From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well, I have little to say about myself except that I am Canadian, live in Mississauga (represent!), am a non-denominational Christian, and am of Ukrainian birth. Huh, I DO have something to say about myself.

As you can see, I have userboxes, but they're in TERRIBLE condition. If you can help me sort them out (into something of a pattern), please, please do.

Wikipedia and Me

[edit]

You won't see me writing articles (a big reason is that I have no idea how to cite my sources) much, but I chip away at the giant stone of Wikipedia with minor edits. Be it a missing link or a link too many, a spelling mistake, or any other small mishap, I'll fix it. Also, I'll add small tidbits of information here and there (nothing I'll have to cite though). I believe the term is...gnome? Sure, I'm no barnstar candidate (unless there's a barnstar for prolific gnomes of Wikipedia), but I like to know that I help out at least a little.

The Abduction of Europa
The Abduction of Europa is a 1632 oil-on-panel painting by Rembrandt. One of his rare mythological works, it was inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, part of which tells the tale of Zeus's seduction and capture of Europa. The painting shows a coastal scene with Europa being carried away in rough waters by Zeus in the form of a bull while her friends remain on shore with expressions of horror. The use of an ancient myth to impart a contemporary thought and his portrayal of the scene using the High Baroque style are two strong aspects of the work. It was also influenced by Titian's painting of the same subject 70 years earlier, although there are significant differences; Rembrandt's painting is less violent in nature than Titian's. The Abduction of Europa is now in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum in New York City.Painting credit: Rembrandt
