She was taken into the house of a nobleman and treated as an adopted child, she was cared for and educated in that house. The rich man considered her worthy to be married to his son; paying no attention to her poverty and lowly birth.
Though the reactions to the marriage were fierce, her step father would say "I am pleased with whatever my holy father has done for me." Since he raised her and knew her to be of great value and beauty, his first considerations were not riches and noble birth, but virtue which is attractive to God.
Fitz Hugh Lane (1804-1865) was an American marine painter whose works express the transition from the narrative to the highly personal and poetic style associated with luminism.
Fitz Hugh Lane was born in Gloucester, Mass., on Dec. 19, 1804. As a youth, he sketched the Massachusetts coastline around Cape Ann. In the mid-1830s his talents came to the attention of the eminent lithographer William Pendleton, who invited Lane to become an apprentice in his Boston firm.
Pendleton's shop provided Lane with his only formal training in art. During this time he saw exhibitions of 17th-century Dutch art at the Boston Athenaeum, as well as the city and harbor views. He was fascinated by the myriad activities along the harbor front and on the water.
In the summer of 1848 Lane made his first cruise along the Maine coast. Thereafter, he returned almost annually to explore the coast of Penobscot and Blue Hill bays and Mount Desert Island. Lane now began to paint quiet, evocative viewsr. He applied his paint more thinly and used a glazing technique to create effects of serenity and stillness. Occasionally a contemplative figure appears, to reinforce the sense of man's spiritual harmony with nature.
Lane's life and art were remarkably self-contained, although his light-filled canvases forecast the direction of American landscape painting in subsequent decades. He remained actively at work up to the time of his death on Aug. 13, 1865. More on Fitz Hugh Lane
Then, by divine providence, a hieromonk landed on the island. The ship that carried him was forced at one point, because of the winds, to stop at the uninhabited island of the Adriatic. The hieromonk took advantage of this forced docking of the ship to walk around the island.
During the war, she Tatyana worked as an educator. Then for the first time she composed an interesting story, which the children really liked. This subsequently led her to enroll in the Institute of Cinematography at the Faculty of Art. After training, she became a famous fairy tale writer.
Tatyana Alexandrova was also an artist. She often drew children, but so that they sat quietly and did not move, she told entertaining stories and fairy tales that the children listened with pleasure.
She died on December 23, 1983 from a severe illness. More on Tatyana Alexandrova
From this pious priest she also asked the following: "I ask this also of your holiness: that you would bring a tunic for my son to put on after holy baptism, and also that you not tell anybody about me."
The hieromonk went to the ship to prepare for the Mystery of Baptism and Holy Communion without telling anyone anything. She waited for him and in turn led him to the place where her son was found. She asked her son to appear before the priest of saying: "Come out, child, and reverence the one who has come to illumine you." Her son obeyed.
He baptised her son and named him John. Anna lived her ascetic life in the fifth century, and died peacefully." More on Saint Anna and her son
