The Bedroom (Widener Collection)

Prompt: In The Bedroom (Widener Collection), how is the abstract discussed?

The Bedroom (1658–1660) is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch painter Pieter de Hooch. It is an example of Dutch Golden Age painting and is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., United States.The painting was documented in 1910 by Hofstede de Groot, who wrote:78. THE BEDROOM. Sm. 29, 55. This picture is similar in all respects to the picture at Karlsruhe (72), except that the little mirror hanging at the side of the bed has no ornament at the top and bottom. It has every sign of authenticity. Canvas, 20 inches by 23 inches. Mentioned by Waagen, ii. 71.Sales:S. J. Stinstra, in Amsterdam, May 22, 1822, No. 86 (25 florins, De Vries).Lord Radstock, at Christie's, in London, 1826 (70 guineas); 1827 (bought in at 150).Said by Smith (in 1833) and by Waagen to be in the collection of Lord Stafford, but not mentioned in the book on this collection which is still at Bridgewater House.Sales. Amsterdam, April 24, 1838 (3311 florins, Brondgeest).E. P. Cremer, in Middelburg, May 17, 1847, No. 8. Field, London, 1856 (^43 : is.).C. Scarisbrick, in London, May 1861 (441, F. N.).Adrian Hope, in London, June 30, 1894, No. 32 (2257 : 10s., C. Wertheimer).In the 1898 catalogue of 300 paintings of the dealer Sedelmeyer of Paris, No. 70.It is now in the collection of P. A. B. Widener, Philadelphia. Probably a second version of Mr. Widener's picture was included in the above-mentioned sales, for it is impossible that the picture was first in Holland, then in England, then in Holland again, and finally in England. This second version was not the picture at Karlsruhe, which, according to the director of that gallery, was in the possession of the Baden reigning house in the eighteenth century. Possibly it was an old copy which was in the hands of a London dealer about the year 1900. [Compare also the small picture in the Munro sale (86 and 84).]This painting seems to have been a successful design for de Hooch as there are several variations on the subject in addition to the picture in Karlsruhe:

Dining Room in the Country

Prompt: Focus on Dining Room in the Country and explain the History and description.

In 1912, Bonnard bought a country house in Verbon, a small town on the Seine, which was called "Ma Roulotte" (My Caravan). The current painting, created in 1913, depicts the dining room of his country house. On the canvas he presents cats sitting on chairs, and Martha, his wife, leaning on a windowsill. A large table, with a white towel, appears in the foreground, while a arms chair appears to the right, and another one is partially seen at the left. The door and the window are wide open and also open the space of the painting to the landscape outside. Bonnard in this work was able to emphasize the expressive qualities of bright colors and large strokes. He combined the interior of the room with the "outside world", the garden seen through an open window and door, and connected different forms through playing with shades. However, unlike most impressionist painters, Bonnard created this canvas entirely from memory.Harriet Baker states that "On close inspection the painting’s horizontal lines are uncertain. Windows and door frames are painted in wavering brushstrokes, a mark of Bonnard’s indecision as a painter, but also his attention to porousness, to the movement between interior and exterior environments."

Lady Macbeth Seizing the Daggers

Prompt: Focus on Lady Macbeth Seizing the Daggers and explain the History and description.

Fuseli was a great admirer of William Shakespeare; he himself had translated the play Macbeth to German. He created several paintings inspired by Shakespeare's works. This painting, most likely a sketch for an intended larger work, represents a passage from the second scene of the second act of the same play. In this scene the protagonist, Macbeth, holds at arm's length the still bloody daggers with which he has just killed King Duncan, while his wife Lady Macbeth, the instigator of the regicide, signals him to be silent while rushing towards her husband to disarm him. Macbeth appears remorseful, while his wife appears more confident.  The scene has a fantastical appearance; the characters resemble glowing spectres before a dark background.

Prompt: In the context of Face mask (We people), explain the We people and the Description.

The We, sometimes called the Krahn or Guere, are an indigenous African people that inhabit areas in eastern Liberia and western Côte d'Ivoire. In this region, masks such as this one typically start as simple, unadorned objects carved by a male artist. The mask is then handed down through generations with each new wearer adding adornments. According to the We, as each generation adds to the mask, it grows in ritual significance and power. The individual honored with wearing the mask traditionally wears an oversized skirt made of raffia fronds and may carry a ceremonial staff.We masks similar to this one are often designed to appear ferocious and are intended for use in mediations between community members, as visual aids during moral lessons, and as forms of entertainment. By portraying the more frightening nature of the animal, the mask is viewed as powerful and may have been used as part of social control methods prior to the introduction of Western law systems during the colonial period.

Obelisk 11 March

Prompt: Focus on Obelisk 11 March and explain the abstract.

Obelisk 11 March (full title: 11 March, This could be a Day of Historical Importance) is a 1979 outdoor obelisk memorial by the Yugoslav conceptual artist Braco Dimitrijević. It is located in the north-eastern end of the Schloss Charlottenburg park in Berlin, where it can be viewed during daylight hours, year-round. No admission fee required.The obelisk is a commemoration of an arbitrary date, in fact the result of a chance meeting on a street in West Berlin, 1976. This "obelisk beyond history," as Dimitrijević has labeled it, is an early example of both a large-scale conceptual art work and an anti-monument. The project, initiated by the artist during a residency in Berlin in 1976, was completed in 1979 with the financial assistance of the Senate of Berlin, the Berlin Lottery Foundation, DAAD and the former Verwaltung der Staatlichen Schlösser und Gärten in West Berlin.

Obelisk 11 March

Prompt: Focus on Obelisk 11 March and explain the The Casual Passer-by.

Dimitrijević gained an international reputation in the seventies with his "Casual Passer-by" series of works, in which anonymous people were given the attention usually reserved for dignitaries, often in the form of large photo portraits displayed on cultural institutions and other prominent facades in cities like Paris, London, Venice and Zagreb. The artist also mimicked other ways of glorifying important persons, such as putting up busts and memorial plaques. This strategy of involving pure chance and fellow citizens has over the years given the artist the means to critically challenge aspects of Western memory culture, its underlying power structures, as well as "anonymity imposed by historical processes" and "the vagaries of chance, the whims of history, and the fickleness of celebrity."I initiated this discourse at the beginning of my work in 1969 with the statement: "There are no mistakes in history, the whole of history is a mistake." This marked a revolt against history which I have always considered as being a false science and which I would call the only impressionistic science.

Prompt: Focus on Obelisk 11 March and explain the 11 March.

The eponymous date of the work was decided on by a casual passer-by, Peter Malwitz, who Dimitrijević encountered by chance on the street in Berlin. Malwitz's motivation for selecting 11 March was that it was his birthday.11 March is the 70th day of the year (71st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. Compared to generally well-known dates of the calendar – for example 1 January, 8 March, 1 May, 11 September, or 25 December – 11 March is altogether more neutral and anonymous. The article March 11 has a list of events and observances taking place on this date. However, all of the events listed are equally unimportant to the work.The obelisk's four sides have the inscription 11 March - This Could be a Day of Historical Importance done in four languages: French, English, German and Bosnian.

Obelisk 11 March

Prompt: Focus on Obelisk 11 March and explain the Misinterpretations.

After decades of patination, and also owing much to its location among several 18th century sculptures and memorials, the work is sometimes mistaken for an original 18th century artefact, possibly "one brought from some expedition to decorate Friedrich the III’s summer palace".By using an arbitrarily chosen date, the work is meant to stimulate contemplation about the essence of historical significance rathen than casually being attached to specific events. Nevertheless, it has on a few occasions been appropriated by communities for private anniversaries. One example is how Lithuanian expats and officials in Berlin use the obelisk in various ways to mark 11 March, 1990, the day when Lithuania declared its independence from the Soviet Union and thus, as they see it, fulfilled "the prophecy on the monument". This lack of understanding was shown publicly also by the Lithuanian Minister of Foreign Affairs in a 2021 tweet, a quite different outcome seen in the context of the artist's intention to provide an alternative to a place typically reserved for the political elite.On the other hand, when it comes to history in general, the artist has expressed a hope for a multitude of interpretations rather than official mono-visions and typical Eurocentric perspectives:As I see, history should be composed of an infinite number of interpretations of events, so that difference between legend and history would disappear.

Cristo de Chircales

Prompt: Focus on Cristo de Chircales and explain the History.

The history of Valdepeñas de Jaén is deeply linked to the history of the Christ of Chircales. Since the founding in 1539, the contacts with the site of Chircales and the community of hermits who lived there (occupying various caves of the foothills of the valley) was increasing. And from this relationship, various Foundations and Chaplainiah were endowed to sustain Christian worship and devotion in that place. The Sanctuary acquired goods with which to exist. Since the mid-16th century the presence of a group of hermit priests residing in Chircales (Luis de Noguera, Gaspar Lucas and Ginés de Jesús de Naples) and linked to the priestly school of San Juan de Avila incentivized in all areas the material and spiritual construction of the Sanctuary.For this purpose, the construction of the present Church of the Shrine, and of some outbuildings, was addressed in order to open the hermit to the faithful. To this end, an artistic beautification must also have been sought, which led them to commission the painting of the Christ of Chircales. The Iconography theme had deeply linked to the spirituality of St. John of Avila and his disciples.The first testimony of the existence of the painting of the Christ of Chircales dates back from 1609, in which his existence appeared in an inventory of goods commanded by Bishop Sancho Dávila Toledo.In 1751, and with a marked devotional character, the painting was substantially modified, to accommodate two philanthropy in memory of the gold of the Baroque framework, and the elaboration of the painting of an allusive endorsement of the exaltation of the Eucharist. The lower phylactery has inscribed the following text: This endorsement of the Blessed Christ of Chircales was endowed and painted at the request from Mr. Basilio Fajardo, priest and other benefactors of the town of Baldepeñas. Year 1751. And on the top, coming out of the expiring face of Christ: Pater ygnosce illis quia nesciunt quid faciunt (Father, forgive them because they do not know what they do).

Cristo de Chircales

Prompt: Focus on Cristo de Chircales and explain the Devotion.

The Christ of Chircales had adored an extended regional and local devotion in Valdepeñas de Jaén, where it is the main one of religious devotions. Since the seventeenth century it has been written of its sporadic transfer to Valdepeñas de Jaén on the occasion of begging for epidemics or climatic causes. Since the nineteenth century, and specifically since the morbid cholera epidemic of 1834, its presence in Valdepeñas de Jaén is more common, and from the end of the century it is annual and traditional, where it remains from the first of September, until the last Sunday of October, when it is transferred to its Sanctuary. There is a historical record of his devotion in all the villages of his region, having existed brotherhoods under his advocation in almost all towns and cities.In 1834 several neighbors of a populous street of Valdepeñas de Jaén, from la Calle de Sisehace, entrusted their health to the Christ of Chircales during an epidemic of morbid cholera, and having not been killed they agreed to the foundation of a bond, through which they would pay for a religious festival in honor of the Christ of Chircales. Over time, around 1855 devotion materialized in the foundation of a Brotherhood to attend to the local devotion to the Christ of Chircales. Since then the brotherhood has thickened his payroll of brotherhoods and took over the Sanctuary and devotion. Today it survives as the only Canonically erected Brotherhood in the town.In Jaén devotion to the Christ of Chircales had an important value. There is currently a Brotherhood under his canonical-based advocation in the Parish of San Juan de la Cruz, being a member of the Brotherhood and Brotherhood Group of the City of Jaén. Brotherhood with statutes since 1867 and which was based in the Church of St. Bartholomew (Jaén). The Brotherhood, reorganized in 1985, participates annually in the religious festivities held in Valdepeñas de Jaén, and the ones it celebrates in its canonical headquarters of the capital.In Martos, the preserved replica is displayed in the Hermitage of San Miguel, a 19th-century copy of the painting of the Christ of Chircales, belonging to the artistic legacy of Don Antonio de la Torre Arias, great devotee of this image. Originally the painting must have been in his palace house, then passed to his funeral pantheon of the municipal cemetery, from where he passed to the Church of San Francisco, and from this, in present time to the Hermitage of San Miguel, belonging to the Parish of the Assumption.In Alcaudete, José de Torres Ortega, the devotion to the Christ of Chircales had been traditionally dedicated to many devotees currently it still exists in the Caserío 'Chircales', a farmhouse that was owned by it, a chapel dedicated to the Christ of Chircales, where a popular pilgrimage was held. Being also the name of Chircales, a wide location of the municipality of Alcaudete.In Jamilena there is evidence of devotion to the Christ of Chircales, and of the usual pilgrimage to his Sanctuary. In 1798 he died in an accident, after a wall had been tached from the hospedería, the neighbor of Jamilena Cristóbal Barranco Liébana, who was buried in the Church of the Sanctuary.In Torredonjimeno it is also common to find references to the historical devotion of the Christ of Chircales. And from this devotion are located some votive pictorial works that were given away by the faithful to the Sanctuary. The former president of Torredonjimeno has the following inscription: Estando Francisca de Rada gravemente enferma, con un tabardillo, su madre María de los Dolores Lendínez, miró al Santísimo Cristo de Chircales, pidiendo su salud y estando en esta súplica consiguió su perfecta salud. Esta enferma es vecina de Torredonjimeno. Año 1856.
