Answer:

Explanation:

The story of Oath of the Horatii came from a Roman legend first recounted by the Roman historian Livy involving a conflict between the Romans and a rival group from nearby Alba.The Romans select the Horatii and the Albans choose another trio of brothers, the Curatii. In the painting we witness the Horatii taking an oath to defend Rome.

The painting depicts three men, brothers, saluting toward three swords held up by their father as the women behind him is in grieve.One of the wives in the painting is a daughter of the Curatii and the other, Camilla, is engaged to one of the Curatii brothers. At the end of the legend the sole surviving Horatii brother kills Camilla, who condemned his murder of her beloved, accusing Camilla of putting her sentiment above her duty to Rome.

the painting is typically presented as a prime example of Neoclassical history painting. It tells a story derived from the Classical world that provides an example of virtuous behavior.Today the painting is typically interpreted in the context of the French Revolution and David’s own direct involvement as a revolutionary. The exact source of the scene that inspired David is in doubt but it is important to art historians because it can offer clues as to David’s intentions for the picture.

Why are key signatures important in music??
EastWind [94]
The key signature allows the composer to use less accidentals which makes the music less cluttered. Just like the other person who answered this said when a score with multiple instruments is written it is almost always all in the same key to keep the music organized (their answer is better)

1. Describe two ways that Buddhist art of the Gandhara style was influenced by the ancient Greeks. (4
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Alexander brought from Greece his soldiers with Greek religious, ideas and the art, specifically the sculptures of Olympian gods.

The indigenous religion was Buddhism.

But the influence Greeks create a challenge, as Indians started to turn to the conquerors religion. As consequence, in an area called Gandhara, the Buddhists started creating their own sculptures.

But in the lack of a prior indigenous sculptural tradition, they imitate their Greek rivals. The result was an impressive Greek-influenced Buddhist sculptural design.

The Gandhara School or Greco-Buddhist School of art was inspired on Greco-Roman standards.

Gandhara Art shows the ancients Greeks influence by many ways:

Greek god as protection: Buddha is always under the protection of Hercules (Greek god)

The Artistic beauty: Buddha with the same appearance as Apollo (the god of the sun)
