Featured Article: Antonio da Correggio
Antonio Allegri da Correggio (August 1489 – March 5, 1534), usually known as just Correggio, was an Italian Renaissance painter, the foremost painter of the Parma school of the High Italian Renaissance, who was responsible for some of the most vigorous and sensuous works of the sixteenth century. In his use of dynamic composition, illusionistic perspective and dramatic foreshortening, Correggio prefigured the Baroque art of the seventeenth century and the Rococo art of the eighteenth century.
Popular Article: Homicide
Homicide refers to the act of killing another human being. Generally, homicide includes murder (intentional killing) and manslaughter, as well as non-criminal killings, or "justifiable homicides." There are a number of justifications, including self-defense, execution of capital punishment, and killing enemy combatants during war, that may make homicide legally justifiable. More complex defenses include euthanasia ("mercy killing" or "assisted suicide" at another's request) and abortion (legal termination of the life of an unborn fetus).
