Trang 5before he was nineteen, he worked in the studio of Peter Paul Rubens for several years In Italy, Van Dyck studied the great Venetian masters and painted flattering portraits of gorgeous ladies and haughty nobles in gilded velvet robes with lace and pearls While he was sought after by the
aristocracy for his acclaimed loose brushwork, his engravings and etchings also evinced his
outstanding talent Upon his return to Antwerp in 1628, he was influenced by Rubens‟s interpretation of the artistic form and produced numerous religious paintings while holding an appointment as the court painter During his tenure, he proved that his use of color, his sensitive elegance, and his remarkable insight were unexcelled
His fame preceded him to England, where he was invited by King Charles I After years of faithful service, he was knighted in recognition of his achievements in painting countless portraits of the king, the queen, the royal children, and the titled nobility of England
However, Van Dyck‟s greatest piece is one of his religious works, a true masterpiece
displayed in the Antwerp gallery This group scene exhibits his artful polish in painting the
folds of fabric, the delicacy of human skin, landscape, and other externals, and puts him above other accomplished contemporary masters Although Charles paid Van Dyck a salary and granted him a pension, the painter‟s extravagant life-style and penchant for luxuries led him into debt, and he died without means

ACID DUST
“ Calcite- containing dust particles blow into the air and combine with nitric acid in polluted air from factories to form an entirely new particle – calcium nitrate , ” said Alexander Laskin, a senior research scientist at the Department of Energy‟s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington These nitrates have optical and chemical properties that are
completely different from those of the originally dry dust particles Due to this, climate models
need to be updated to reflect this chemistry Calcite dust is common in arid areas such as Israel, where scientists collected particles for analysis
Working from a mountaintop, the team collected dust that had blown in from the northern shores of Egypt, Sinai,and southern Israel The particles had combined with air containing pollutants that came from Cairo.They analyzed nearly 2,00 individual particles and observed the physical and chemical changes at the W.R Wiley Environmental Sciences Laboratory
A key change in the properties of the newly formed nitrate particles is that they begin to
absorb water and retain the moisture These wet particles can scatter and absorb presenting climate modelers, who need to know where the energy is going , a new wild card to
sunlight-deal with Companion studies of dust samples from the Sahara and the Saudi coast and loess from China show that the higher the calcium in the mineral , the more reactive they are in with nitric acid And once the particle is changed , it stays that way
“When dust storms kick up these particles and they enter polluted areas , the particles change ,” Laskin said “To what extent this is happening globally, as more of the world becomes industrialized , we don‟t know But now we have the laboratory and field evidence that shows it
is definitely happening The story is much more complicated than anybody thought ”
