Dean Cain stars in this family drama.
To fulfil his dream of running a ranch, Kent Walsh moves with his wife Teri and 14-year-old daughter Sarah to small-town Arizona. Struggling to make their dream come true and faced with a tough economy, the family's life changes further when they are joined by Kent's niece Summer Dean after her mother is arrested in New York.
Struggling to adapt to life outside of the city, the troubled teenager soon comes round to life on the ranch and finds a purpose in caring for the family's horses.
Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) proudly described his monumental
painting Prometheus Bound as first among "the flower of my stock."
This singular work demonstrates how Rubens engaged with and
responded to his predecessors Michelangelo and Titian, with whom he
shared an interest in depictions of physical torment. The Wrath of
the Gods offers an in-depth case study of the Flemish artist's
creative process and aesthetic, while also demonstrating why this
particular painting has appealed to viewers over time. Many
scholars have elaborated on Rubens's affinity for Titian, but his
connection to Michelangelo has received far less attention. This
study presents a new interpretation of Prometheus Bound, showing
how Rubens created parallels between the pagan hero Prometheus and
Michelangelo's Risen Christ from the Sistine Chapel's Last
Judgment. Christopher D. M. Atkins expands our understanding of
artistic transmission by elucidating how Rubens synthesized the
works he saw in Italy, Spain, and his native Antwerp, and how
Prometheus Bound in turn influenced Dutch, Flemish, and Italian
artists. By emulating Rubens's composition, these artists
circulated it throughout Europe, broadening its influence from his
day to ours. Published in association with the Philadelphia Museum

2013 is officially Frans Hals Year, marking exactly 100 years since
the Frans Hals Museum opened its doors to display the work of this
key Dutch artist of the seventeenth century. The most important
exhibition in this jubilee year is "Frans Hals: Eye to Eye with
Rembrandt, Rubens and Titian," in which key works by Hals are
presented alongside paintings by such famed colleagues as Titian,
Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Jordaens and Rubens. In this eponymous
publication, all the works in the exhibition are presented side by
side, enabling the reader to compare the masterpieces and see just
how the artists inspired one another. These unique comparisons and
juxtapositions of master painters lead to a far deeper and more
nuanced understanding of seventeenth-century painting and its tight
web of artistic connections. Famous painters, after all, often
produced their works in response to one another, with the aim of
proving their creative and technical mettle--while also aiming to
surpass (and perhaps even intimidate) their fellow artists. This
painterly swordsmanship spurred individual artists--and art as a
whole--to ever greater heights. A selection of distinguished
international specialists casts new light on Hals' virtuosity, his
central role in seventeenth-century culture and his artistic
relationship with his contemporaries in Antwerp (Rubens, Van Dyck)
and Amsterdam (Rembrandt).
