Shakespearean

 



Em a cena do balcão, Romeo, o Montecchi, e Giulietta, a Capuleti, da peça de Shakespeare (poeta e dramaturgo inglês). 

Filhos de famílias inimigas, eles se  conhecem em um baile e se apaixonam um pelo outro.

Depois do baile, Romeo pula o muro da casa de Giulietta e vai espreitá-la.

Giulietta está em seu quarto, mas vem pra varanda, e começa a falar dele, e aí ele se apresenta. 

Então, ela o diz : poucas palavras dessa voz ouvi, mas pelo som logo a reconheci. Tu não es um Montecchi ? Não te chamas Romeo ? 

E ele responde : Não, minha bela, nem Montecchi, nem Romeo ! Se o meu nome não te agrada, eu não sou eu ...

Art telling Women's former role at Society

  This is a famous portrait of The Empress Elisabeth of Austria, known as Sissi. It was painted in 1865 by the german artist Franz Xaver Winterhalter, who  painted her a couple of times. Winterhalter used to apply the brushwork, which was influenced by the Romantic style. In the 1860s, women were expected to not only be exemplary mothers, but also to have great fashion sense.  Through their fashion, women became the 'mirror' of their husbands.
