Sandro Botticelli (1445 - 1510)
BIOGRAPHY
Sandro Botticelli, short for Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi, was born on the 1st of March 1445 in The Republic of Florence which is now Italy. As a child he was easily bored in school and was known for his hyperactivity and love of practical jokes. At about fourteen years of age, he was withdrawn from his school and became an apprentice. He first worked for Maso Finiguerra as a goldsmith for 3 years but soon became an apprentice to the artist Fillipo Lippi at around the age of 17. From Fillipo Lippi he learned to paint more intricately and with more detail.
He then worked with Antonio del Pollaiuolo, painting frescoes on Florentine cathedrals and churches. At around 22 years of age he had his own workshop and was appointed to the confraternity of Florentine painters in 1472. He then employed Filipino Lippi, son of Fillipo Lippi as an apprentice. In 1481 it was requested by the Pope that he come to Rome to decorate the walls of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, which had just been completed. He painted frescoes of the life of Moses and the temptations of Christ. This was 30 years before Michaelangelo’s famous ceiling frescoes. He was very highly regarded around this time.

Between 1478 and 1490 he produced some of his most famous artworks such as ‘The Birth of Venus’ and ‘Venus and Mars’. Once his popularity began to die down, Botticelli became sad and depressed. He lived on his own having never married, and suffered from mental illness. He died on May the 17th, 1510 at the age of 65 in Florence, his place of birth.

He completed the ceiling all by himself after firing all of his assistants after his work had to be removed because of an infectious fungus in the plaster.

"Although he continued to sculpt and paint throughout his life, the physical rigor of painting the a chapel had taken it's toll on Michelangelo, and he soon turned his focus toward architecture. He continued to work on the tomb of Pope Julius II for the next several
Brought into this world on April 15th, 1452 was the famous artist Leanardo Da Vinchi. One of the atist that was able to master the “Vanishing point” Though he was mostly known for being an incredible artist, due to him not be a profile artist, he had many other outside interest. H e was known to be many other things, such as a painter, a sculptor, an architect, a military manufacture, an inventor, and a drafts man. However, within this essay, I’m going to be describing his journey through out his art work.
Michelangelo Merisi; also known as Caravaggio was a historical painter that can be traced back to Northern Italy. He was born on September 28th, 1571 in a town called Milan. At an early age, Michelangelo would flee with his family to Caravaggio to escape a plague that devastated their hometown. This was a major aspect in his life as he would soon be known by that name. Both his father and grandfather would pass away there just a few years later, coincidentally on the same day. It is believed that his family had close connections with the Sforzas which were a ruling class group in Italy at the time. They ended up playing a major part in the following years. Merisi was a man filled with intersecting personalities. During his early ages, he was a well trained painter.

Enrico Cecchetti was born on June 21, 1850 in a dressing room at the Tordinona Theatre in Rome, Italy. His parents were both dancers, who wanted Enrico to get a career in business pr law. Enrico wanted to be a dancer and worked hard to convince his parents of that. At first he was trained in ballet by his father but later was trained by Giovanni Lepri. Enrico also learned from Cesare Coppini and Filippo Taglioni. When Enrico had his debut in Milan at 20 he received many reviews and throughout his career he was considered one of the finest male dancers of his time. He performed in Russia always amazing audiences with leaps, pirouettes and feats of batterie. Enrico created the Blue Bird and the role of Carabosse in Peptipa’s The Sleeping Beauty
His precise birth date is unknown, as it seems he had misinformed people about his age throughout his lifetime. He was one of the most famous, versatile and skilled Italian Renaissance painters, particularly commended for his skills with fine brushwork and colors. His artwork consisted of wide range of subjects, from portraiture, to landscape, to mythological scenes, to spiritual with a constant change in his style over the time. He had successfully released over 600 artworks and was the first painter ever to paint primarily for the overseas clientele.
The work of art that I have chosen to write about, is the Three Miracles of Saint Zenobius (1500-10). This painting is part of a bigger collection that depicts scenes from the life of Saint Zenobius. It’s sister pieces are spread out in different parts of the world, such places as, London, Dresden and New York itself. The painter of this entire collection is Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) and he belongs to the Early part of the Renaissance. It is worth to note, that Botticelli was taught by Filippo Lippi. Fra Filippo Lippi was a prominent artist of his time and he painted his work with great color and as well with a narrative quality. Botticelli himself made a name for himself by his artistic style and to his contribution to painting the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel and even though his most notable work of art was the Birth of Venus that was created eighteen years prior to the Three Miracles, this piece of work takes a different approach than his other paintings. The painting itself resembles the Scenes from the life of Saint John the Baptist (1490/95) and it could be said that Botticelli was inspired by it.
Alessandro Filipepi most commonly known as Sandro Botticelli was born in Florence, Italy around 1445. Botticelli began studying under Renaissance painter Fra Filippo Lippi at the age of 16 and would go on to become one of the most acclaimed artists in Italy during his lifetime. During the Renaissance, art

Michelangelo Di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was the full name of the famous artist we all call by just his first name Michelangelo. Michelangelo was born on March 6th, 1475 in Caprese, Italy and lived with his parents and four siblings. Michelangelo's mother became sick when he was an infant and he was raised by a wet nurse. In Michelangelo's teen years he would leave school early and go to the church to watch the painted while they worked; his family started to see him as a disgrace as they didn’t see art as a profession he should join(Michelangelo). As he became older he worked more and more with stone over any other type of art and made
I have a great interest in education and school systems. Schools are one of the many non-profit organizations. Non-profit organizations are exempt from taxation. Schools are not created just to earn a profit. Schools are designed first and foremost to serve the students and help them succeed in life. Non-profit schools focus on providing quality education to students. Educational non-profits promote learning. Non-profit schools introduce new ways of teaching, learning and utilizing resources. Non-profits act in the best interests of the targeted audience; in this case, the students.
With the increased use of technology, there are new dangers of stolen information. More patients check their records online with their home computers, tablets or cell phones. This data loss can result from the device itself being lost or stolen, third party apps siphoning off data, or by sharing files through public cloud services. The patients are accessing their records, scheduling their doctors’ appointments via text or app, and health care providers are wirelessly sharing data. The health care industry has to acclimate to these changes in accessing patient information and make sure that their mobile access is secure and HIPAA compliant. They also need to find new ways to protect patient data, no matter how the data is being accessed. Of course, there is always the possibility of user error and the patients being at fault for divulging their personal information. Health care companies have to make sure that their staff and their patients are aware of ways to prevent compromising their data. Professionals should be trained and aware that it is not ok for them to email any patients’ records with the possibility of the transmission not being encrypted or the destination not being HIPAA compliant. The staff has to be prepared for any malicious occurrences in to protect the company’s networks. Due to increase in social media and people telling their life stories over the wide web, the privacy factor has become a grey area. Making sure that an end user is informed not to open
