I just really don't like this whole art phase before they figured out how perspective works. It's all flat in a weird isometric way. The composition looks like it was done on graph paper -- so rigidly stiff. All the focus should be on the central character, but your eye is bombarded by gobs of meaningless detail.

This is a masterpiece of early Renaissance mathematical or linear perspective. It is trompe l'oeil. The composition is designed where all orthogonals converge at the base of the Cross, which is average eye-level back in the day. It illustrates the Christian metaphor of "coming to the foot of the Cross" for Salvation.

Someone already asked about the Holy Ghost.
I guess the girl with the dishpan on her head is Mary, because Father and Son have dishpan halos. I really hate this kind of art. It's not art for art's sake, it's a drawing so that a priest can tell a story to illiterates. The only reason to like it is if you like Jesus you can say well it's a drawing of Jesus and I like Jesus. Posted by: Bandersnatch at September 03, 2019 09:45 AM (wzVKm) 38

I was surprised by the artist's ability to capture depth and perspective and detail in such an early painting. I suspect the colors were much more vibrant when first painted. The skill of the work, the symbols (most of which I'm probably missing), and the religious message must have made this a powerful painting. Also, the expressions are not as wooden as many I've seen from that general period. How sad the artist died in his mid-twenties.

Time for this weekly repost:
Predictions for someone to google and point to and say what do YOU know anyway: Won't make it to Iowa: Marianne Williamson (ultimate vanity candidacy, she won't be able to qualify for the ballot) Wayne Messam (Who? Exactly) Tulsi Gabbard (she's burned too many bridges) Drops after Iowa: John Delaney (self funded vanity) Andrew Yang (self funded vanity) Julian Castro (old, old news) Amy Klobuchar (last finisher for the women) Kirsten Gillibrand (next-to-last finisher for the women) Seth Moulton (maybe - he might not get to Iowa, candidacy doesn't have any reason for being. Against the Iraq War? So was/is Trump.) Eric Swalwell (candidacy is to troll Trump - a costly way to do it) Jay Inslee Drops after NH: John Hickenlooper (honestly I just needed to put someone here) Drops after SC: Beto O'Rourke (he can fund himself past a poor showing in Iowa, and the big dropout after Iowa will make him look like a mover until he gets to SC) Drops after Super Tuesday: Elizabeth Warren (nobody really likes her anyway - Super Tuesday will demonstrate that definitively) Cory Booker (he will already be reeling from going nowhere with the black vote in SC) That will leave the field with this: Joe Biden Pete Buttigieg Bernie Sanders Kamala Harris Bernie will run to the convention regardless of where he is. But he is already done. Now here it gets tricky - Harris I don't think can win but the Dems can't let the last candidates all be white men. UNLESS - she drops out, immediately endorses Biden, and Biden says, immediately, I will be glad to have her on my ticket when we get to the convention. Despite the fact I think he won't win, this might actually make him win. If those campaigns are too bitter with each other to do that, that only leaves one candidate: Buttigieg Posted by: blaster at April 26, 2019 10:42 AM (ZfRYq) Well, what do I know anyway? Turns out that Amy Klobuchar is more popular than Kirsten Gillibrand. Who knew? I did not factor in the debates as events in the primary. Only 10 of this crew made it, that is what took out Inslee and Gillibrand, likely more will drop due to this also. Posted by: blaster at September 03, 2019 09:48 AM (9VeU0) 55
masaccio was cutting edge avant garden in his time. we see him as part of larger cultural, philosophical, social and technological changes we call the renaissance (e.g. one-point perspective = reason, science and naturalism). my point in defending picasso and cubism the other day was that he also representative of cultural changes of the twentieth century and why shouldn't there be a change in art as well as everything else in how we live and see the world.

The dove as a symbol comes from several places but was the "offering" at the temple from the very poor. The symbol as the Holy Spirit comes from the baptism narrative and also reintroduces Noah's dove, ie life after death from the deluge, or life after going down unto death. When the masses on the banks of the Jordon saw the dove, they'd immediately think about "sacrifice." The dove, like the lamb of God, is a sacrificial symbol.
In Trinitarian theology, the Holy Spirit is a person who exists from the love between the Father and the Son (the Word, or how God describes himself). Posted by: dagny at September 03, 2019 09:49 AM (nRWPy) 59

OK, something about this one was giving me a headache, and I just figured out what it is. That "sense of depth" I mentioned earlier isn't consistent through the piece. The top of the vault is deeper than the bottom. Thing is, the visual cues for the structure the Father is standing on indicate both the back of the vault and a spot near the front, depending on how you trace the perspective. I don't know if this looks different to someone viewing the actual piece on display or it's just something off...or it's intentional, which would actually be interesting itself.

For a painting from the 1400's the anatomical detail (arm musculature in particular) is amazing. The pectoral configuration seems a little off and the linear continuation of the iliac crest toward the symphysis pubis seems wrong.

My doctor, a lovely Christian man, recently went to the town of Magdala, Mary the Magdalene's hometown. He said you could tell it was a once a very rich place.

Mary Magdalene was probably one of the followers of Jesus who supported Jesus and His disciples financially, as they traveled around Galilee.
Posted by: grammie winger That's interesting. I wasn't aware of the details you mentioned, puts that personage in a different light. Mary Magdalene's one of those odd figures whose nature seems unclear enough in the Gospels that some truly odd legends have arisen around her.

It's one of those French words that has to be heard to be believed. That's probably about as close as it can be rendered with a non-French human vocal tract.

The patrons of the artwork (the folks who paid for the work to be made) show up A LOT in Renaissance art. It was the quickest way to show everyone who saw it how pius you were. And if you could get the best artist to create the best religious work, extra pius-brownie points. Renaissance art patronage is essentially a competition between the ruling classes of Italy and Europe who could out-class/out-pius each other. The competition gave us some great art tho.

Completely O/T or inspired by this painting.
I happened to come across a video on Youtube of Barber's Adagio played by a string quartet. The Adagio was written for string quartet but it is rarely heard that way. I've heard it played by full orchestra, a capella choirs, even Canadian Brass. The quartet form is much better. You can hear each note of each instrument as they wax and wane and combine for that glorious harmony. The heartbreak and resolution Barber instilled is clearer in this simpler format. Search on "Barber: Adagio for Strings, Original Version, Dover Quartet". You'll thank me later. Like the Wexford Carol by Alison Krauss and Yo Yo Ma, it is beyond exquisite.

Some think that the idea that Jesus had long hair came from the fact that he was born in Nazareth, and therefore had taken the Nazarene oath never to cut his hair (see Samson), however there is no evidence that He took this oath. One evidence pointing away from that view is that He drank wine, which was a no-no for a person bound by Nazarene law.

That may be a hold-over from when the image of Christ was adapted from images of Apollo. Posted by: Kris at September 03, 2019 10:44 AM (OyyDO) Any idea why he frequently is depicted skeletal? Posted by: Someguy at September 03, 2019 10:46 AM (4i8PS) I've seen depictions of Him as thin, but nothing I'd call skeletal. The thinness could be that He was a wondering preacher, and those types usually depend on the kindness of strangers for food. Therefore, they are thin because they don't eat regularly? That's a guess tho. A lot of depictions use contemporary knowledge as a baseline. That's why a lot of Biblical scenes dress people in Renaissance clothing. It's what they knew best.

292 Just checked in at Hey Jackass to see what Chicongo did over the Communist labor day weekend and noticed that in 2019 alone there were 38 mass shootings in Chicongo. Did anybody hear about this nonstop on the Lying Media?
A Dem blactivist on the Twatters was pushing the idea over the weekend that all the Chicago shootings of blacks are actually carried out by deplorables and carefully set up to blame other blacks. Posted by: Ian S. at September 03, 2019 10:46 AM (ZGrMX) In fairness, wasn't Labor Day set on the first Monday of September so as NOT to be communist? Everywhere else it is May Day, and that WAS the communist doing. Posted by: Curmudgeon at September 03, 2019 11:03 AM (ujg0T) 375

I've only ever dabbled in country music, so my knowledge is quite limited, but the song "Jolene" intrigues me.
Here's Dolly, pleading with some other chick not to take her man, and I think it's highly unlikely any woman has ever taken a man from Dolly, unless she wanted him took. So... it occurred to me... maybe Dolly... maybe SHE is the Jolene! She's singing it as she's hearing it from the other woman. Starts to make sense that way. I'm not sure if she's ever explained it, but that's how I hear it. Posted by: BurtTC at September 03, 2019 11:04 AM (cY3LT) 384

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at September 03, 2019 11:02 AM (ClOmq) ------- Another option you can consider is getting a premium subscription to Spotify, which I think is $10/month. They often run introductory specials with the first month free or 99 cents a month for the first three months. You can download playlists (ones that are already there, or make your own) and play them through your phone without using data. No commercials either. You can also listen on your computer, of course.

every now and again the Catholic faithful come up with something seriously dubious, and the rest of us have to figure out how to deal with it. the Shroud of Turin is one example. Fatima is another.

I want her to become one of the biggest voices of a weakened Democratic Party, because she brings in money but is so obviously corrupt. Can't do that. She's in the country illegally and needs to be removed from office today, arrested and deported. She misrepresented her case for citizenship and lied to get into our country. Every vote she cast in Congress is null and void because of her lying. Like I said, we need to get serious. Having an illegal in Congress should enrage everybody in the nation. And we need to make damned sure it never happens again. #OmarOutNow Posted by: BackwardsBoy - #PurgeProgressivism at September 03, 2019 11:07 AM (HaL55) 390

The haloed Mary appears to be discounting the scene entirely; "Never saw him before, are you kidding me ? Nope that's not him !", while the 2 women on the lower steps are reacting to this by looking at each other; the one on the right appears to be ready to burst out laughing.
The other standing figure looks like a political bureaucrat, not contributing at all, just taking advantage of the painted picture-op. I do not like the painting, although the genetic link of God and Jesus is good, they look much alike. The holy spirit is not visible to humans, generally speaking, but may manifest itself as a dove, God moves in mysterious ways, and all.
