RADICAL. Según Amnistía Internacional, Human Rights Watch y la Comisión Internacional de Juristas, el juez Baltasar Garzón ha aplicado en España la legislación internacional porque los crímenes contra la humanidad no prescriben. Y por ello han expresado hoy su rechazo a su juicio, que se inicia mañana, por haber investigado las violaciones realizadas durante la Guerra Civil y el Franquismo. Es la primera vez en la Unión Europea que se juzga a un juez por aplicar la legislación internacional.
Por esa razón, TRES organizaciones internacionales en defensa de los derechos humanos (Amnistía Internacional, Human Rights Watch y la Comisión Internacional de Juristas) han pedido que se cierre, lo antes posible, el juicio contra el juez Baltasar Garzón por investigar los crímenes del franquismo, que comienza mañana en el Tribunal Supremo. 23-I-12, J.

Resumen Dentro del patrimonio escolar de Cantabria hemos de resaltar un importante legado de edificios de excelente factura, al que sin duda han contribuido con su buen hacer profesional un destacado número de arquitectos, tanto locales como foráneos. Las líneas que a continuación se redactan quieren recoger esa valiosa aportación, aunque algunas escuelas actualmente hayan desaparecido o cambiado su función.
En esta ocasión nos ceñiremos a los arquitectos nacidos en la región y que realizaron construcciones escolares de finales del XIX hasta la primera mitad del XX. Nos ocuparemos en otra oportunidad de las construcciones de los últimos cincuenta años. No pretendemos exponer sus biografías, que en muchos casos han sido estudiadas en sendas monografías, sino constatar la autoría del rico patrimonio escolar que proyectaron. Introducción En 1869 se convocó un concurso para la redacción de varios proyectos de escuelas en función del número de alumnos. RUIZ de SALCES, Antonio Escuela de Adal.

The Castle of Otranto. The Castle of Otranto is a 1764 novel by Horace Walpole. It is generally regarded as the first gothic novel, initiating a literary genre which would become extremely popular in the later 18th century and early 19th century. Thus, Walpole, by extension, is arguably the forerunner to such authors as Charles Maturin, Ann Radcliffe, Bram Stoker, Edgar Allan Poe and Daphne du Maurier. History[edit] The initial 1764 edition was titled in full The Castle of Otranto, A Story.
Translated by William Marshal, Gent. In the second and subsequent editions, Walpole acknowledges authorship of his work, writing: "The favourable manner in which this little piece has been received by the public, calls upon the author to explain the grounds on which he composed it" as "an attempt to blend the two kinds of romance, the ancient and the modern. In his 1924 edition of The Castle of Otranto, Montague Summers showed that the life story of Manfred of Sicily inspired some details of the plot.
The Plot[edit] Gothic architecture. The interior of the western end of Reims Cathedral Gothic architecture is a style of architecture that flourished during the high and late medieval period. It evolved from Romanesque architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance architecture. Originating in 12th-century France and lasting into the 16th century, Gothic architecture was known during the period as Opus Francigenum ("French work") with the term Gothic first appearing during the latter part of the Renaissance. Its characteristics include the pointed arch, the ribbed vault and the flying buttress. Gothic architecture is most familiar as the architecture of many of the great cathedrals, abbeys and churches of Europe.
It is also the architecture of many castles, palaces, town halls, guild halls, universities and to a less prominent extent, private dwellings. The term "Gothic"[edit] According to a 19th-century correspondent in the London Journal Notes and Queries: Definition and scope[edit] The scope of Gothic architecture.
Strawberry Hill House. Strawberry Hill House in 2012 after restoration Strawberry Hill House, often referred to simply as Strawberry Hill, is the Gothic Revival villa that was built in Twickenham, London by Horace Walpole from 1749. It is the type example of the "Strawberry Hill Gothic" style of architecture,[1] and it prefigured the nineteenth-century Gothic revival. Walpole rebuilt the existing house in stages starting in 1749, 1760, 1772 and 1776. These added gothic features such as towers and battlements outside and elaborate decoration inside to create "gloomth" to suit Walpole's collection of antiquarian objects, contrasting with the "riant" (smiling) garden.
The interior included a Robert Adam fireplace; parts of the exterior were designed by James Essex. The garden contained a large seat shaped like a Rococo sea shell; it has been recreated in the 2012 restoration.

The uncanny (German: Das Unheimliche, "the opposite of what is familiar") is a Freudian concept of an instance where something can be both familiar yet alien at the same time, resulting in a feeling of it being uncomfortably strange.[1] Because the uncanny is familiar, yet incongruous, it often creates cognitive dissonance within the experiencing subject, due to the paradoxical nature of being simultaneously attracted to yet repulsed by an object.
This cognitive dissonance often leads to an outright rejection of the object, as one would rather reject than rationalize, as in the uncanny valley effect.

E. T. A. Hoffmann's Short Story: The Sandman. ________________________________________________Title: The SandmanAuthor: E. T. A. Hoffmann [More Titles by Hoffmann] Certainly you must all be uneasy that I have not written for so long--so very long. My mother, I am sure, is angry, and Clara will believe that I am passing my time in dissipation, entirely forgetful of the fair angel-image that is so deeply imprinted in my heart and mind. Such, however, is not the case. You suspect that only relations of the most peculiar kind, and exerting the greatest influence over my life can give any import to this occurrence, nay, that the person of that unlucky dealer must have a hostile effect upon me.
Excepting at dinner time I and my brothers and sisters saw my father very little during the day. A most frightful image of the cruel Sandman was horribly depicted in my mind, and when in the evening I heard the noise on the stairs, I trembled with agony and alarm. I was rivetted to the spot as if enchanted. Ah! E. T. A. Hoffmann. Caravaggio. Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (Milán, 29 de septiembre de 1571 – Porto Ércole, 18 de julio de 1610) fue un pintor italiano activo en Roma, Nápoles, Malta y Sicilia entre los años de 1593 y 1610. Es considerado como el primer gran exponente de la pintura del Barroco. Introducción[editar] «Después de varios años de trabajo, Caravaggio pasó de una ciudad a otra sirviendo a varios señores importantes.
Es una persona trabajadora, pero a la vez orgullosa, terca y siempre dispuesta a participar en una discusión o a enfrascarse en una pelea, por lo que es difícil llevarse bien con él».Floris Claes van Dijk.[1] En 1606 asesinó a un hombre durante una reyerta, por lo que huyó de Roma pues las autoridades habían puesto precio a su cabeza. En 1608 se vio nuevamente envuelto en otra riña, lo que se repitió más tarde en Nápoles hacia 1609, ocasionado posiblemente por un atentado en su contra, realizado por sus enemigos.
Biografía[editar] Primeros años (1571–1592)[editar] Roma (1592–1600)[editar] Baroque painting. Baroque painting is the painting associated with the Baroque cultural movement. The movement is often identified with Absolutism, the Counter Reformation and Catholic Revival,[1][2] but the existence of important Baroque art and architecture in non-absolutist and Protestant states throughout Western Europe underscores its widespread popularity.[3] The prosperity of 17th century Holland led to an enormous production of art by large numbers of painters who were mostly highly specialized and painted only genre scenes, landscapes, Still-lifes, portraits or History paintings.
Technical standards were very high, and Dutch Golden Age painting established a new repertoire of subjects that was very influential until the arrival of Modernism. History[edit] The term[edit] The term "Baroque" was initially used with a derogatory meaning, to underline the excesses of its emphasis. Notable Baroque painters[edit] British[edit] Dutch[edit] Czech (Bohemian)[edit] Flemish[edit] French[edit] German[edit] Francisco de Zurbarán. Francisco de Zurbarán (baptized November 7, 1598 – August 27, 1664) was a Spanish painter.
He is known primarily for his religious paintings depicting monks, nuns, and martyrs, and for his still-lifes. Zurbarán gained the nickname Spanish Caravaggio, owing to the forceful, realistic use of chiaroscuro in which he excelled. Biography[edit] Zurbarán was born in 1598 in Fuente de Cantos, Extremadura; he was baptized on November 7 of that year.[2][3] His parents were Luis de Zurbarán, a haberdasher, and his wife, Isabel Márquez.[3] In childhood he set about imitating objects with charcoal. In 1614 his father sent him to Seville to apprentice for three years with Pedro Díaz de Villanueva, an artist of whom very little is known.[4] His first marriage, in 1617 was to María Paet who was 9 years older. Style[edit] It is unknown whether Zurbarán had the opportunity to copy the paintings of Caravaggio; at any rate, he adopted Caravaggio's realistic use of chiaroscuro and tenebrism.
Exhibitions[edit] Antonio Carnicero. Antonio Carnicero (1748–1814) was a Spanish painter of the Neoclassic style. Born in Salamanca on January 10, 1748 and died in Madrid on August 21, 1814. He was trained with his father, Alejandro Carnicero, a sculptor. He then traveled to Rome and returned to be named chamber painter for King Charles III of Spain. He also worked as an engraveor. Son of sculptor Alexander Carnicero, went to the court of Madrid in 1749 by Felipe de Castro with his father whom he had commissioned a series of sculptures for the royal apartments. In 1766 he returned to Madrid where he began to paint for Erotic Dance club "La Dumpiere", private clients and then working for the Royal Household since 1775 with Joseph del Castillo in the execution of tapestry cartoons. Highlighted as a draftsman and printmaker. He obtained a great result with the work the coronation of King Alfonso XI and Queen Mary, his wife in the competition held to decorate the church of San Francisco el Grande in Madrid.
Análisis de El Orfanato en Blu-ray - ZONADVD.com. Francisco de Goya. Firma de Francisco de Goya. Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (Fuendetodos, provincia de Zaragoza, 30 de marzo de 1746-Burdeos, Francia, 16 de abril de 1828)[1] fue un pintor y grabador español. Su obra abarca la pintura de caballete y mural, el grabado y el dibujo. En todas estas facetas desarrolló un estilo que inaugura el Romanticismo. El arte goyesco supone, asimismo, el comienzo de la pintura contemporánea, y se considera precursor de las vanguardias pictóricas del siglo XX.
Tras un lento aprendizaje en su tierra natal, en el ámbito estilístico del barroco tardío y las estampas devotas, viaja a Italia en 1770, donde traba contacto con el incipiente neoclasicismo, que adopta cuando marcha a Madrid a mediados de esa década, junto con un pintoresquismo costumbrista rococó derivado de su nuevo trabajo como pintor de cartones para los tapices de la manufactura real de Santa Bárbara.

El Orfanato (Juan Antonio Bayona, 2007) Reseña de Sergio Checa Jociles: *El siguiente trabajo revela puntos clave de la película. En España el cine de terror existe, tanto que ha sido y es uno de los más demandados. En estos últimos años, rara es la ocasión en la que no nos encontramos entre los listados de producciones españolas una película dedicada al gran género de terror. Eso si, no tanto como en tiempos anteriores, cuando por ejemplo entre 1971 y 1973 se llegaron a rodar 80 películas de dicho género.
De esta forma la cantidad se puede establecer como superior a la cantidad global de producción en algunos años del cine español (1). Ante esto podemos afirmar que el cine de terror español existe claramente en dos vertientes, una la del público en general que va a los nuevos estrenos y compra los DVD de éxitos recientes como El Orfanato (2007, Juan Antonio Bayona) (2) o REC (2007, Jaume Balagueró / Paco Plaza) (3).
