Ageless Journey of Ponce De Leon

For several years Ponce De Leon heard magical stories about the "Fountain of Youth." In March of 1513 he set out to find the mysterious water source. Alas, he never did find it, because, as we now know, it never existed.

Today Americans are still pursuing Ponce De Leone's desire to find eternal youth. Of course we are no longer looking for a fountain, instead we have turned to vitamins, minerals, hormones, self-help books, drugs, injections and surgery.

His Most Famous Painting - Assumption of the Virgin - Titian

"Assumption of the Virgin" is a precious and no less than a divine creation by Tiziano Vecellio, popularly known as Titian, one of the most versatile painters from Italy in the sixteenth century. The painting, "Assumption of the Virgin" is a colossal oil painting measuring 690 cm × 360 cm (270" × 140"), painted during 1516-18. It is presently placed in the Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari (commonly called Frari), a famous church at Venice, in the northern part of Italy. A 22' high altarpiece, the work is considered the biggest one in the entire city.
