Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Mid-Morning Art Thread![]() Giovanni Battista di Jacopo (Rosso Fiorentino) The Pietà is a classic subject of Renaissance art, dominated by Michelangelo's glorious sculpture. Many examples have a static feel about them...more portrait than exposition of Mary's sorrow. I found Fiorentino's Pietà to be almost painful to look at, and of course that is exactly the emotion one expects, but rarely gets. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Maybe I'm missing the metaphor, but the symbolism of the red seems oddly reversed. The body of Christ should be a grisly mass of blood -- sacrificing himself to the full measure for the humanity around him. Yet, for some reason, all the surrounding characters are in blood-red while Jesus is spotless.

||Rosso Fiorentino after Florence, worked in Rome, from which he had to flee, due to Sacco di Roma in 1527 by the Spanish Lanzichenecchi of Charles V, to take refuge in Venice.
This escape marked a turning point in the maturation of the artist, in whose works a darker theme entered, such as in "Lamento o Pietà" (1528, Sansepolcro) and "Transfiguration" (1528-1530,Cathedral of Città di Castello). In 1530 Francesco I called him to France, as an official painter, to renew the Chà ¢ teau de Fontainebleau; here Rosso Fiorentino worked with other Italians such as Francesco Primaticcio (1505-1570), forming the Fontainebleau school which had a great influence on French painting of the time. The Pomona Pavilion (1532-1535) and the Gallery of Francis I (1534-1537) decorated with Francesco Primaticcio for the Royal Palace of Fontainebleau, with a more contained and elegant mannerism, in line with the taste of the French court. Giovanni Battista of Jacopo, Rosso Fiorentino died in Fontainebleau in 1540, leaving France's ten-year work Fontainebleau school, from which the Italian Mannerist style spread to Northern Europe.|| Posted by: andycanuck (wse2C) at July 26, 2024 09:55 AM (wse2C) 64

I do know if you ever go to Italy the Vatican museums are legitimately incredible. Everyone talks about the Sistine Chapel and for sure that is something but the Vatican museums are something beyond belief. I’ve been to a lot of museums, but that is the one seed.

Alot of his works shown at:
https://tinyurl.com/mwxdre6j are very modern looking. ||Mannerism is a style in European art that emerged in the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520, spreading by about 1530 and lasting until about the end of the 16th century in Italy, when the Baroque style largely replaced it. Northern Mannerism continued into the early 17th century. Mannerism encompasses a variety of approaches influenced by, and reacting to, the harmonious ideals associated with artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Vasari, and early Michelangelo. Where High Renaissance art emphasizes proportion, balance, and ideal beauty, Mannerism exaggerates such qualities, often resulting in compositions that are asymmetrical or unnaturally elegant. Notable for its artificial (as opposed to naturalistic) qualities, this artistic style privileges compositional tension and instability rather than the balance and clarity of earlier Renaissance painting. Mannerism in literature and music is notable for its highly florid style and intellectual sophistication. The definition of Mannerism and the phases within it continue to be a subject of debate among art historians.|| Posted by: andycanuck (wse2C) at July 26, 2024 10:01 AM (wse2C) 75

Palpitation is not the right word sorry about that. They go into the groin and go up an artery and make some changes to the heart. It’s funny because even two weeks ago this wasn’t even on my radar. I knew had a fib, but I’ve had it for for years. This guy thinks it’s absurd the doctors keep going in AP for so long and he says I have to have surgery. I never spent tonight in the hospital and legitimately. I don’t have anyone to discuss it with. I guess I’m supposed to just accept what this guy says this guy I just met and roll the dice. The Internet says it’s a 3 to 6 hour surgery and this is from a guy who never even broke a pinky. Oh well, not asking anyone to feel bad for me but if anyone is gone to that, maybe they could comment. I wish I had someone else to run this by, but I legit did not.

182, hey berserker,, Yeah, I thought about doing it myself, but they’re gonna do it anyways. I am no modern man if you know what I mean. My plan is to at least look up the doctor and look up alternatives because I’m pretty young in my 50s and I have a fib. He thinks I have to have this procedure and he probably is right, but I would be foolish to at least not look into it. I’ve already had a bunch of test and I have done all those. I haven’t reneged on anything they told me to do.

This is a lesson on how the media shapes our politics. The press wanted Biden out. So they gave him the Trump treatment—burying him in an onslaught of negative news. In a few weeks, he caved. Now, the focus is changing once again. They've shifted back to the real enemy. (1/9) For the brief period of time that the press was arrayed against Biden, everything seemed to suddenly come into place for Republicans. They were elated. The wind was in their sails. Victory seemed to be inevitable. Biden was isolated—under siege. Trump had all the momentum. (2/9) But many Republicans didn't fully realize why. Yes, Biden was a terrible candidate. Yes, Trump had just survived an attempt on his life. But the through-line in all this was that the press was suddenly treating Trump better than they ever had before—or ever would again. (3/9) Just to give a few quick examples: Look at this Washington Post headline. No, really. Look at it. "Trump's emotional entrance." "A fitting culmination." Trump "makes his entrance." When has the Washington Post ever written about Donald Trump this way before? (4/9) Posted by: andycanuck (wse2C) at July 26, 2024 10:42 AM (wse2C) 203
America 2100 @America_2100 14h
"Trump's emotional appearance" (New York Times) "Trump calls for unity" (NY Daily News) "Trump savors convention crowd" (NBC) "Trump faithful moved" by his entrance (BBC) Trump's speeches are usually "dark," "angry," "filled with far-right dog whistles." But not this one. (5/9) Obviously, it was still the media, and it was still Donald Trump. You can find plenty of negative coverage. But there was a notable softening of the tone; for once, they weren't firing on all cylinders against him. And they were firing on all cylinders against Biden. (6/9) In his new book, @AuronMacintyre describes how the rise of mass democracy shifted political power from the old power centers—state, church, guild, landed nobility, etc—to the institutions that shaped public opinion: Education, entertainment industry, the press, and so on. (7/9) The past few weeks have vindicated that insight. The media and other narrative-forming institutions shape our political discourse in profound, fundamental ways. Even conservatives, despite their hostility to the media, are playing on their terms. (8/9) Posted by: andycanuck (wse2C) at July 26, 2024 10:42 AM (wse2C) 204

Of course, we all know because this is a smart military blog that sideburns got their name from the union Army General Burnside. He had major sideburns, though they didn’t have a name for it when it started. Burnside is normally laughed at and considered a random piece of history because sideburns were named for him. I have no expert on the man far from it, but from what I have seen of him at Fredericksburg and Gettysburg. He was at least a competent general. His own side treated him poorly, and while he was no Grant, he certainly wasn’t one of the worst.

211, Berzerker, I was diagnosed with a fib in my late 40s and the doctors never really did anything about it. So I ran into this heart doctor he thought the entire thing was absurd. They never badmouth fellow doctors, but he thought it was weird to say the least, and put me on the path to getting this ablation. I’m wearing a monitor right now for I guess two weeks then comes the CAT scan and then the procedure.
I probably been in a fib for a years and no doctor did a thing about it. Now this guy tells me forget the stroke being an a fib can damage your heart so that’s where I am. I wish the other doctors eight years ago said that, but they didn’t. Not exactly excited about the procedure because they said it would be general anesthesia this from a guy who never even broke a pinky. Oh well, I know people do it all the time, but I’ve never spent the night in the hospital and to me. I’m not so sanguine on the entire event.

224, I kind of am, I would not have brought it up if I wasn’t kind of asking for other opinions. I do know because I cared for my own parents who became in invalids that you have to be your own advocate. The doctor that says I need to do this is going to do the procedure if I keep following what he says to do and it will be in a week or so. I am thinking I should ask for a second opinion because there really wasn’t a lot of discussion, he wasn’t bad mind you but for sure the discussion was short, I could barely comprehend what was going to happen. I mean, I had gone to doctors over the last eight years and none of them did crap and now this guy says I need major surgery and we have to do it now. I know I’m too young for a fib, but that’s been true for eight years so I still just keep doing my thing. Any opinions or advice is appreciated. I didn’t bring this up because I want to draw attention to myself. I brought it up because maybe someone could give me some advice.

I could see RFK Jr in some health related position in the Trump administration, but I saw him pulling from Biden as a protest vote. Maybe he saw the ineptitude of the Secret Service and decided, "Screw this". Posted by: Divide by Zero at July 26, 2024 10:59 AM (RKVpM) 253

231, lol, good thing for sure. I was weird supposedly as a baby. I was sick though I can’t remember that I also had chickenpox twice which they say is not possible, but I did. Outside of that, I’ve never had an issue but I got a fib in my late 40s and it’s even a rare thing for people in their 80s so that sucks. I’m following with the doctors telling me to do I guess there will be an ablation procedure.,, It’s new for me for sure. I’ve been to a lot of hospitals, but it was caring for family members never for me. I won’t have any family members caring for me, but so what life till you the cards and then you played them. You actually help me because I think I’m gonna go through with it because what are the options? I will look up the doctor though, and I will look into a second opinion because I need to know what the options are, though my guess is they’re gonna say just do it.

I mean, I had gone to doctors over the last eight years and none of them did crap and now this guy says I need major surgery and we have to do it now. I know I’m too young for a fib, but that’s been true for eight years so I still just keep doing my thing. Any opinions or advice is appreciated. I didn’t bring this up because I want to draw attention to myself. I brought it up because maybe someone could give me some advice.
Posted by: Quint at July 26, 2024 10:54 AM (/7Asi) Research the doctor, make sure he don't have a feather hat and a bone in his nose. My friend had afib for some years and it got bad. real bad. He barley slept for a month and was too weak to pee in the middle of the night. He had the procedure, and 2 weeks later he jumped on his harley and went to the laconia run in new hampshire. He's doing great. If...if you got a good doctor then just do it. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at July 26, 2024 11:00 AM (VwHCD) 258

238 224, I kind of am, I would not have brought it up if I wasn’t kind of asking for other opinions. I do know because I cared for my own parents who became in invalids that you have to be your own advocate. The doctor that says I need to do this is going to do the procedure if I keep following what he says to do and it will be in a week or so. I am thinking I should ask for a second opinion because there really wasn’t a lot of discussion, he wasn’t bad mind you but for sure the discussion was short, I could barely comprehend what was going to happen. I mean, I had gone to doctors over the last eight years and none of them did crap and now this guy says I need major surgery and we have to do it now.

Townhall: "Russia Suddenly Open to Peace Talks With Ukraine After Biden Drops Out of 2024 Race"

>250 Philly is one of the few places I've gone where most people seem to have no pride of place whatsoever. You can ask a taxi driver "what's good to do in a Philadelphia," and get back "Leave. Everything sucks here."

Now, you couldn't pay me to go into town. It sucks to know your daughter is terrified to walk to class and school administration refuse to do anything about crime on campus because its racist, yo.

I personally like Vance, but if Trump was still an NY resident i think he would have picked Rubio.

it seemed that the Kennedy 5 way race netted Trump an average +1 point versus his head to head with Biden. A couple of recent polls showed the 5 way the same or even advantaging Harris by a point. Who knows?

248, thanks. I did change health insurance a couple times, but I was with doctors many times and they never did anything. They never even referred me to a cardiologist until now. When I met with the cardiologist, he was shocked that I was diagnosed with a fib almost 8 years ago, and he was very concerned about my heart. He really hasn’t said anything about the results, but he wants to do the procedure, I don’t know why the previous doctors never did anything about it particularly because I’m so young and this guy was pretty shocked about it so even that little thing makes me think he’ll be OK. I wish the past I wish someone would’ve done this intervention eight years ago, but they didn’t. I thought the only concern was a fib was stroke. Now I hear having it for a long period can majorly damage your heart. Oh well, we’ll see what happens. I’m gonna go through with it. I appreciate you letting me Feel good about it.

Afib should be treated by an Electro Physiologist not a Cardiologist. If you don't live in a big city, if you are within driving distance of a big city find a doctor (Electro Physiologist) at their best rated Heart Hospital. You want someone who does it all day every day.

Thanks for the advice berserker I do appreciate it and I will do that research and so far I have not, but I will do it.

268, thanks, I am going to look into that on your advice. I do want a second opinion or at least a pause to figure out what the options are.

Also career 11 Series. Widowmaker heart attack couple years back with stent installed next morning. 6 months of cardio rehab (3 x per week. Treadmill/bike with EKG monitor. Plus 5 hrs walking per week at home) Had to have 4 sensors for the EKG. Kept falling off. Easiest was shaving all acreage north of the belly button. Once a week was sufficient. For me, better than rolling over and dying. Posted by: Iron Mike Golf at July 26, 2024 11:21 AM (8C7+r) 273
