The Forbidden City Analysis

King Louis XIV conducted engagements known as Versailles where everyone dressed up wearing current fashions to show respect to the king. France was divided among multiple religions in different regions and King Louie wanted a single religion across the lands which made him more powerful, but he also felt as though he had an obligation to the people to make sure they weren’t practicing false religions. King Louis also used the power of ballet to unite France by winning the Nobles approval by forcing ballet on them. Ballet which is still a popular dance today, is performed everywhere throughout the world.

Diego Velázquez was a leading artist whose is still referred to as Spain’s most influential artists. Velázquez gave hope for his servant

in which he painted a portrait of. Velázquez also painted a picture of himself along with the royal family in which he seemed to want to capture a moment in time, as well as his relationship he had with the King. He was known for his strokes, and the painting of a nude woman lying in bed with sheets surrounding her, as if it were real.
The Ottoman Empire which is now known as The Republic of Turkey lasted from the 1300’s until the year 1923. The Ottoman Empire was ahead of its time during the 1600’s, individuals excelled in science and education. The Ottoman Empire set the prices for the raw materials to prevent inflation within the lands, because the Europeans were purchasing an abundant of their materials they decided to limit their purchasing abilities. Because to the limitations of purchasing black market purchasing began to happen, as well as bribery among-st bureaucrats, therefore the economy began to decline.

Within the Forbidden City what interests me the most was the moving of the one piece of stone that still lies in front of the emperor’s palace, a stone that large, even with today’s technology would be extremely hard to move in one piece.

The Emperors being as powerful as they were had strict rules while engaging with their wives, which is quite interesting.

The Taj Mahal was built as a mausoleum or resting place as you would for one of the emperor queens in the 1600's. The empire was infatuated with his wife, they had a type of love no one could fathom. The queen died giving birth to their 14th son, and right before she died she requested if she could Have a building built just for her. The Taj Mahal is perfectly se metrical, and consists of designs from other mausoleum in India. The Taj Mahal during the time it was built cost India so much that a Fathom was happening at the same time. Rice was diverted from the cities to the area of the Taj Mahal to feed the architects and workers while they constructed this magnificent building out of brick and faced with layers of white marble. The main architect that that had constructed this building in located in Agra at Uttar Pradesh 282001 was named Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. With the construction of this building and labor involved I don't believe another building will ever be built quite like this

one.
Rembrandt van Rijn was best known for the way he portrayed light in the darkest of paintings, and his self portraits. Rembrandt didn’t seem to win over the people with his hard, therefore creating a hardship for him. He decided to cut his larger paintings to try to sell them his fellow countrymen.
