Fig. 2.. August Wilhelm von Hofmajm (181S 1892), who first prepared formaldehyde from methanol, is shown above in a portrait painted by Angeli in February, 1890. Hofmann s prwaration clearly established both the structure and identity of formaldehyde as the first member of the aldehyde group.

The use of the various tempera and of wax has been identified on objects dating back to ancient Egypt. The Eayum mummy portraits are beautiful examples of encaustic painting, ie, using molten wax as medium. A rather special variation was the technique used by the Romans for wall paintings. In these, the medium, referred to by Pliny as Punic wax, probably consisted of partially saponified wax. In Europe, wax ceased to be used by the ninth century. 

The fascinating experience with 1000-year-old mortar, in which the protein concentration was extremely low, has shown that by using this method it is possible to work in fields where other methods fail. In the case of easel paintings, small samples are usually available the advantage of the method described here also lies in the true microdestructive character. Moreover, as most samples, mainly in the case of paintings, often contain more than one proteinaceous binder (see e.g. E. Munch Portrait of Friedrich Nietzsche , Section 6.4.3), it is very encouraging that the PMM allows the simultaneous determination of at least two of them.

A continuous flow of data falls from the sky like a fountain, into the open mouths of satellites like FUSE, Chandra and XMM. An enigmatic portrait of cosmic violence is being painted in our understanding of nature, peopled by supernovas, neutron stars, black holes and stellar corpses, telling of death and the life beyond it. For the panchromatic astronomy of the invisible, the sky is literally exploding upon our understanding.

Dou virtually invented the niche picture, and he produced many of them. Sometimes a human figure leans out from a window frame or some object is extended outward as an illusion or trompe I oeil. Hollander writes Whether the niche pictures are allegorical self-portraits or kitchen scenes, their essential theme is always painting itself. He exploits the organization of space, along with the properties of trompe I oeil and the restrictions of the niche format, to explore and celebrate the painter s craft (50). 

Harrison, Barbara Grizzuti. Cease Fire. Mother Jones, vol. 22, March-April 1997, pp. 32ff. Interviews Tanya Metaksa, the NRA s chief lobbyist. Harrison paints a vivid and not entirely unsympathetic portrait as Metaksa recounts her life and the personal experiences that shaped her attitude toward the right of self-defense and gun ownership. 

We declare, for instance, that a portrait must not be like the sitter.. .. To paint a human figure, you must not paint it, you must render the whole of its surrounding [aura-like] atmosphere. Space no longer exists. Who can still believe in the opacity of bodies, since our sharpened and multiplied sensitiveness has already penetrated the obscure manifestations of the medium Why should we forget in our creations the doubled power of our sight, capable of giving results analogous to those of the X-rays ...
