This was one of many of jusepe's half length images of catholic patron saints which were probably used for private use.it depicts the hermit saint Onuphrius in nothing but a leaf loin cloth. His dirty fingernails, hollowed cheeks, and flesh sagging emaciated frame showed he had no care for his health but only that of Christians trying to seek salvation in the deserts.the cristians would have try and survive in the dangerous dessert which was filled with robbers and many dangerous animals and the weather conditions were very hard to live in so they needed the help of at least one of the dessert fathers.

This is a painting of king Lear drawn by Benjamin west in 1788. Benjamin west was an Anglo-American painter of historical scenes around and after the time of the American War of Independence. He was the second president of the Royal Academy in London, serving from 1792 to 1805 and 1806 to 1820. He was offered a knighthood by the British Crown, but declined it, believing that he should instead be made a peer. He was born on October 10,1738 and died march 11, 1820. King Lear is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. The title character descends into madness after disposing of his estate between two of his three daughters based on their flattery, bringing tragic consequences for all. The play is based on the legend of Leir of Britain, a mythological pre-Roman Celtic king. It has been widely adapted for the stage and motion pictures, and the role of Lear has been coveted and played by many of the world's most accomplished actors.The play was written between 1603 and 1606 and later revised. Shakespeare's earlier version, The True Chronicle of the History of the Life and Death of King Lear and His Three Daughters, was published in quarto in 1608. The Tragedy of King Lear, a more theatrical version, was included in the 1623 First Folio. Modern editors usually conflate the two, though some insist that each version has its individual integrity that should be preserved.
This work of art is the model boats of the Egypts. They used these boats to travel the Nile river.the Nile river isa major north-flowing river in northeastern Africa, generally regarded as the longest river in the world. It is 6,853 km (4,258 miles) long. The Nile is an "international" river as its water resources are shared by eleven countries, namely, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, Sudan and Egypt. In particular, the Nile is the primary water resource and life artery for Egypt and Sudan.the Egyptians may not have been such a successful race of people if not for the Nile it allowed them to get resources and other useful things they couldn't get on land. Egyptian identity is closely tied to geography. The population of Egypt is concentrated in the lower Nile valley, the small strip of cultivable land stretching from the First Cataract to the Mediterranean and enclosed by desert both to the east and to the west. This unique geography has been the basis of the development of Egyptian society since antiquity. If regarded as a single ethnic group, the Egyptian people constitute one of the world's largest.
