...?Lorenzo de’ Medici and the Renaissance Born in 1449, Lorenzo de’ Medici lived in the period when early Italian Renaissance reached its peak. For many scholars his contributions to the Italian society in the span of his lifetime are crucial in the manner by which the Renaissance developed and evolved. This is not surprising because Lorenzo de’ Medici was an influential politician, patron of the arts, merchant and statesman.

...Lorenzo D’Medici One day it will be said that aristocratic patronage was the founder of the arts as we know them today. All this was made possible by the economies of the world becoming less centered on agriculture and more focused on trade. With this change, the aristocratic families such as my own began investing more in artistic or cultural pursuits. Beginning as early as the 1400s, those who were wealthy enough began supporting artists as a means of decorating our palaces and displaying our wealth. Fifteenth century Florence will perhaps be considered the highest point of the Italian Renaissance. I believe this to be a possibility because of the many works of art, sculpture and architecture that are being made...

...Nonrenewable fuel Origin and formation of petroleum (oil) Petroleum is formed from organic aquatic sediments suchas lipids, proteins and carbohydrates which are derived from algae and zooplanktons (White, 2006). These materials get deposited at the bottom of seas or lakes. As more sediment get deposited, the materials are exposed to tremendous pressures, and the through compaction, microbial action and chemical reaction, water is forced out material, and the carbohydrates, lipids and proteins are broken down to form kerogen which is waxy in nature (White, 2006). Bitumen is also formed in this step. This process is diagenesis and is considered the first step of petroleum formation (White, 2006). The second step of...

...Oil and the nature of a political resource Oil and the nature of a political resource
The presence of oil in developing countries has strengthened autocratic rule and has completely eroded democratic rule mostly in African countries. However, we know very little of the causal mechanisms that mostly link oil wealth and the democratic outcomes of a country. It is said that oil is a political resource core.

It is supposed to be a blessing but it has gone to become a curse to most countries (Mohr, 1926).

...Visual Analysis Paper The religious motif of Annunciation often served as an inspiration to create an artwork, especially in the case of Early Renaissance painters. In the essence of this narrative, there is a glorious moment when angel Gabriel came to Virgin Mary in order to tell her that she will be the mother of God’s child, Jesus. In Early Renaissance period, both Fra Angelico’s The Annunciation (c. 1450) and di Lorenzo’s The Annunciation (c. 1435-1440) imaged this religious celebration. In other words, they referred to the same narrative with identical figures within the same period in art. Due to this, the selected artworks demonstrate both striking similarities and certain slight differences. In fact, the setting...
