Michelangelo (1475-1564), was one of the most famous artists in history. He was mainly interested in creating large marble statues, but his endless creative energy also led him to become a great painter and architect as well as a poet. He was also one of the most famous people of his time and a great leader of the Italian Renaissance, a period marked by a rebirth of interest in the art and learning of ancient Greece and Rome. Michelangelo is best known for his treatment of the human body in painting and sculpture. His figures convey a sense of grandeur and power, and arouse strong emotions in many spectators.
Church- edifice for public Christian worship, distinguished from a chapel or oratory.

The arch of Constantine is situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected to commemorate Constantine’s victory over Maxentius (one of the tetrarch) at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in AD 312 and of cecennalia or tenth anniversary as emperor in AD 315. (It was the year when Maxentius celebrated five years of reign in Rome). Arch was dedicated in AD 315, it is the latest of the existing triumphal arches in Rome, from which it differs by spolia, the extensive re-use of parts of earlier buildings erected by Hadrian, Traian and Marcus Aurelius.
The imperial-style structure was sometimes expanded to three arches with the central arch reaching a greater height than the two side arches. The triumphal arch of the empire was articulated by a facade of marble columns; ornamental cornices were added to the piers and attics, and the archway and sides were adorned with relief sculpture depicting the emperor’s victories and achievements. In Rome three triumphal arches have survived: the Arch of Titus (ad 81), with relief sculpture of his triumph over Jerusalem; the Arch of Septimius Severus (203–205), commemorating his victory over the Parthians; and the Arch of Constantine (312), a composite product, decorated with reused material from the times of Domitian, Trajan, and Hadrian.
Triumphal arches were erected in honour of important person or to commemorate a significant event such as victories. They have symbolic role, so that every relief depict allegory of victory. Exclusive right for triumphal entrance was allowed only for some specific person, namely emperor. Triumph of an emperor means glory entrance in the city, mostly riding a horse.
There is so many painting techniques, and they are very important.
Despite graphics and drawing sketches where the line is basic expression, paintings express themselves through paint, and off course through balance between lines and paint.
To produce painting technique is most important. Technique is an action applied while making painting.
It is the way for creating art depending of methods and assets. In wider sense by the name of ‘’technique’’ it can be considered a way of making art in specific period style or epoch, while in another it means one specific way to create art.
Tempera: Tempera was the most used technique. It is type of painting medium used to bind pigments. Etymology for tempera is from latin word temperare “to mix colors, temper, or regulate”. Tempera, also known as egg tempera, is a permanent fast drying painting medium consisting of colored pigment mixed with a water-soluble binder medium (usually a glutinous material such as egg yolk or some other size).
