The correct option is D

The Nordic generalized nickname is applied to the human groups settled in the most inhabited areas of Scandinavia, generally in the center and the south and mainly in coastal zones during the period between the end of the VIII century until the XI century. They had abundant settlements and small kingdoms in the areas that currently cover part of the Faroe Islands, England, Scotland, Wales, Iceland, Finland, Ireland, Russia, Sicily, Canada, Greenland, France, Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Germany. In the 8th century the sudden and constant irruption of the Vikings could already be felt throughout the territory of Pictia. They were pagan Vikings of the wildest, most ruthless and ruthless profile composed of Finn-Gall or Norwegians, and Dubh-Gall or Danish.

The Vikings shared the same Nordic term at least during the early Middle Ages, especially in relation to monastic attacks and looting in England and Ireland. The nickname Northern Men became popular for the famous prayer A furore normannorum libera dominates us ("From the fury of the northern men deliver us Lord"), no doubt attributable to the monks of the monasteries plundered by Viking raids over the centuries VIII and IX.

Michelangelo The creation of man.<br>1. What makes this a renaissance painting?​
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam

Michelangelo, Creation of Adam, from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, Rome, 1508-1512, fresco

The most famous section of the Sistine Chapel ceiling is Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam.  This scene is located next to the Creation of Eve, which is the panel at the center of the room, and the Congregation of the Waters, which is closer to the altar.

The Creation of Adam differs from typical Creation scenes painted up until that time.  Here, two figures dominate the scene: God on the right, and Adam on the left.  God is shown inside a floating nebulous form made up of  drapery and other figures.  The form is supported on angels who fly without wings, but whose flight is made clear by the drapery which whips out from underneath them. God is depicted as an elderly, yet muscular, man with grey hair and a long beard which react to the forward movement of flight.  This is a far cry from imperial images of God that had otherwise been created in the West dating back to the time of late antiquity.  Rather than wearing royal garments and depicted as an all-powerful ruler, he wears only a light tunic which leaves much of his arms and legs exposed.  One might say this is a much more intimate portrait of God because he is shown in a state that is not untouchable and remote from Man, but one which is accessible to him.

Unlike the figure of God, who is outstretched and aloft, Adam is depicted as a lounging figure who rather lackadaisically responds to God’s imminent touch.  This touch will not only give life to Adam, but will give life to all mankind.  It is, therefore, the birth of the human race.  Adam’s body forms a concave shape which echoes the form of God’s body, which is in a convex posture inside the nebulous, floating form.  This correspondence of one form to the other seems to underscore the larger idea of Man corresponding to God; that is, it seems to reflect the idea that Man has been created in the image and likeness of God – an idea with which Michelangelo had to have been familiar.

One of the questions that has been raised about this scene is the identity of the figures next to God.  Given her privileged placement under the arm of God, the female figure is presumably an important one.  Traditionally, she has been thought to be Eve, the future wife of Adam, who waits to the side until she is created out of Adam’s rib.  More recently, however, a theory has been floated that this is actually the Virgin Mary, who takes this place of honor next to God and the child next to her, who would therefore be the Christ Child.  This view is supported by the placement of God’s fingers on the child – the same fingers that the priest would use to raise the Eucharist during the Mass.  Since Catholic theology holds that the Eucharist is the Body of Christ, this theological understanding would be embodied in this painting.  If this latter interpretation is correct, the Creation of Adam would be intrinsically linked to the future coming of Christ, who comes to reconcile man after the sin of Adam.

In all, the painting shows several hallmarks of Michelangelo’s painting style: the lounging position of both Adam and God, the use of bodies which are both muscular and twisting, and the painting of figures who come across as works of sculpture. It is good to remember that Michelangelo was, after all, a sculptor.  Painting was not his primary area.

The Creation of Adam is one of the great jewels of Western art, though it and the rest of the Sistine Chapel ceiling suffered the ill effects of centuries of smoke that had caused the ceiling to darken considerably.  It was not until 1977 that the cleaning of the ceiling was begun.  The result of the cleaning was astonishing after its completion in 1989; what was once dark and drab became vivid.  The change from pre-cleaning to post-cleaning was so great that some initially refused to believe that this is the way Michelangelo actually painted.  Today, we have a much better understanding of Michelangelo’s palette and the world he painted, beautifully captured across the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

Answer:

 The Tang dynasty:

- boasted a strong and competent military force

- political corruption contributed to its downfall

The Song dynasty:

- conquered by the Mongols after facing threats from  nomadic groups

- completed the Grand Canal project started by the Sui dynasty

Explanation:

The Tang Dynasty was the Chinese imperial dynasty that succeeded the Sui dynasty, and it is considered as one of the greatest imperial dynasties in Chinese history. This dynasty established a strong and effective cultural and military advancement which can still be noted in China today. However, hanks to the corruption and internal conflicts, the imperial power was weakened, the power passed to the provinces, which later caused the downfall of the dynasty.

The Song dynasty referees to Chinese rulers who ruled from 960 to 1279 and reunited China. This dynasty completed the Grand Canal project, started by the Sui dynasty and made many important economic and trade improvements. Unfortunately, this dynasty faced many threats from nomadic groups, until the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty had finally conquered it in 1279.
