Answer:

The answer is "Oath of the Horatii"

Explanation:

The 1784 Neoclassical painting by Jacques-Louis David is considered to be a call to revolutionary action. It is based on the Roman legend mentioned on the first book of Livy.

The legend tells about the conflict between two cities, Rome and Alba Longa. Instead of marching to war, they agreed to settle their dispute choosing three men from each city, the Horatiis brothers from Rome and the Curiatti brothers from Alba Longa. These families would fight representing each city in combat willing to die for the cause.

The Painting depicts the moment where the Horatii brothers salute their father before going to combat, taking an oath to defend Rome willing to give their lives for the cause. They are fully supported and encouraged by his father in counter position to the image that we see on the right corner of the painting.

There we see the family women mourning and lamenting as they will suffer deeply the consequence of this battle. One of them, Camila, is engage to one of the Curatti brothers. Another one, wife to one of the Horatii brothers is sister to the Curatii. They are in despair and desolated as no matter the outcome they would lose their beloved.

This sense of patriotic duty represented the deep and highest values of Rome: loyalty, nobility and sacrifice. The painting became very popular and it placed David into a renowned position in the Art circuit of those days bringing him fame. It also represents the so popular Roman salute.

Um... dig up the soil to form a small hole to put the seeds in, then put the seeds into the hole and cover it back up with the dirt, and water it at daily depending on what type of plant you have.
You can also use fertilizer to make the soil more fertile.

1.Why is it important to learn the history of a country in order to understand the art they made?

mr Goodwill [35]

Does our culture consider cooks and carpenters to be as high in their status as lawyers or doctors (remember I'm not asking what we think, but what value our culture generally gives to those professions)? Our culture creates a distinction that we sometimes refer to as "blue collar" work versus "white collar" work.

In the Middle Ages and even for much of the Renaissance, the artist was seen as someone who worked with his hands—they were considered skilled laborers, craftsmen, or artisans. This was something that Renaissance artists fought fiercely against. They wanted, understandably, to be considered as thinkers and innovators. And during the Renaissance the status of the artist does change dramatically, but it would take centuries for successful artists to gain the extremely high status we grant to "art stars" today (for example, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, or Damien Hirst).
