Reproductie De damspelers - Michael Sweerts – Boeiende introductie In de fascinerende wereld van barokkunst onderscheidt "De damspelers" van Michael Sweerts zich als een iconisch werk, dat de diepte van menselijke interacties onthult door de lens van een schijnbaar eenvoudig spel. Dit schilderij, vervaardigd in de 17e eeuw, vangt niet alleen de intensiteit van de competitie tussen de personages, maar ook een intieme sfeer waarin de kijker wordt uitgenodigd zich te mengen in een moment van voelbare spanning. Het werk, doordrenkt met realisme, dompelt ons onder in een universum waar elk detail, van gezichtsuitdrukkingen tot de gebaren van de protagonisten, een uniek verhaal vertelt. De kunstdruk De damspelers - Michael Sweerts maakt het mogelijk deze levendige scène opnieuw te ontdekken, terwijl de fijnheid van het origineel wordt geëerd. Stijl en uniekheid van het werk De stijl van Michael Sweerts wordt gekenmerkt door een ongeëvenaarde beheersing van licht en schaduw, een techniek die bijdraagt aan de dramatische sfeer van "De damspelers". De gezichten van de personages, fijn gedetailleerd, onthullen complexe emoties, variërend van concentratie, spanning tot amusement. Het kleurenpalet, subtiel gekozen, roept een warmte op die contrasteert met de kilheid van de inzet van het spel. Elk element van de compositie, van kleding tot accessoires, is zorgvuldig samengesteld om een verbluffende visuele balans te creëren. De scène, hoewel statisch, lijkt te vibreren van een voelbare energie, alsof de personages binnenkort de stilte zullen doorbreken om zich aan een verbale strijd te wagen. Het is deze capaciteit om het moment vast te leggen, de spanning van een moment te vereeuwigen, die de kunstdruk zijn uniekheid en tijdloze aantrekkingskracht geeft. De kunstenaar en zijn invloed Michael Sweerts, geboren in 1618 in Brussel, wordt vaak beschouwd als een voorloper van het realisme in de schilderkunst. Zijn artistieke loopbaan leidde hem door heel Europa, vooral naar Rome en Amsterdam, waar hij werd beïnvloed door de grote meesters van zijn tijd. Zijn vermogen om het dagelijks leven te observeren en weer te geven, met een vleugje psychologisch diepgang, markeerde zijn werk. Sweerts was niet alleen een schilder, maar ook een getalenteerd portretschilder, wat terug te zien is in de manier waarop hij zijn onderwerpen met een voelbare menselijkheid afbeeldt. Zijn invloed is voelbaar.Shipping Notes

Mini
Somehow I did not notice they were sized mini when I ordered these. I opened them to realize that these would not fit a full size soap bar. They fit the scraps of tiny soaps inside. There is a good amount of texture to them that will help exfoliate your skin in the shower. Overall a good set of mini soap exfoliating bags. **Thanks for reading my review & hope that this review helps make your decision easier.**

They’re a little smaller than I thought but you can fit a dove bar in them. They work well.

Stellar information!
Format: Paperback
I bought this book to help with gathering information for a long research paper I was writing for university but I loved this book! From the cultural anthropological history to the braided neuroscience and historical analysis in between, this has become one of my recent favorites. I've even asked for other books written by this author on my Christmas list. Very fascinating read!

Leveling the playing field
Format: Hardcover
It is a not so tightly held secret that the Republicans know how to manipulate emotions for political advantage; with this book Drew Westen levels the playing field by not only providing insight into how emotions are evoked and taken advantage of politically, but also provides evidence-driven suggestions for the Democratic party to follow. The question, of course, is will the Democrats change their electoral strategies taking Dr. Westen's suggestions to heart, or will they follow the failed tactics of the Gore and Kerry campaigns, which relied on consultants following a rational-choice model of politics that prefers watered down political positions and milquetoast candidates in hopes of taking the "center".
While some may argue that this book is unethical by advocating the targeting of voters' emotions, instead of their "rational thought process", and thus is supportive of public manipulation, a very strong counter-argument might be made that putting this information in the public domain will help voters inoculate themselves against current Republican strategies which rely on scaring the public and arousing their anger against others using a range of techniques that border on the illegal. Specifically, the "RATS" subliminal advertisement used by the Bush 2000 campaign to attack Gore is, on close scrutiny, a very astute and professional advertisement that takes advantage of knowledge in the academic sphere that humans process information outside of conscious awareness. Specifically, a 1986 article in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology by Fazio et al. provided evidence that not only did the term "RATS" have a negative effect on peoples' evaluation of items presented afterwards, but that further, the term "Reagan" had a weak positive effect. Likewise, both Westen and colleagues and Stewart and Schubert(in Harvard International Journal of Press/Politics, 2006), in separate studies, suggest that the term "RATS" is an effective subliminal.
Furthermore, the use of fear/anxiety by the current administration is well established, with studies showing a correlation between changes in the Homeland Security color-coded threat indicator and political tactics. While one might argue over the timing of the Iraq invasion, and whether it was carried out for short-term political expediency, or to address a perceived threat in the region, one cannot argue with the rally effect that bolstered President Bush's ratings to over 90% immediately after 9-11 and over 70% after the Iraq invasion. Knowing that humans respond in predictable ways when different emotions are evoked allows not just politicians, consultants, academics and wonks to understand human behavior, but also will give the average citizen greater awareness of how the emotions evoked affect their decisions and responses. In other words, a more intelligent population may come from a more emotionally astute population.

A compelling counternarrative
Format: Hardcover
"The Political Brain" by Drew Westen is an important contribution to the political science literature in general and an inspiration for Democratic Party supporters in particular. Mr. Westen's knowledge of psychology and the cognitive sciences provides insight into how the individual develops a political consciousness. Showing how the Republican Party has gained advantage by developing an emotionally fear-laden narrative designed to exploit the electorate's psychic sensibilities, Mr. Westen argues that Democrats can and must develop a compelling counternarrative that appeals to the American public's better angels in order to inspire their supporters and win consistently at the polls.
The first section discusses the mind, brain and emotion in politics. Mr. Westen draws upon the latest scientific research to explain how emotion is integral to the brain's cognitive function. Mr. Westen recites passages delivered by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Bill Clinton to illustrate how political messages are most effective when they tie issues to emotionally resonant themes and images. Importantly, Mr. Westen also deconstructs the neoliberal ideology of Ronald Reagan to help us better understand the importance of evolutionary psychology and crafting popular messages with curb appeal.
The second section provides a blueprint for executing emotionally compelling campaigns. Mr. Westen explores the multiple layers of voter intelligence to reveal how Republicans have successfully used subliminal messaging to activate the public's feelings of anxiety in order to get people to vote against their own material self-interests. The author stresses that when Democratics shy away from conflict, voters instinctively detect weakness; therefore he recommends that Democrats cede nothing and go after issues that many voters tend to perceive as Republican. To that end, Mr. Westen offers a series of principled narratives on contentious issues such as abortion, affirmative action, gay rights and gun control that he believes could easily help the Democrats gain majority support by activating the American voter's sense of fairness, freedom and equality of opportunity. While perhaps not fully convincing on all subjects, Mr. Westen amply demonstrates that a coherent and inspirational counternarrative is possible.
Unfortunately, this otherwise excellent book succumbs to a transparent attempt at self-promotion by forcing readers to go to the author's website to read the footnotes. Boo! Yet despite this minor deficiency, I highly recommend this timely and fascinating book to everyone.
