Johann Sebastian Bach (21 March 1685 O.S. or 31 mars N.S. – 28 July 1750 N.S.) was a prolific German composer and organist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, a control of harmonic and motivic organisation from the smallest to the largest scales, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France. He is regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. Revered for their intellectual depth and technical and artistic beauty, J.S. Bach's works include the Brandenburg concerti, the Goldberg Variations, the keyboard... Add to favourites (53 fans)Biography of René Descartes
René Descartes (March 31, 1596 – February 11, 1650), also known as Renatus Cartesius (latinized form), was a highly influential French philosopher, mathematician, scientist, and writer.

His influence in mathematics is also apparent, the Cartesian coordinate system being used in plane geometry and algebra is named after him, and he was one of the key figures in the Scientific Revolution. Descartes frequently contrasted his views with those of his predecessors. In the opening section of the Passions of the Soul, a treatise on the Early Modern version of what are now com...

Pope Benedict XIV (March 31, 1675 – May 3, 1758), born Prospero Lorenzo Lambertini, was Pope from August 17, 1740 to 3 May 1758. He was born into a noble family of Bologna, which was at that time the second largest city in the Papal States. He was elected Pope in 1740.

His Papacy began in a time of great difficulties, chiefly caused by the disputes between Catholic rulers and the Papacy about governmental demands to nominate bishops rather than leaving the appointment to the Church.
