Both Giovanni di Arrigo and Giovanni di Nicolao Arnolfini were Italian merchants, originally from Lucca, but resident in Bruges since at least 1419. The man in this painting is the subject of a further portrait by van Eyck in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, leading to speculation he was a friend of the artist.
The Puritans settled North America to gain religious freedom from the Church of England. At the time, everyone was required to join the Church of England, but they wanted complete religious freedoms.
Viking men took great pride with their hair. Many Viking burial sites have a comb as one of the items they were buried with.
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
The IRS collect your taxes; they don't have anything to do with security.
The culture is the traditions and common habits of the people. Culture is not a government organization so it does not really maintain order or ensure security.
The monarchy is basically the royalty or nobility. They rule the country but usually the king himself does not ensure security for his citizens.
The Government is what protects people's rights, ensures their security, and maintains order. There are many government systems set up to secure all of these rights.
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
