Gutenberg was a skilled metalworker and for a short time he was involved in producing special mirrors that were designed to capture “holy light” shining from religious relics. These mirrors were then sold to pilgrims that made their journeys to holy sites. Unfortunately that endeavor was unsuccessful and Gutenberg turned his attention elsewhere. Very little is known about Gutenberg’s early life and much of it remains a mystery. In 1411, there was an uprising in Mainz against patricians so his family was forced to leave along with more than a hundred other families. Nothing is known about his life for the next fifteen years. In 1434, a letter sent by him indicated that he was living in Strasbourg and was a goldsmith member enrolled in the
“. . . the poem is the product of a great age, the age of Bede, an age which knew artistic achievements of the kind buried at Sutton Hoo, an age in which art and learning were united to produce great gospel books like the Lindisfarne Gospels, now in the British Museum, . . . (Stanley 3). The Lindisfarne Gospels was written and artistically decorated about the year 700. About the middle of the tenth century a Catholic priest named Aldred, after translating The Lindisfarne Gospels from Latin into Anglo-Saxon, wrote on the last leaf of the manuscript a colophon naming the four Catholic religious responsible for making The Lindisfarne Gospels:
Brahms?s boyhood days passed uneventfull. He grew up with his brother fritz and sister Elise amid the poorest surroundings. Fritz turned to music (the Neue Zeitschrift mentions his successful debut at Hamburg in January 1864) was a piano teacher in Hamburg, lived for many years in Caracas, and died at an early age in Hamburg of a disease of the brain. Elise married a watchmaker, much to Johannes? disappointment.

It is commonly said that “life’s too short”, but it feels even shorter when one is forced into the next stage of their life pre-maturely. Alejo Carpentier’s journey through time in Like the Night explores not just the cycle of time, but also the cycle of life. Readers are transported from Ancient Greece, to the Spanish conquest of the new world, to the European Empire, to the First World War, and finally back to Ancient Greece. Instead of focusing on battle strategy, the front lines, or shell-shock; Carpentier writes on loss of innocence. While writing on the night before leaving home and the innocence lost in the sudden transition from boyhood to manhood, Carpentier also toys with loss of sexual

The content of this painting represents a Christian worldview because of all the symbolism inside the piece. The most predominant image in this painting is the light house, which is also the focal point of the piece. The viewers eyes are first drawn t the clouds in the top right corner of the painter before following the ocean waves to the shore that lead to the light house. A light house has always been a symbol of guidance as it is a beacon that guides sailors safely back to shore. Kinkade uses the light house in this painting to symbolize the love of God. The light house is shining brightly in his picture even though it’s not dark yet. In the same way God will always be a light to those to wish to follow Him. God will always lead us back to him and be a guide for our live. He will make sure that we always survive temptations. As the light house guides the ships out of the storm, God will always guide his people to the promise land.
Born in 1395 in a city of Mainz, Germany, Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg, made on of the greatest improvisation on one of the greatest inventions of all time, the printing press. The printing press is a large device used for printing ink onto paper of a printing medium. This device had to apply pressure upon the cloth or paper that rests on an ink surface of a movable type, or alphabet charters moulds that...
Becoming prominent 18th century, the Industrial Revolution was particularly confined to Britain, bringing profitable opportunities to the middle and lower class. Eventually, the Industrial Revolution spread to other countries, affecting each person differently. Adolph von Menzel, was a German painter, illustrator, printmaker, and teacher. He was the most important artist working in Berlin in the second half of the 19th century, causing him to have great influence throughout Germany. He also became one of German’s greatest proponents of realism, through his portraits, industrial artistic scenes, and his more intimate studies of interiors and local religious events. Menzel belonged to the school of German realism, but did not receive any

This cathedral was built during the Medieval Period for the worshipers of God. To this day pilgrims come to see the pure, Gothic cathedral. The massive cathedral seems to loom overhead as if a symbol of God watching over the worshippers that visit. The earlier church burned in 1194, it was rebuilt and has gained a much more appreciated and admirable character distinction, statuary, and stained glass. The distinct character of the thirteenth century was captured, through the “Age of Faith” period. The architecture is Gothic which was very popular in the 1200s. Gothic architects created a frame of support with columns and arches so that the walls no longer need to support the ceilings, but are freed up to hold windows. The Gothic structure allows for plenty of windows. Chartres has a significant collection of medieval stained glass, with over 150 early thirteenth century windows. The windows allowed sunlight to enter the dark, Gothic cathedral in order to highlight the story of Christ through the stained glass windows told throughout history to pilgrims alike. These windows create a spiritual and promising place for thought and prayer. Stained glass was used to help teach the stories of Christ to people that were illiterate during the medieval times. While most worshippers of that day were illiterate, comprehending the symbolism of the story of Christ in each of the windows was vital and gave meaning towards adversity during the medieval ages, as they struggled through their dark and dreary lives, which were filled with hopefulness, while viewing the story through the stained glass windows. The windows are also...
Forging, one of many manufacturing process, is where metal is pressed, pounded or squeezed under great pressure into high strength parts known as forgings. The process begins with starting stock which is heated to its plastic deformation temperature, then upset between dies to the desired shape and size. It is important to note that the forging process is entirely different from the casting (or foundry) process, as metal used to make forged parts is never melted and poured (as in the casting process). During this hot forging process, coarse grain structure is broken up and replaced by finer grains. Mechanical properties are therefore improved through reduction of cast structure, voids and segregation. Forging also provides means for aligning
depending on the size of the machine. Welding rods for the welder cost about $25
During 1448 a German inventor named Johann Gutenberg changed the world. With many different strategies that he overcame and ways that he could spread his creation, he did it so that the whole nation could experience his brilliant invention. Although, there were many achievements throughout the world that deeply impacted many things that we still use today, the most important achievement throughout technology is the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg. It helped spread the sprouting of religion, books and as well as influencing the public’s opinion throughout articles and newspapers.
