Fontevraud Gradual

Prompt: Focus on Fontevraud Gradual and explain the History.

The gradual was made in Paris in the 1250s, perhaps in the studio of Nicolas Lombard. Richard and Mary Rouse attribute the manuscript to one of the four artists who produced a glossy bible commissioned by Guy de La Tour du Pin, bishop of Clermont from 1250 to 1285.Its patrons may have been John II, Duke of Brittany and Beatrice of England, Eleanor's parents. It would have been entrusted to their daughter in 1290 when she arrived at the abbey. Eleanor became an abbess in 1304. The coat of arms of the abbess appears on the edges, but is later than the manuscript.When she died in 1342, she left the gradual to the abbey. In 1387, Pascal Hugonot, abbot of Saint-Pierre de la Couture in Le Mans, donated the gradual to the collegiate church of Saint-Junien in Haute-Vienne. Father Joseph Nadaud studied it there in the middle of the 18th century. During the French Revolution and its seizure of religious property, the gradual was deposited in Limoges.

Piccadilly Gardens (painting)

Prompt: Focus on Piccadilly Gardens (painting) and explain the History.

The area of Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester was laid out as a public garden in the 1930s on the former site of the Manchester Royal Infirmary. Lowry was familiar with the area and often visited the gardens, becoming acquainted with a range of unfortunate local people he met there, beggars and cripples, many of whom became subjects of his paintings. In 1930, Lawrence Haward, the then director of the Manchester City Art Gallery commissioned Lowry to produce studies of Piccadilly Gardens "as it is today with the sunken garden, the loafers, the rains and all the rest of the mess and muddle". Haward gave no other direction to Lowry, and when Lowry submitted his work to the gallery, Haward expressed dissatisfaction with the focus on individual figures. In an exchange of letters, Haward asked for another submission capturing a general view over the site, to which Lowry responded with annoyance, refusing to submit any more work: "Had you told me, when I asked you had you any special view in mind, I would have acted upon it... I am afraid that I cannot spend any more time on this subject."In 1954, Leonard Cohen and Henry's Stores Ltd of Market Street commissioned a painting from Lowry, and it seems likely that Lowry used these initial sketches as a reference. In January 1956, Piccadilly Gardens was presented to the City Art Gallery as a gift from Henry's Stores to mark the 80th birthday of the company's co-founder, Mrs Henry Cohen.The commemorative fountain depicted at the centre of the gardens was new at the time of Lowry's painting; it had replaced an earlier public sculpture entitled Adrift by John Cassidy, which was relocated to the south end of the gardens in 1953. In 2001-2003, Piccadilly Gardens were re-landscaped by Manchester City Council and the sunken garden seen in the painting was filled in. The Coronation Fountain has been relocated to Platt Fields Park in the southern suburb of Fallowfield, and Cassidy's sculpture is now situated in St Peter's Square.  Following the 21st-century remodelling, Lowry's painting is noted as a historical record of the former layout of Piccadilly Gardens.Piccadilly Gardens was included in several exhibitions of Lowry's work, and was exhibited at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1954 and the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts in 1955.

Tamanend (sculpture)

Prompt: Focus on Tamanend (sculpture) and explain the abstract.

Tamanend was honored as the figurehead of USS Delaware in a carving by William Luke. Tamanend the “affable” (c. 1628–1698) was a chief of one of the clans that made up the Lenni-Lenape nation in the Delaware Valley. He is best known as a lover of peace and friendship who played a prominent role in the establishment of peaceful relations among the Native American tribes and the English settlers who established Pennsylvania, led by William Penn. The USS Delaware was burned in 1861 at the Gosport Navy Yard to prevent Confederate capture at the start of the Civil War. In 1866, the salvaged figurehead was transferred to the United States Naval Academy and placed on a pedestal facing Bancroft Hall, the Naval Academy's dormitory that is said to be the largest dormitory in the United States, and is flanked by Stribling Walk on both sides.For 40 years, the wooden figurehead kept its vigil in the Yard until the weather began to take its toll. In 1906 repairs using cement, putty, and paint temporarily removed the signs of age. When the ravages of the elements again threatened, the Class of 1891 had the statue cast in bronze and presented it to the Brigade of Midshipmen and Naval Academy. The task of restoration was accomplished at the U.S. Naval Gun Factory.

Prompt: Focus on Tamanend (sculpture) and explain the Statue Name.

In the 1800s the statue was given several names by the Midshipment before "Tecumseh" received general acceptance.  It was widely referred to by this nickname for a century and a half, with the "Reef Points" plebe handbook referring to it as Tecumseh with a note that the figurehead is really of Delamare chief Tamanend.  The confusion was accepted and part of the Academy tradition.  In recent years efforts have been made to shift its name to the more-accurate, but confusing to alumni, name "Tamanend."

A Donkey, 3 Rocks, and a Bird.

Prompt: Focus on A Donkey, 3 Rocks, and a Bird. and explain the Description and history.

Brad Rude's A Donkey, 3 Rocks, and a Bird. (1992), installed at Catlin Gabel School between the Lower School's science room and the Art Barn, is a cast bronze and stone sculpture depicting a life-size donkey and a bird facing one another. The donkey has a rock balanced on its back, while the bird is both standing on a rock and balancing one on its head. The donkey has surfaces decorations, including glyphs and figures, and is coated in polychrome bronze. The bird is coated in blue, green, orange, red and yellow. The sculpture measures approximately 55 inches (1.4 m) x 108 inches (2.7 m) x 20 inches (0.51 m). Its base is made of exposed aggregate concrete and measures approximately 10 inches (0.25 m) x 108 inches (2.7 m) x 20 inches (0.51 m). One plaque on the base reads, "A DONKEY / 3 ROCKS, / AND A BIRD." / BY BRAD RUDE '92. Another reads, Donkey, Bird and Rocks / by Brad Rude / Cast Bronze / a gift from / Dori Schnitzer '71 and Susan Schnitzer '74 / A CAMPAIGN FOR CATLIN GABEL / Breaking Ground for the 21st Century / September 1992. Inscriptions near the donkey's crotch displays the artist's last name, a copyright symbol, and the year of completion, plus the founder's mark for Will Willie. The Smithsonian Institution describes the work as abstract. Its condition was deemed "well maintained" by Smithsonian's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in November 1993.

The Jurist (Arcimboldo)

Prompt: Focus on The Jurist (Arcimboldo) and explain the abstract.

The Jurist (Italian: L'Avvocato), also known as The Lawyer, is an oil-on-canvas painting by Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo, painted in 1566.It shows a member of the legal profession, whose facial features are depicted using meat and fish, and whose body is composed of legal documents. Two versions of the painting exist; the first, from 1566, is held by the National Museum of Fine Arts (Nationalmuseum) in Stockholm (acquired from a collection at Gripsholm Castle in 1866), and a later version is held by a private collector in Milan.Arcimboldo was employed as court painter to Maximilian II and was already well established as an artist by the time he created The Jurist. He was known for his innovative style, particularly for his portraits in which the subjects were composed of everyday objects. His fantastical and imaginative paintings somewhat foreshadowed the Surrealist movement of the 20th century, but were also appreciated as part of the Mannerist tradition of his own time. His series of paintings, The Four Seasons, which depicted the changing seasons as series of portraits composed of seasonal plants, were particularly popular, and he even created a portrait of Rudolf II (entitled Vertemnus) in the same style.The features of the face are represented by the plucked carcasses of poultry and the sneering mouth by fish. It is not known if the subject is a caricature of the legal profession in general or based on a real jurist of the time. The German jurist Ulrich Zasius is normally suggested as the subject; the Nationalmuseum lists the picture in its catalogue as The Lawyer (Ulrich Zasius), but Calvin has also been suggested. Arcimboldo's portrait of The Librarian (Il Bibliotecario), painted the same year, has a more noble aspect, although this portrait too has been interpreted as a parody of librarianship, book collectors, and intellectualism.
