rembrandt, like a spotlight. there's another thing to notice. he used the same line inside the picture to create a feeling of grace and rhythm. you can trace the delicately curving line of her chin everywhere... in her dress, her bodice, her finger, her pillow. the only straight lines i can find are the armrest and the wall behind her. soon after this, the french revolution caused the death, ruin, or exile of many of fragonard's wealthy patrons. he survived by the skin of his teeth and died in 1806 without a penny. this is by one of the best women artists of the 19th century-- berthe morisot. she was the grandniece of fragonard and the sister-in-law of manet. doesn't something seem strange to you, though? look at the striking contrast between the two figures. berthe's sister is so light and fresh. her mother is so much darker and heavier. we know why. one day, berthe asked manet for his opinion. not only did he give it, he worked for four hours on the portrait of berthe's mother. she was annoyed, but could do nothing. a messenger was waiting to

more than a century later, rembrandt, who never saw the original, drew it from copies.although leonardo only left behind him a handful of masterpieces, their influence has made itself felt all over the world. taking models from real life was a characteristic of leonardo, and his notebooks are filled with a variety of faces-- some beautiful and some grotesque. when leonardo applied his artistic genius to his scientific observations, the results were meticulously accurate. his anatomical studies, for example, are still used even in medical schools today. many of these drawings are now in the royal library collection at windsor castle. dr. kenneth keel, who is an authority on these anatomical drawings, commented on them. keel: leonardo's anatomical explorations really are comparable to those of columbus, in the sense that leonardo explored the microcosm that is this small world of the body at the very same time as columbus was exploring the greater world, the macrocosm, and the oceans of the world. and he described the human body as a marvelous creation. as a matter of fac

figures such as leonardo, mix el anglo, botticelli, thomas moore, william tindale, rembrandt, shakespeare and john dunn need at least a few more pages that we can hope to devote to them here. for the truly great figures are always pointing to what is invisible and are somehow managing to express the inexpressible. which brings me to my ultimate and outsized assertion about these matters. good religion, like great art, is necessarily mystical, affirming what is always beyond proof or even likelihood or even possibility. so take that, richard dawkins. [laughter] think of job perhaps 27 centuries ago insisting that all his supposedly comforting and quite comfortable friends are wrong. that as job insists in an assertion without proof and in a better translation than he's usually given, this i know, that my avenger lives, and he -- the last of all -- will take his stand upon this earth and in my flesh shall i see god. quite impossible. quite batty really. and utterly necessary. for only such a reality can redeem, vindicate, avenge the innumerable injustices of history, the slaughtered, to to

on the other hand, this is like great religious art, like rembrandt.afford us unique insights into the texts that we haven't thought of before in comparing the original and this you new artistic rendition often casts new significant light on both items. >> tom, is there any concern that as we go on into the year -- we talk about the ones coming out in the first quarter, but as we get kind of further into 2014 that some of the interest will kind of fade off and this might backfire for people who are adding a late summer or fall release? >> absolutely. two of the biggest ones both come out in december next year competing for holiday moviegoers and that's "mary mother of jesus" and "exodus." both of them. so that could be a big issue. and also, "son of god" is a little dubious, too, because this is outtakes from the bible miniseries. this is from mark burnett who gave us "celebrity apprentice." they shot extra footage, repackaging it. the miniseries got very bad reviews. critics say it was too episodic, it didn't really flush out the story. >> this is lef

riffed their lives to save historical buildings and thousands of pieces of arts including works by rembrandtth, the same day the film comes out nationwide. >> not many peel know what they did. >> amazing. the book is amazing. so looking forward to the movie. i talk about it every day. it's my new "magic mike." >>> also in "pop news" today, last year the oscars celebrated 007. this year be prepared to skip down the yellow brick road. "the wizard of oz" is about to celebrate its 75th anniversary and oscar producers say they will honor it during this year's broadcast. not sure how yet or with who but the film first nominated for an oscar for best picture way back in 1939. it was actually nominated for six oscars in all, won two or original score and original song. the movie lost best picture. anybody guess? there is a prompter. >> don't tell me. yeah, but -- >> "gone with the wind." >> yeah. that's some tough competition. >> yeah. >> yeah. darn it. >> i didn't look at the prompter. >> you didn't? >>> all right, judy garland, by the way, received an academy juvenile award for her role a couple y

what came is a discussion about expressionism and postmodern expressionism became worth more than rembrandtsme to say it's tulips, david, and it's not tulips. >> no. you can say by 2016, you get a $100 stock, it wouldn't be the worst turn. there's a lot of risk in that. >> i went out to salesforce and to dream force flp's a lot of companies you could buy that would make it so twitter became more of a force in social, mobile and the cloud, which are the trilogy that moves all tech higher. >> we didn't talk about macy's and martha stewart and the settlement there. there has been a long time in coming. they're still having a dispute with jcpenney, let's not forget, fo another retailer we talked a lot about in 2013. >> terry lundgren came on "mad money" right in the heart of christmas time and said this is a great -- not good -- a great holiday season. macy's is on a roll, charitable trust owns it. terry lundgren has done a remarkable job. the department store, i think it's making a ruseturn. >> really? come on. >> they do a lot of omni channel -- >> the department stores or macy's doing a good

the question is are they rothkos, not rembrandts and rothko certainly was worth a lot more than the oldth that, s&p's right around break even for the break and let's get to bob pisani on the floor to see what's moving. >> i spoke briefly with paul allen as he was coming by and no surprise to who he thinks will win this game and he said he's looking forward to a very good game. let's talk about earnings and what's going on. a better tone to the market. we're almost halfway through earnings season, 45% this morning. today is the biggest day of the whole earnings season, about 10% of the s&p 500's reporting. so far 45% reporting, earnings are up 7.7%, revenues are up 3.5%, those are good numbers. this is not a disappointing earnings season. what does move things, of course, is guidance. so, let's take a look here, under armour, great beat, great 2014 guidance, you see the stock trading up. and sherwin-williams their guidance below estimates and on the down side. citrix is a big loser 2014 guidance was disappointing, i saw a whole bunch of downgrades specifically at citi and bear downgraded
