The Social Portrayal Of Dogs In Art At Mountain Oaks Manor

 Social portrayals of dogs in art have gotten more detailed as the connection between humans and dogs has evolved. For the most part, dogs represent confidence and devotion. A dog, when remembered for a metaphorical print or painting, depicts the quality of loyalty embodied. As hunting scenes became popular in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, a pack of chasing dogs set at the feet of two trackers represented dutifulness and devotion. As times and the role of dogs changed, they came to represent dependability, reliability, and love.

Chasing scenes address basic themes in archaic and Renaissance art. They embodied a game selected by the nobility, and chasing represents a fundamental piece of court manners. Portraits of individuals with chasing dogs, birds of prey, or hawks would signify status. Hunters utilized various dog breeds in various chases, and they remained so well known during the Middle Ages, that dogs chased wild bears out of England. To this very day, the English hunting season is a cherished part of the English aristocratic existence.

As dogs became more obedient, they arose as man’s best friend and appeared regularly painted sitting on their master’s lap. All through craftsmanship history, primarily in Western workmanship, there is a mind-boggling presence of dogs as superficial points of interest and pets in paintings. Families invited dogs into their homes and they became treasured components of the family. Dogs turned out to be profoundly respected by the privileged societies, who utilized them for hunting. Hunting dogs came to be by and large associated with the privileged.
A great piece of art depicting the loyalty and devotion of dogs can be found hanging in a tea room at Mountain Oaks Manor. “Evening” encompasses an accurate representation of dogs’ unwavering dedication and reliability.  In this painting,  the group of dogs is addressed as obediently following their lords, on their way to the English chase. To see this beautiful piece of art and many, many others, please visit the second floor of the Mountain Oaks Manor at 9508 Church St. in Ooltewah, TN, or find out more about the tea room online at mountainoaksmanor.com.

The Advantages of Dry Cleaning Versus Traditional Washing Machines

Laundering and dry cleaning are both processes designed to clean clothes. Laundering, the more traditional cleaning practice, is a water-based cleaning process that usually utilizes a washer/dryer combination with soap and/or detergent. In contrast, dry cleaning does not utilize water but instead employs a comprehensive process that cleans the clothing much more effectively. While both processes have their purposes, dry cleaning is overall much better for maintaining the structural integrity of clothes, especially the delicate ones. While water is not the main cleansing agent in dry cleaning, the process does involve the use of liquids for stain and soil removal. Much like traditional laundering, dry cleaning employs a specific machine in which the garments are placed for cleaning. After being put in the machine, the machine is started and gently rotates the clothes in the basket while a steady stream of clean solvent is pumped into the system. Simultaneously, the dirty solvent is p...

Land Surveying: Various Aspects of the World's Second Oldest Profession

Image
Land surveying is defined as a method of scientifically and/or legally determining the location of points on the earth’s surface. It also includes establishing the distance between those points and the angles created by them. Often referred to as the world’s second-oldest profession, land surveying integrates elements of engineering, geometry, law, math, and physics. Legally, land surveying determines boundaries. Furthermore, it establishes where property lines begin and where they end. The accuracy of land boundaries depends on a society’s particular regard for the state, county, city, and private property line borders.  (1)   Modern-day land surveyors use Global Positioning Systems (GPS) for accurate point positioning. GPS works through satellites that send signals to receivers kept on surveyors’ tripods. The data is then downloaded into computer software, allowing the surveyor to know the exact position of a point within the time span of a few minutes.  (2) Th...

The Federal Government, the Partial Government Shutdown, and the Ordinary Citizen Would Daily Life Really Change if The Federal Government, As We Know It, Disappeared? By Katherine Fry, CEO/President Mediafy Communications Group Years ago, while a student in college, I learned about the various Antitrust Acts that redefined the power of the Federal Government. I also learned that, originally, the Federal Government had three strictly defined purposes. A united military A united currency The elimination of tariffs between the states However, the rise of commerce led to to the rise of monopolies, arguably (1) It is the compilation of these three Acts that led to the formation of the Federal Government as we know it today. While as a Feminist, I appreciate the rules and regulations that protect women and other minorities in the workplace, as a business owner I feel the burden of taxation that hits my business every other week from the Federal Government. As a citizen,...
