During this period he painted the full-length portrait of Madame van Beresteyn Louvreand a full-length portrait of Willem van Heythuysen leaning on a sword. Both these pictures are equalled by the other Banquet of the Officers of the Arquebusiers of St George with different portraits and the Banquet of the Officers of the Cloveniers or Arquebusiers of St Andrew of and an Assembly of the Officers of the Arquebusiers of St Andrew of A similar painting, with the date ofsuggests some study of Rembrandt masterpieces, and a similar influence is apparent in a picture of representing the Regents of the Company of St Elizabeth, and in the portrait of Maria Voogt at Amsterdam.

From till he painted many double portraits of married couples, on separate panels, the man on the left panel, his wife at his right. His style changed throughout his life. Paintings of vivid color were gradually replaced by pieces where one color dominated. After he showed a tendency to restrict the gamut of his palette, and to suggest color rather than express it.

Later in his life darker tones, even with much black, took over. His brush strokes became looser in later years, fine detail becoming less important than the overall impression. Where his earlier pieces radiated gaiety and liveliness, his later portraits emphasized the stature and dignity of the people portrayed. His restricted palette is particularly noticeable in his flesh tints, which from year to year became more grey, until finally the shadows were painted in almost absolute black, as in the Tymane Oosdorp.

As this tendency coincides with the period of his poverty, some historians have suggested that a reason for his predilection for black and white pigment was the low price of these colors as compared with the costly lakes and carmines. As a portrait painter Hals had scarcely the psychological insight of a Rembrandt or Velazquez, though in a few works, like the Admiral de Ruyter, the Jacob Olycan, and the Albert van der Meer paintings, he reveals a searching analysis of character which has little in common with the instantaneous expression of his so-called character portraits.

In these, he generally sets upon the canvas the fleeting aspect of the various stages of merriment, from the subtle, half ironic smile that quivers round the lips of the curiously misnamed Laughing Cavalier to the imbecile grin of the Malle Babbe. To this group of pictures belong Baron Gustav Rothschilds Jester, the Bohemienne and the Fisher Boy, whilst the Portrait of the Artist fran biography his Second Wife, and the somewhat confused group of the Beresteyn Family at the Louvre show a similar tendency.

Far less scattered in arrangement than this Beresteyn group, and in every respect one of the most masterly of Hals' achievements is the group called The Painter and his Family, which was almost unknown until it appeared at the winter exhibition at the Royal Academy in Many of Hals' works have disappeared, but it is not known how many. According to the most authoritative present day catalogue, compiled by Seymour Slive in Slive's last great Hals exhibition catalogue followed inanother paintings can be ascribed to Hals.

Das Gesamtwerk It is not known whether Hals ever painted landscapes, still lifes or narrative pieces, but it is unlikely. Many artists in the 17th century in Holland opted to specialise, and Hals also appears to have been a pure portrait specialist.

German-language literature. The answer is that he wanted to publish them but publishers were not interested. Publishers then, as now, want to know that the material they are publishing is of high quality, and Descartes had made it known that he considered Fermat 's contributions to be of little value. May we suggest that this was not poor judgement on the part of Descartesrather it was because Descartes was trying to push the thesis that only by using his 'method' could discoveries such as Cartesian geometry be made so he played down Fermat 's work.

Continuing his travels, van Schooten left Paris and went to London where he stayed until discussing mathematics with leading mathematicians there, finally visiting Ireland before returning to Leiden. He continued to correspond with the mathematicians that he had met on his travels after his return. Unfortunately this correspondence is now lost.

In van Schooten became assistant to his father and when his father died two years later he was appointed to his father's chair. At this stage van Schooten was not married but lived with a housekeeper Margaritgen Wijnants from Meppen. By van Schooten and his housekeeper had a common fran biography, and they were formally married on 19 July There is no record that they had any children.

Van Schooten was one of the main people to promote the spread of Cartesian geometry and this is a more important contribution than the results of his own researches. It is claimed that Descarteswho went to Stockholm inopposed this project by van Schooten. However Dirk Struik writes [ 4 ] :- Descartes lived in the Dutch Republic from tothe period of his greatest productivity.

Living a retired bachelor's life, he made his ideas known through highly advanced books and correspondence with his peers. The triumph of Cartesian ideas in mathematics, the creation of a Cartesian school of thought, both in Holland and to a certain extent also abroad, is in no small degree due to the Leiden professor Frans van Schooten.

Van Schooten established a vigorous research fran biography in Leiden which included his private pupils Christiaan HuygensHenrik van Heuraet and Johannes Huddeand this school was one of the main reasons for the rapid development of Cartesian geometry in the mid 17 th century. It had been on Descartes ' recommendation that van Schooten replaced Jan Stampioen as tutor to Huygens and his fran biography.

The teacher and his extremely talented pupil soon became good friends. After his students had left Leiden, van Schooten, HuygensHudde and van Heuraet corresponded regarding the properties of curves and other topics at the forefront of research at the time. Much of Kafka's personal struggles, in romance and other relationships, came, he believed, in part from his complicated relationship with his father.

In his literature, Kafka's characters were often coming up against an overbearing power of some kind, one that could easily break the will of men and destroy their sense of self-worth. Kafka seems to have derived much of his value directly from to his family, in particular his father. For much of his adult life, he lived within close proximity to his parents.

German was his first language. In fact, despite his Czech background and Jewish roots, Kafka's identity favored German culture. Still, even while Kafka earned the respect of his teachers, he chafed under their control and the school's control of his life. After high school Kafka enrolled at the Charles Ferdinand University of Prague, where intended to study chemistry but after just two weeks switched to law.

The change pleased his father, and also gave Kafka the time to take classes in art and literature. In Kafka completed his law degree and embarked on a year of unpaid work as a law clerk. After completing his apprenticeship, Kafka found work with an Italian insurance agency in late It was a terrible fit from the start, with Kafka forced to work a tiring schedule that left little time for his writing.

He lasted at the agency a little less than a year. After turning in his resignation he quickly found a new job with the Workers' Accident Insurance Institute for the Kingdom of Bohemia. As much as any work could, the job and his employers suited Kafka, who worked hard and became his boss's right-hand man. Kafka remained with the company untilwhen a bout with tuberculosis forced him to take a sick leave and to eventually retire in At work Kafka was a popular employee, easy to socialize with and seen as somebody with a good sense of humor.

But his personal life still raged with complications. His inhibitions and insecurities plagued his relationships. Twice he was engaged to marry his girlfriend, Felice Bauer, before the two finally went their separate ways in
