Zwingli formed an alliance of Reformed cantons which divided the Confederation along religious lines. The Reformation spread to other parts of the Swiss Confederation, but several cantons resisted, preferring to remain Catholic.
Zwingli also clashed with the radical wing of the Reformation, the Anabaptists, which resulted in their persecution. In 1525, Zwingli introduced a new communion liturgy to replace the Mass. In his publications, he noted corruption in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, promoted clerical marriage, and attacked the use of images in places of worship. In his first public controversy in 1522, he attacked the custom of fasting during Lent. Huldrych Zwingli was a leader of the Reformation in Switzerland.

The Third of May 1808 has inspired a number of other major paintings, including a series by Édouard Manet, and Pablo Picasso's Massacre in Korea and his masterpiece Guernica.
According to the art historian Kenneth Clark, The Third of May 1808 is "the first great picture which can be called revolutionary in every sense of the word, in style, in subject, and in intention". Diverging from the traditions of Christian art and traditional depictions of war, it has no distinct precedent, and is acknowledged as one of the first paintings of the modern era. Although it draws on many sources in high and popular art, The Third of May 1808 marks a clear break from convention. The painting's content, presentation, and emotional force secure its status as a groundbreaking, archetypal image of the horrors of war. Goya sought to commemorate Spanish resistance to Napoleon's armies during the occupation of 1808. Along with its companion piece of the same size, The Second of May 1808 (or The Charge of the Mamelukes), it was commissioned by the provisional government of Spain at Goya's suggestion. The Third of May 1808 is a painting completed in 1814 by the Spanish master Francisco Goya, now in the Museo del Prado, Madrid.

Apart from making films, he was a fiction writer, publisher, illustrator, graphic designer and film critic. Ray worked on an array of tasks, including scripting, casting, scoring, cinematography, art direction, editing and designing his own credit titles and publicity material. Along with Aparajito and Apur Sansar, the film forms the Apu trilogy. Ray's first film, Pather Panchali, won eleven international prizes, including Best Human Document at Cannes film festival. Ray directed thirty-seven films, including feature films, documentaries and shorts. Starting his career as a commercial artist, Ray was drawn into filmmaking after meeting French filmmaker Jean Renoir and viewing the Italian neorealist film Bicycle Thieves during a visit to London. Born in the city of Calcutta into a Bengali family prominent in the world of arts and letters, Ray studied at Presidency College and at the Visva-Bharati University. He is regarded as one of the greatest auteurs of 20th century cinema. Satyajit Ray was a Bengali Indian filmmaker.

The expedition did not, however, make a serious attempt on the South Pole, its principal southern journey reaching a Furthest South at 82☁7'S. In the field of geographical exploration, achievements included the discoveries of King Edward VII Land, and the Polar Plateau via the western mountains route. There were important geological and zoological discoveries, including those of the snow-free McMurdo Dry Valleys and the Cape Crozier Emperor Penguin colony. Its scientific results covered extensive ground in biology, zoology, geology, meteorology and magnetism. It launched the Antarctic careers of many who would become leading figures in the Heroic Age of Antarctic exploration including Robert Falcon Scott who led the expedition, Ernest Shackleton, Edward Wilson, Frank Wild, Tom Crean and William Lashly. Organised on a large scale under a joint committee of the Royal Society and the Royal Geographical Society, the new expedition aimed to carry out scientific research and geographical exploration in what was then largely an untouched continent. The Discovery Expedition of 1901–1904 was the first official British exploration of the Antarctic regions since James Clark Ross's voyage sixty years earlier.
