Gottfried Wals
Gottfried Wals, or Goffredo Wals (c. 1595 – 1638) was a German painter who spent most of his career in Italy. He was sometimes referred to as Goffredo Tedesco (Goffredo the German). Biography Little is known about his early life, except that he was born in Cologne. He wandered about through numerous Italian cities, including Naples and Genoa; arriving in Rome around 1615. There, he became an assistant to Agostino Tassi, a harsh master who attacked him with blows from a club and was briefly imprisoned in 1616, when Wals filed a complaint. The following year, he lived with the newly arrived Massimo Stanzione, in the Roman quarter of Trastevere. From 1620 to 1622, Claude Lorrain was an occasional student of his. In 1623, he was back in Genoa with Antonio Travi as his student. Most of his works were in small format, often circular and painted on copper. His interest in Composition (visual arts), composition and lighting is very marked and often bears resemblance to the works ...

Adam Elsheimer
Adam Elsheimer (18 March 1578 – 11 December 1610) was a German artist working in Rome, who died at only thirty-two, but was very influential in the early 17th century in the field of Baroque paintings. His relatively few paintings were small-scale, nearly all painted on copper plates, of the type often known as cabinet paintings. They include a variety of light effects, and an innovative treatment of landscape. He was an influence on many other artists, including Rembrandt and Peter Paul Rubens. Life and work Elsheimer was born in Frankfurt am Main, one of ten children and the son of a master tailor.

He was apprenticed to the artist Philipp Uffenbach. He probably visited Strasbourg in 1596. At the age of twenty, he travelled to Italy via Munich, where he was documented in 1598. His stay in Ven ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Immigrants To The Papal States
Immigration is the international movement of people to a destination country of which they are not usual residents or where they do not possess nationality in order to settle as permanent residents. Commuters, tourists, and other short-term stays in a destination country do not fall under the definition of immigration or migration; seasonal labour immigration is sometimes included, however. Economically, research suggests that migration can be beneficial both to the receiving and sending countries. The academic literature provides mixed findings for the relationship between immigration and crime worldwide. Research shows that country of origin matters for speed and depth of immigrant assimilation, but that there is considerable assimilation overall for both first- and second-generation immigrants. Discrimination based on nationality is legal in most countries. Extensive evidence of discrimination against foreign-born persons in criminal justice, business, the economy, h ...

Emigrants From The Holy Roman Empire
Emigration is the act of leaving a resident country or place of residence with the intent to settle elsewhere (to permanently leave a country). Conversely, immigration describes the movement of people into one country from another (to permanently move to a country). A migrant ''emigrates'' from their old country, and ''immigrates'' to their new country. Thus, both emigration and immigration describe International migration, migration, but from different countries' perspectives. Demographers examine push and pull factors for people to be pushed out of one place and attracted to another. There can be a desire to escape negative circumstances such as shortages of land or jobs, or unfair treatment. People can be pulled to the opportunities available elsewhere. Fleeing from oppressive conditions, being a refugee and Asylum seeker, seeking asylum to get Refugee#Refugee status, refugee status in a foreign country, may lead to permanent emigration.

1638 Calabrian Earthquakes
A series of mainshocks struck Calabria on March 27–28 and June 9, 1638. The first three earthquakes had moment magnitudes estimated to be 6.6–7.1. On June 9, another mainshock estimated at 6.7 struck the same region, causing further damage and casualties. The four earthquakes resulted in as many as 30,000 fatalities. Tectonic setting The region of Calabria is located between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas, where active extension is ongoing.

Known as the Siculo-Calabrian rift, this active geological feature is characterized by its high seismicity of earthquakes up to 7.1. Geology Historical documents suggests three large earthquakes occurred between March 27 and 28. The earthquake of March 27 occurred within the Crati Valley fault system, with the Piano Lago and Savuto–Deco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Catalogue Raisonné
A (or critical catalogue) is an annotated listing of the works of an artist or group of artists and can contain all works or a selection of works categorised by different parameters such as medium or period. A ''catalogue raisonné'' is normally produced by the artist or by a committee of family members, experts or academics, collectively known as "producers". The catalogue ordinarily contains a list of characteristics of an artwork such as the title, year of production, dimensions, medium and a description of the work, alongside an image of the work. Some catalogues also include scholarly commentary about each work or, sometimes, commentary about a piece from the artist. This information is relied upon by others to identify works and plays an important role in authentication. While historically ''catalogues raisonnés'' have been produced as physical books, there is a shift towards catalogues existing only in digital form, such as those of the artists Isamu Noguchi, Paul Césa ...
