive, for American's judicial system. Rubin carter's case has had a profound impact on accused and convicted criminals today. The advent of DNA technology has helped to reduce the number of wrongful convictions, and has also been instrumental in exonerating a number of convicted prisoners. While DNA technology has had an important impact on the criminal justice system, experts argue that the number of wrongful convictions is an increasing problem in the United States. One website lists 22 potential wrongful convictions on Texas' death row alone. Racism played an important role in Carter's original conviction, and today allegations of racism continue to plague the criminal justice system. The legal damage to the right of habeas corpus by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 has reduced the ability of prisoners to demand the right to be brought before a judge to determine if they have been unlawfully imprisoned. Altogether, while Rubin Carter's case brought a great deal of public attention and sympathy to the issue of wrongful convictions, accused and convicted criminals today continue to fact the problem of wrongful conviction."

Abstract
This paper explores the methods that resulted in the transformation of not only the behavior of a teenage boy, but also in the transformation of his very life. Many methods have been utilized in attempting to modify behavioral patterns in problem children and teens. This paper looks at the changes in a young man whose name is Ruben, the elements that contributed to those changes, and the viewpoint of Ruben as he tells us the story of his new outlook and life view.
From the Paper
"This is a story told by Ruben about his life. It is a candid look at the manifestations of anger, frustration, rebellion against authority, and it is a story that gives voice to the possibilities of transformation or change within an individual. Further Ruben will reveals the conditions, or change of conditions in the environment that is conducive to the culmination or the birth of the thought that change is possible. Ruben will further reveal the very elemental yet obtuse thoughts that may take root in the mind of a young individual in modern society and all that is entailed within that society. Finally, Ruben will reveal the ?self-perception? shift that he experienced and what critical element in the immediate environment broke through to his response and activated achievement within his life. Now Ruben will tell you in his own words what brought about an essential shift in his mental and emotional process that at the same time changed the course of life for Ruben by untold measures in avoidance of what might have been a terrible prospect for the future."

Outline
Introduction
Caravaggio
The Madonna of Loreto
Peter Paul Rubens
The Journey of Marie de Medici
Helen Fourment and Her Children
From the Paper
"The artistic period known as the Renaissance continued without any sharp stylistic changes well into the 17th and 18th centuries; however, the art of this later period is often called Baroque, although there is no single Baroque style or set of stylistic ideals. Yet within the last one hundred years or so, Baroque has taken on the overall designation for the art of the period from circa 1600 to 1750. More recently, scholars have come to understand that Baroque styles were very different from those linked to the Renaissance. For example, during the Renaissance, art tended to be rather static, but during the Baroque, art became very dynamic and encompassed passion, opulence, a taste for the theatrical and introduced the virtuoso, being an artist that stood out from his contemporaries as a truly gifted genius."

Abstract
This paper describes analyzes, interprets, criticizes, and gives a value judgment of the works of art. It explains how both works are religious in nature, and yet, both are quite different in their style and scope. It discusses how they reflect the society of the time and how society viewed religion and art.
From the Paper
"The painting is dark, partly because it depicts a very dark time, and yet, it is filled with color and movement. Physically, the work itself is small, smaller than it might seem possible to depict such a moving scene, but the size and the medium work. The colors are vibrant and alive, even though the subject ? Christ ? has just died on the cross. There are storm clouds in the background, and these are important, because they mirror the storm and torment going on around Christ, and the emotions of the people who loved him. Many of the mourners are depicted in muted colors and in the shadows, but the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene are both quite recognizable. One of the most vivid colors in the painting is the blood of Christ, on his body, and on the hands of one of the mourners. This draws the viewer's attention to his pain and suffering, as well as the suffering of those around him. The painting is small, but it is very emotional, and very powerful for such a small piece, and it made me quite sad to view it."

Baroque Art, 2006.
This paper compares two painters who used the Baroque style of art.

Abstract
The paper discusses how the Baroque style dominated art and architecture throughout Europe in the 1600s. The paper defines this style as having a dramatic use of light. The paper compares the works of Caravaggio and Rubens and concludes that while both painters have succeeded--in the Baroque style--at depicting a portion of the passion of Christ, they have differences. Caravaggio is more firmly planted in the style of his time, evoking strong emotion with relatively simple, if dramatic, depictions whilst Rubens decorates the scene more than transporting the viewer into the emotion of the event depicted.
Contents:
Introduction
Caravaggio and Rubens
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Baroque style dominated art and architecture throughout Europe in the 1600s, lasting in some places until about 1750 (Encarta, database online). The origin of the word is not certain. Some believe it was derived from the Portuguese word barocco or the Spanish word barueco, a word that referred to an irregularly shaped pearl (Encarta database online.) It should be remembered that pearls, baroque or otherwise, were only brought to Europe during the age of exploration, which slightly preceded what came to be called the baroque period of art. Baroque--or irregularly shaped--pearls would have been looked upon as doubly exotic and very dramatic, so it is not difficult to imagine the term being applied to art that was increasingly dramatic, even if the subject matter was not; the baroque painters had an affinity for Biblical subjects."

Abstract
"Fatality" by Ruben Dario is a lyric poem with 13 lines and three stanzas and embraces melancholy, mortality and the emotions of humanity. This paper examines the feelings that the poem expresses and the questions that are raised about the meaning of life.
From the Paper
"And so, at the outset of this poem, the reader sees that trees are happy because they are "scarcely sentient" (sentient means to be conscious, alert, attentive, responsive...in short, more than just alive). So a tree being "happy" is the use of personification, and Dario brings the poem into the human consciousness by saying in effect, if the tree were more like humans, it would be miserable. But because it is a living organism, and yet unthinking and unfeeling, it must therefore be in a happy state."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes three works of art: Peter Paul Rubens's "Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus" from 1618; Rembrandt Van Rijn's "The Descent from the Cross" from 1634; and Caravaggio's "The Death of the Virgin" from 1605/6. Specifically, the paper contains an opinion and assessment of each of the works.
From the Paper
""Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus" is an oil on canvas painting, measuring about 88 x 82 7/8 inches, and the original resides in the Pinakothek Museum in Munich, Germany. This painting portrays the abduction of two nude women by two large and powerful men, with their stallion rearing in the background, and a cherub hovering near the edge of the painting. The colors are rich and vibrant, from the natural skin tones of the women, to the tanned and burly beards of the men. Action and upheaval are at the center of this work ? it is clear the women are desperately fighting the men, and it is clear the men are more powerful than the women, and will carry them off to their fate. Paradoxically, the scenery in the background of the painting portrays a pastoral and peaceful scene of a landscape at sunset, in direct contrast with the activity and violence at the center of the painting. Rubens uses light and shadow to illuminate the action, while downplaying the scenic background, and the effect of the painting is emotional and disturbing. The overall quality of the work is soft and "painterly," which creates a sensual overtone."
