This year marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy , the 35th President of the United States, who, despite his short reign, left a deep mark on American history. In Washington, the museum has an exhibition that tells about the life of John F. A significant part of the exposition consists of photographs taken by Kennedy 's personal photographer Jacques Lowe .
“The negatives disappeared during the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Thanks to new technologies, it became possible to restore the photographs, which made it possible to open this exhibition.” Many of the exhibits were on display for the first time, notably the personal effects of Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, and the homemade movie camera that Zapruder accidentally filmed the Kennedy assassination.
The 35th President of the United States of America is a rather mysterious hero who managed to deeply impress his contemporaries.
Beauty in the Middle Ages
This is a special period. At this time, women with chicken thinness, deathly pallor, which was caused by foot pilgrimages, were considered beautiful ladies. Also, for the sake of beauty, women picked up hair on their foreheads and temples, so that it would give a spiritual look.
If you look at medieval art, then high-ranking ladies there completely lack breasts. To say she doesn't exist is to say nothing. The chest was considered a kind of shapeless part of the body, which emphasizes the depravity and licentiousness of the virgin. Therefore, only servants and ordinary people allowed to make the chest visible.
No makeup, no hygiene. For example, Isabella of Castile did not bathe at all for 25 years.
This nightmare ended in the Renaissance.
