Japanese Warrior Heritage

Japanese warrior ranks controlled all aspects of their country; from politics, military, and religion, to the arts and culture. The biggest impact was on the creation of military codes that established warfare tactics, revolutionizing advancements in weapons technology.
The most famous Japanese warriors from this time period are known as samurai (synonymous to the terms bushi and buke). Samurai, by definition, means both a professional soldier and one who devotes time to training and preparation for warfare. The legendary samurai belief in honor was essential to their code of conduct and is known as Bushido (“the way of the warrior”), this translates as a prevailing sense of personal responsibility, discipline, and self-reliance amongst Medieval warriors.
Samurai were not the usual military class, as they were also seen as professionals employed for their commendable martial skills. They had the most inspiring beginnings: they started as informal bands of soldiers with the goal to overthrow the imperial and aristocratic ruling elite . Eventually they themselves ascended into members of the respected elite.

 The story started when Kyoto aristocrats (kuge) residing at the cultural center of Japan were not interested in managing their extensive provincial private estates, called shoen, so they employed warriors to do it for them. This eventually led to warrior exposure to government power.
 And thus begins the long and very fascinating story of the three clans - the Fujiwara, the Taira, and the Minamoto. It was in 1185, when Minamoto no Yoritomo started the Warrior State during the Kamakura Period and became the most powerful figure in the land. The military government was led by a shogun, the commander in chief, with the assistance of warrior-lords called daimyos.

Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez (baptized June 6, 1599 – August 6, 1660) was a Spanish painter, the leading artist in the court of King Philip IV, and one of the most important painters of the Spanish Golden Age. He was an individualistic artist of the contemporary Baroque period. He began to paint in a precise tenebrist style, later developing a freer manner characterized by bold brushwork. In addition to numerous renditions of scenes of historical and cultural significance, he painted scores of portraits of the Spanish royal family and commoners, culminating in his masterpiece Las Meninas (1656).

THE DIANA A LA BICHE
The Diana of the hind, in the palace of the Louvre, may be
considered the counterpart to the Apollo Belvedere. The attitude
much resembles that of the Apollo, the sizes correspond and also
the style of execution. It is a work of the highest order,
though by no means equal to the Apollo. The attitude is that of
hurried and eager motion, the face that of a huntress in the
excitement of the chase. The left hand is extended over the
forehead of the Hind which runs by her side, the right arm
reaches backward over the shoulder to draw an arrow from the
quiver.---Thomas Bulfinch: The Age of Fable
