Vinci (board game) Vinci is a board game designed by Philippe Keyaerts. It resembles a diceless variant of "Risk" with variable special abilities and an original decline mechanic, and is also similar in some ways to "History of the World". The game's name, pronounced "Vinchi", means "to be conquered" in Latin. In 2009, the game's mechanics were re-implemented with several changes and a fantasy-oriented theme as "Small World", also credited to Keyaerts, and published by Days of Wonder.

Cretan School Cretan School describes an important school of icon painting, also known as Post-Byzantine art, which flourished while Crete was under Venetian rule during the late Middle Ages, reaching its climax after the Fall of Constantinople, becoming the central force in Greek painting during the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. The Cretan artists developed a particular style of painting under the influence of both Eastern and Western artistic traditions and movements; the most famous product of the school, El Greco, was the most successful of the many artists who tried to build a career in Western Europe, and also the one who left the Byzantine style farthest behind him in his later career.

Madonna of the Yarnwinder The Madonna of the Yarnwinder (Italian: "Madonna dei Fusi" , “Madonna of the Spindles”) is a subject depicted by Leonardo da Vinci in at least one, and perhaps two paintings begun in 1499 or later. Leonardo was recorded as being at work on one such picture in Florence in 1501 for Florimond Robertet, a secretary to King Louis XII of France. This may have been delivered to the French court in 1507, though scholars are divided on this point. The subject is known today from several versions of which two, called the Buccleuch Madonna and the Lansdowne Madonna, are thought to be partly by Leonardo’s hand. The underdrawings of both paintings show similar experimental changes made to the composition (or "pentimenti"), suggesting that both evolved concurrently in Leonardo’s workshop.

Leonardo's crossbow Leonardo's crossbow is a type of shooting weapon designed by Leonardo da Vinci, whose drawings are in the "Codex Atlanticus". Never constructed by its designer, it was instead built to a scale of 1:1, as shown in the ITN documentary "Leonardo's Dream Machines", which was aired for the first time in February 2003 by Channel 4. The original idea of Leonardo, as described in the drawings of the "Atlantic Codex" (1488–1489), was to build a giant crossbow in order to increase the range of the dart. It was used to fire rocks and bombs, it was mostly intimidation based.

Ansano di Andrea di Bartolo Ansano di Andrea di Bartolo (1421–1491) was an Italian painter active in Siena. After a brief spell in the late 1430s in Castiglione Olona (near Milan), as an assistant in Masolino’s workshop, he returned to Siena, where in the 1440s he quickly established him- self as one of the most progressive artists in the city. This was a time when the Renaissance avant-garde of Sienese painters, headed by Domenico di Bartolo and Lorenzo Vecchietta, were eagerly assimilating the innovations of the leading Florentine artists of the early Renaissance. Following in the footsteps of the leading Florentine painters and sculptors – Masaccio, Masolino, Filippo Lippi, Lorenzo Ghiberti and Donatello – they reformed the traditional formulas of Sienese painting without breaking with their own well-established traditions. These artists permeated their old Sienese formulas and inventions with a Renaissance spirit and produced pictures of major physical substance, consequently scenes of higher empathy, and, in the case of the splendid frescoes of the Pellegrinaio of the Ospedale di Santa Maria della Scala in Siena, episodes embedded in fantastic architectural settings, constructed as eccentric expressions of the newly acquired rules of perspective within an artistic vocabulary of no lesser eccentricity inspired by the classical world.
