How did the poet Johann Wolfgang Goethe influence the development of painting?

The German poet, thinker and naturalist Johann Wolfgang Goethe (1749-1832) at one time wanted to become an artist, but he lacked talent. He wrote a treatise "To the teacher of drawing", in which he foresaw the modern theory of colors. This book was translated into his native language by the English painter Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851).

Goethe described how best to use the laws of color perception in painting. Turner recognized his point of view and used it in his work.

According to experts, it was under the influence of the ideas set forth in the book that Turner was able to convey in his canvases those subtle visual impressions that arise when light is reflected by water or viewed through rain, steam or fog. Some features in Turner's brushwork anticipated French Impressionism and Expressionism.

Why did the Mason-Dixon line appear?

The Mason-Dixon Line is the border that, on the eve of the American Civil War, separated the slave states from the free states, the southern part of the country from the north. This border originated in colonial times. The Penn family, which had holdings in Pennsylvania, and the Calvert family, which owned lands in Maryland, quarreled over the boundary between their holdings. This quarrel began in 1681.

Eventually, in 1763, the two families agreed to establish a boundary by measuring their holdings scientifically. They hired two English astronomers, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, to measure the property and set the boundary. The work was completed in 1767, and since then the boundary has been known as the Mason-Dixon Line. The border was marked with stone markers. But these stones were stolen by souvenir hunters. Now they have been replaced by permanent, solid signs.

The Mason-Dixon line became very famous. It was decided to measure again and prove its correctness. This was carried out in 1849 and tested at the beginning of our century. But Mason and Dixon were so accurate in their measurements that the line, after all the checks, turned out to be practically unchanged. This line separates Pennsylvania from Maryland and from part of West Virginia. The Mason-Dixon Line is now considered the border separating the northern states from the southern states, and runs along a latitude of 39 degrees 43 minutes 26,3 seconds.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Microprocessors based on ternary code for the Internet of things 24.11.2016

Scientists from South Korea's Sungkyunkwan University have developed a technology for semiconductors that operate in the ternary number system - a positional number system with an integer base of three. It is more capacious than the binary system in which modern computing devices operate today.

Another feature of the development, according to team leader Park Jin-Hong (Park Jin-hong), was the use of "negative differential resistance." This is a property of individual elements or nodes of electrical circuits, manifested in the appearance on the current-voltage characteristic of a section where the voltage decreases with increasing current.

In their work, South Korean scientists used an allotropic modification of phosphorus (phosphorene) and rhenium disulfide (ReS2). Unlike binary-based semiconductors, their development is more energy efficient, requires much less power, and will run faster, the scientists say.

This will eventually lead to the development of new energy-saving schemes that will be used in IoT devices and other industries associated with the processing of large amounts of data. Recall that, according to Gartner analysts, the number of IoT points worldwide will reach 2020 billion by 21. According to the Genpact Research Institute, $2030 trillion will be invested in the industrial Internet of Things by 60. These figures encourage developers to actively develop new technologies for this industry.
