PROBLEM: This work is thought to have been commissioned to replace a lost work on a similar topic by Lorenzo Di Medici. Some of the flora depicted in this work include cattails in the lower left corner and pink flowers falling down next to the central figure. (*) Horae waits behind the title figure and throws a pink cloth over her, while another figure, Zephyr, blows wind behind her to propel her towards shore. For 10 points, identify this work in which the title goddess stands upon a shell in the ocean, a painting by Sandro Botticelli.

SOLUTION: Fine Arts

PROBLEM: The differential of this quantity, which is given in general by minus Boltzmanns constant times the thermodynamic temperature times the natural logarithm of the partition function, is non-positive for isothermal, isometric processes, so it is minimized for equilibria in constant-temperature, constant-volume systems. It gives the available useful energy from a closed system, so it is usually symbolized A from the German for work. The p-V Legendre transform of a similar quantity named for Gibbs, it is given by the internal energy minus the absolute temperature times the entropy. For 10 points, name this thermochemical quantity, a thermodynamic potential named for a German physicist.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: A toddler holds blocks and a toy horse has a red wagon attached to it in this artist's Baby at Play. A chaperone sits and watches as William Rush copies a nude model in a painting by this man. Three men lean to counter the wind in this man's painting of sailboats racing in a river. Weda Cook sings an excerpt from Mendelssohn's Elijah in his The Concert Singer. This man created a "motion study" in which a nude pole vaulter is depicted at multiple positions in his jump. He depicted the title friend rowing in the Schuylkill River in his Max Schmitt in a Single Scull. For 10 points, name this artist that depicted anatomy lectures at Jefferson Hospital in his paintings The Agnew Clinic and The Gross Clinic.
