 Caravaggio Print | Caravaggio Posters
The Counter-Reformation Church searched for authentic religious art with which to counter the threat of Protestantism, and for this task the artificial conventions of Mannerism, which had ruled art for almost a century, no longer seemed adequate.
Certainly he would have become familiar with the art treasures of Milan, including Leonardo’s Last Supper, and with the regional Lombard art, a style which valued "simplicity and attention to naturalistic detail"[5] and was closer to the naturalism of Germany than to the stylised formality and grandeur of Roman Mannerism.
He is possibly Francesco Boneri, identified with an artist active in the period 1610-1625 and known as Cecco del Caravaggio ('Caravaggio's Cecco'), carrying a bow and arrows and trampling symbols of the warlike and peaceful arts and sciences underfoot.

On the first vessel was Barents with his crew but after heading to the north area of Novaya Zemlya, they were confronted with heavy ice, compelling them to spend winter in the north.
Since his ship was not released until early 1597, Barents’ party left the area in two open boats in June.
In addition, with his extensive explorations and accuracy of charts for each of his voyages, Barents is still considered today as one of the most important of all arctic explorers, leaving valuable information for others who followed.

  Fibonacci number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pattern of length n can be formed by adding S to a pattern of length n−1, or L to a pattern of length n−2; thus Hemachandra showed that the number of patterns of length n is the sum of the two previous numbers in the series.
In music Fibonacci numbers are sometimes used to determine tunings, and, as in visual art, to determine the length or size of content or formal elements.

His research was stimulated by his colleague in the art department of Yale, Egbert Haverkamp Begemann (q.v.).
