I am a software developer and current BIS Multimedia Honours student from South Africa.
I started editing on Wikipedia in 2017 as part of an assignment in my Information Science module.
I hope to contribute to Wikipedia and make it a better encyclopedia overall.
I'm generally interest in anything technology related, exciting new software for web and mobile development and computer games.
I used to be a gamer, especially for RPG and FPS games, however with working and studying full time I just don't have the free time to play games that frequently anymore. My most favorite games of all time includes Borderlands, Mass Effect, Metro 2033 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I also have a annual tradition to play World of Warcraft over December.
For exercise I like to skateboard at our local city skate park, it helps me to think and enjoy the outside after a long day of work at the office. Music also plays an important role in my life, as I started playing guitar at a young age. My most favorite genres of music includes different types of rock music like Classic Rock, Psychedelic rock, Space rock and Alternative rock. I also occasionally listen to Soundtrack Music.
Portrait of a Man with a Blue Chaperon is a very small oil-on-panel portrait of an unidentified man attributed to the Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck. The painting was commissioned and completed sometime around 1430. It contains a number of elements typical of van Eyck's secular portraits, including a slightly oversized head, a dark and flat background, forensic attention to the small details and textures of the man's face, and illusionistic devices. It had long been thought that the ring held in the man's right hand was meant as an indication of his profession as a jeweler or goldsmith and so the painting was long titled on variants of such. More recently, the ring is interpreted as an emblem of betrothal and the titles given by various art historians and publications since are usually more descriptive of the colour or form of the headdress.
The painting was attributed to van Eyck in the late 19th century, but this was repeatedly challenged by some art historians until a 1991 cleaning when infrared photography revealed an underdrawing and methods of handling of oil that were unmistakably van Eyck's. Prior to 1948, the panel belonged to the Brukenthal National Museum in Sibiu, Romania. That year, the new Communist regime seized the panel, along with eighteen others it considered the museum's most valuable holdings, and gave it to the National Museum of Art of Romania in Bucharest. At the end of 2006, in time for Sibiu's stint as European Capital of Culture, the works were returned to the Brukenthal Museum.Painting credit: Jan van Eyck
