#particularly from 1533 onwards

Out of all of the people who had orchestrated Anne's downfall, which of them disliked her the most? I'm going with Cromwell.

I mean...to have been participants in this, it's likely they all disliked her, although arguably some of them (Carew, Bryan) hadn't seemed to initially do so, Bryan esp. being the one that seems to have had a good working relationships with her through 1530, at the least...

Chapuys seems to imply it's Carew and Montague leading the faction, at least earliest on. Arguably this must have changed over time, as Edward Seymour is present in an extremely important and politically significant meeting (the attempted Imperial rapprochement of April 1536, which he attended , between Cromwell, HVIII, and Chapuys), and they're not. Although...what reason, arguably, did the Seymours have for especially 'disliking' Anne and/or the Boleyns? Their daughters were promoted to her household. They might have had simmering resentment that another 'minor' noble family had risen so high and secured so much power and influence, but that doesn't really set them apart from many others than likely felt the same way, and it's not quite strong enough of a motivation for...such a conspiracy? If that makes sense.

Cromwell is the only one of these that she's reported as having said she'd "like to see his head off" though, so...yeah, probably him.

Talal: Bronze - Part C: Arts Inspiration

My Arts Inspiration is:

Michelangelo  

Why they inspire me:

His passion for drawing inspires me. He drew a masterpiece in a chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the Pope.

He painted the fresco (mural) in the Sistine Chapel. Frescos are pieces of painted art that decorate the interior. This work below is called The Last Judgment .

It inspires me because of how impressive the painting is. He spent seven years drawing and painting this (1536–1541). The whole of the inside of the chapel was painted. It is also a very detailed and beautiful piece of art, and you can clearly see all of the features of each individual person. This is the most wonderful piece of art I have ever seen. 

He painted the Sistine Chapel lying down on his back. Because of this, his eyes were affected by the paint dripping on them. Michelangelo's dedication has inspired me to work hard and dedicate myself to something. If one man can paint the entire chapel, this makes me think of the things that I am capable of doing and inspires me to work hard to create something beautiful.  

This is The Last Judgment (1541)

What they make and do and how:

Michaelangelo worked in different art-forms such as sculpture, painting and architecture. 

He was particularly inspired by the human form, and religion. With his sculpture he first made sketches to prepare his works, then he made small scale wax models - which he dipped into hot water to sculpt. After this he drew onto the marble and roughly cut it to size, then he made fine adjustments with his chisel. Finally, he polished his status to make them look superb.

He also made ‘Frescos’ which are murals he painted on walls and cellings.

What I like about their work:

i like his imagination and his way of sculpture. His work makes me think about how patient and talented he must have been to draw every single person’s features so perfectly. 

What I have found out about their career / technique:

Michelangelo was born 6 March 1475 and died on 18 February 1564.

As he didn’t like going to school, between 1488–1492 he did apprenticeships with other artists such as Ghirlandaio to develop his career and learn the skills to become an artist.

Michelangelo worked for a time with the sculptor Bertoldo di Giovanni to gain skills.

From that point onwards, he was commissioned to do projects in Rome, Bologna, and Florence.

Before the age of thirty, he created two famous sculptures, the Pietà and David.  

He did the following paintings /drawings at these dates: 

-The Conversion of Saul (1545)

-The Dream of Human Life - (1533)

Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:

Micheiangelo 

A number of Michelangelo's works of painting, sculpture and architecture rank among the most famous in existence.[1] His output in these fields was prodigious; given the sheer volume of surviving correspondence, sketches and reminiscences, he is the best-documented artist of the 16th century. He sculpted two of his best-known works, the Pietà and David, before the age of thirty. Despite holding a low opinion of painting, he also created two of the most influential frescoes in the history of Western art: the scenes from Genesis on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, and The Last Judgment on its altar wall. His design of the Laurentian Library pioneered Mannerist architecture.[2]At the age of 74, he succeeded Antonio da Sangallo the Younger as the architect of St. Peter's Basilica. He transformed the plan so that the western end was finished to his design, as was the dome, with some modification, after his death.

What do other people think about their work:

Michaelangelo is known to be one of the best artists ever and he inspired many of artists.

However people didn’t like his paintings because it showed muscular bodies which was considered appropriate. This style of painting un-natural figures  called ‘Mannerism’.

His contemporaries called him ‘Il Divino’ ("the divine one"), and admired his ability to create with fear and wonder.

Opinion: Superpower India treats LGBTs as per discriminatory colonial laws

8th January 2018 was the day when the Supreme Court of India, in the case of Navtej Singh Johar vs Union of India, rekindled the hopes in the minds of the members of LGBT community who, for long, had been considered criminals in the statute book and was seen as outcast in the eyes of many. This was the day when it was decided by the Apex Court to reconsider it's 2013 decision, whereby, Section 377 of the IPC was reinstated in the statute while setting aside the judgment of Delhi High Court in the Naz Foundation Case.

  As a brief overview, Section 377 also criminalises the sexual relationship between two consenting adults which is against the order of nature. The provision became a part of the Indian legal system at the time of introduction of the Indian Penal Code in 1860 when India was still a colony of the British.

  While debating upon this issue, it becomes abundantly clear that the primary thrust of the supporters of homophobic regulations rests upon the abstract principles, such as public morality and order of nature. A deeper analysis, thereof, would reveal that India is, in fact, labouring under the weight of someone else’s misjudgment.

  Pre-colonial India never recognised any discrimination based on someone’s sexual inclination, let alone criminalising the same, and our ancient scriptures and sculptures are a testimony to the fact that homosexuality was an accepted facet of our culture. 

  On the contrary, the western world, particularly the United Kingdom, which laid the foundation of the modern Indian legal façade, was averse to homosexuality owing to both social and religious considerations.

  As the Delhi High Court recounted in its judgment, the earliest records of homosexuality as a crime in the English common law were chronicled as early as 1290. Subsequently, under the Buggery Act of 1533, homosexuality came to be penalised by hanging. By mid-1800’s, the death penalty on homosexuality was abolished but it still remained a crime, ‘not to be mentioned by Christians’.

  At the time the Indian Penal Code was enacted in 1860, India was still a colony of the British and it was, actually, the English morality on the subject which came to be enforced upon the Indian society. Even after 70 years of independence, we still consider ourselves shackled in the Victorian mindset.

  Order of nature is another argument that is advanced to defame homosexuality on every forum. In extending the same order of nature argument, we can say, members of LGBT community are born different and, for them, that is their respective order or nature.

Unfortunately, in the world of humans, laws of nature no more hold good and it is only the likings and dislikings of a select few that become the touchstone for the remainder. In the wisdom of our legislature, which, at times, gets claustrophobic, sexual intercourse is meant only for the purpose of procreation and nothing else. This sentiment is reflected in the very language of the section when it speaks about carnal intercourse against the order of nature. 

  However, the Supreme Court seems to be opening up to the wider connotation of this concept. In Navtej Singh Johar case, it was observed that order of nature is not a constant phenomenon. Social morality also changes from age to age. The law copes with life and, accordingly, change takes place. Morality which public perceives, the Constitution may not conceive of.

  Indian lawmakers, on the other hand, have failed to come to terms with the positive aspects of their own ancient culture and, even now, are consistently digging their heels against the legal developments across the world which have been introduced to meet the genuine demands of society.

  In the light of above, it would be worthwhile to analyse as to what is the stand towards homosexuality in the United Kingdom now. While India continues to carry the burden of a negative perception and the corresponding law which was enforced upon her by her conqueror, it has already become redundant in UK. Interestingly, United Kingdom had decriminalised homosexuality in 1967 onwards and, in 2014, gay marriages also became legal in England, Wales and Scotland.

  This head-in-the-sand attitude of the Indian system is not new and was witnessed in the past too when age-old and fossilised arguments were advanced in order to scuttle some revolutionary developments at the hands of Courts. 

  It is high time that India begins to drive away from age-old legislations which snatch the basic fundamental rights of citizens. It is possible only when we let the realities of the time sink in and open up to changes required to deal with them. Hopefully, the Supreme Court would, finally, open the doors of acceptance to LGBT community and confer upon them their right to live with dignity.
