venice brings peace to the world the way the ancient romans did. and then there is apollo. apollo is, after all, god of the sun-- sole in italian. sole also stands for "one"-- that is "solo"-- and apollo is one. apollo is unique. apollo is alone in all this, just as venice is alone-- unique in the world. venetian artists--giorgione, veronese, tintoretto, and above all, titian-- transformed these public personifications and made them private, poetic, and desirable-- paintings commissioned by men who were proud of their sophistication. the venus of urbino is domesticated. she's brought indoors. she's put into the context of the bedroom. two handmaids are in the background. one of them kneels over a marriage chest-- a chest that would hold a trousseau. a marital theme is established there as surely as it is established by the myrtle plant that is silhouetted in the background. the myrtle-- a plant in perpetual bloom-- a symbol of perpetual love. the dog asleep at her feet-- a symbol of fidelity. as overtly sensual as her appeal is, this venus invites us to celebrate marital lo

roman society prospered. wealthy families gradually bought land from neighbors who had fallen into debt. the sellers then labored for the new owners as tenant farmers. during the republican period in the first centuries before christ, the wealthiest families formed their own armies. their troops owed loyalty only to their individual general, and not to the state. by sharing power, the families prevented any one leader from consolidating rulership. the family armies combined to conquer territories in europe and northern africa. some of the generals became very powerful. returning home after battle, even victorious generals had to petition the state for money and land to pay their armies. rewards for the troops were always uncertain. as the armies became more successful, they began to fight among themselves. finally, in 31 b.c., one general defeated his rivals to centralize rulership. augustus caesar became the first true emperor of rome. classics scholar mary beard inspects the house of augustus on rome's pala

the hapsburg holy roman emperors turned to rebuilding their ravaged land.ll along the danube, where bleak fortresses had guarded the river, a chain of magnificent abbeys was built. the victory over the turks meant that money was now available for grand enterprises. the monks' taxes paid for buildings rather than for weapons. these abbeys were meant to serve not only as religious communities, but also as hospices for the emperor. saint florian's abbey, begun in 1689, is the work of an italian and an austrian-- carlo carlone and jakob prandtauer. in true baroque fashion, the new abbey was a stage upon which royal ritual could be played out by the visiting emperor. paradoxically, the stage usually lacked its leading actor, for the emperor himself rarely visited any of the abbeys. but it didn't matter. the object was not imperial housing. it was to make a political point, to bear witness to the unity of christianity and empire. here we're dealing not with the glorification of an individual emperor, but with the need to assert the divine right to rule of an inst

another roman touch was la rue de rivoli. they prepared designs for linking the tuileries gardens with the louvre and started on the interior of the museum itself, where their inventive details can be admired today. the newly constituted louvre became napoleon's domain. he commissioned france's finest artists to glorify his deeds. the most celebrated was jacques louis david. disappointed with the aftermath of the revolution, david had sworn never to trust in men again-- only in ideas, yet he was fascinated by napoleon and quickly succumbed to his spell. when he first met the young general, he said, "oh, my friends, "what a beautiful head he has. "it is pure. it is great. "it is as beautiful as the antique. yes. bonaparte is my hero." decades before the revolution, the encyclopedist diderot had suggested the louvre be used for the public display of the royal collections. afterwards, in 1793, it opened as the museum central des arts. then came the brief but dazzling era of the musee napoleon, filled with loot of his campaigns.

he wasn't roman. he was venetian. he'd come to rome at 19. he climbed over the ruins.e excavated and recorded the past in over 1,000 views, not only the past, but the present of rome, too. copper was very expensive. he put his wife's dowry into an investment into these great plates, so he was very worried. he thought the french might go to athens. although he had french friends amongst these critics and architects in rome, he attacked them. he ridiculed greek architecture. but then, just before he died in 1778, he himself went south to pestum, and in 15 or 16 wonderful drawings, he conjured up the magic of greek architecture as never before. he showed that the column, that the french had thought of as a structural element which they wanted to express honestly, was really a piece of sculpture, a piece of beautiful sculpture. after that, with the discovery of pestum and greek architecture itself, the aesthetic vision of europe changed. so, as often in the history of western art, changes in ways of seeing coincide with and even anticipate social change. so it was in the b
