 		Myssfitz you did a great job. That's a lot of information to compress and make understandable. I think you did a great job. I really like the second half that has ALL the sites listed in order of their appearence. I just organised my bookmarks for the StB pages yesterday. I wish I had waited till today. This would have made it so much easier to do.

 		Thank you Dashcat Very Happy

BTW. I went back and put a line between each of the SB groups in the second post (the one with just the pages in order). It makes it easier to see what page stops with what SB group.

I found the painting...

It is by Piero della Francesca
Resurrection


Not sure if this is of importance, but:

Quote:
Piero della Francesca was one of the most original men of the renaissance. Piero had two passions - art and geometry.

Piero was one of the greatest practitioners of linear perspective, and even wrote a book on perspective, De Prospectiva Pingendi (c.1474).

Piero was evidently familiar with Euclid's Optics, as well as the Elements, whose principles he refers to often. Theory is fine, but did Piero practice what he preached? According to Martin Kemp,

"The evidence of his paintings suggests that he did exercise an . . . extraordinary degree of meticulous, time-consuming, geometrical care over the perspectival projection of architectural forms. . ."

Hmmm... interesting.... Thanks Cem.
It does appear that most of the information coming from GW seems to be tied in to a mathematical orientation in some way, even the the mystical tradition based information.

 		Well I started searching for a tie in because of the geometrical lines overlaying the painting....sort of trying to get a head start on what might be asked for when there finally is <----more---->. Smile
