World peace (sculpture)

Prompt: Focus on World peace (sculpture) and explain the Background.

According to the 1983 sculpture exchange treaty between Moscow and Helsinki, Helsinki donated the 1990 sculpture Children of peace by Antti Neuvonen to Moscow.In 1983 a long cultural-political discussion was held about Oleg Kiryuhin's sculpture, where it was met with strong opposition. However, the city of Helsinki declined the alternative option to receive a statue of Lenin.The sculpture World peace is one of many copies of the original sculpture. Copies of the original were placed in numerous cities in the Soviet Union and the copy in Helsinki was probably the last copy to be placed. Helsinki is the only location outside the former Soviet Union to host a copy of the sculpture.The sculpture was part of the overall plan of the Hakaniemi market square in the late 1980s. According to a Helsingin Sanomat article in 1986 the market square plan would have also included two sculpture contest winners: Riemukaari ("the arch of triumph") cast in red brick by Jukka Vikberg and Hermeksen pöytä ("the table of Hermes") cast in red granite by Reijo Paavilainen. They would have been located near the Hakaniemi market hall.The sculpture was delivered to Helsinki in 1989 in parts. Sculptor Kiryuhin oversaw welding the sculpture together.

Prompt: In the context of World peace (sculpture), explain the Revelation and the Reception.

According to reporter Timo Kalevi Forss the old rhetoric of the Finno-Soviet Treaty of 1948 was still alive and well at the sculpture's revelation in 1990 and it was seen to contain "unease from great power politics and stiffness of fur cap embassies".

The Soviet Union was represented by a delegation led by Valeri T. Saikin, the head of the executive committee of the Moscow city council, which also included the sculptor Kiryuhin.According to Forss glasnost and perestroika had already influenced the thoughts of the Soviet citizens. At the revelation event, the artist said the sculpture was realist but not socialist. He also did not want to describe the female figure in the sculpture as either capitalist or socialist.

According to Lasse Lehtinen, a common nickname for the sculpture is "the fish-trap thieves".The human figures in the sculpture, with their hands clenched into fists, are said to depict the different continents of the world, but there is no figure depicting Asia. Cultural journalist Hannu Marttila has interpreted the sculpture as drawing influence from the sculpture Quatre parties du monde ("four continents") by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux at the middle of the fountain at the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, France.Maija Koskinen, who has studied the art of the Cold War era has said that 1990 was probably the last possible year for a sculpture exchange between Finland and the Soviet Union. According to her, the sculpture is quite a relic and can be interpreted as a memorial to Finlandisation. At the time of the sculpture's revelation, Finland was already seeking a new relationship to its eastern neighbour.

Oliver P. Morton (monument)

Prompt: Focus on Oliver P. Morton (monument) and explain the Historical information.

As seen on the memorial label, the memorial was installed in 1907. The work was commissioned by the Indiana General Assembly.The planning of the Morton memorial began in early 1906. On February 9, 1906, the Commission met and designs were presented by Franklin Simmons from Rome, Italy; Hugh A. Price from Chicago, Ill.; and Rudolph Schwarz from Indianapolis, Indiana, for bronze figures 12 feet high and the tablets for $9000. The designs for the pedestals were planned upon contract with John R. Lowe and if accepted, architect fees would be for the same. Plans by Lowe were accepted and after legal notice was given in the newspapers, bids for the pedestals were received on April 10, 1906. The Commission accepted bid of Chas. G. Blake & Co. of Chicago, Illinois of the $7,483 for Barre granite and $10,150 for Westerly granite.Soon after, officers of the state designated the space of the memorial as "Morton Plaza." The dimensions of the pedestals were then increased, for which the contractors were allowed an additional $935. On June 4, 1906, a contract in the amount of $7,500 was entered into for Schwarz to create the following components of the memorial: the letters of the name "Morton"; the 4.5 x 5 foot tablet that gives a brief history of life and services of Governor Morton; the  Grand Army tablet that is two feet six inches by eight feet; and the two bronze statues of soldiers of the Civil War, each ten feet high.Two balustrades were then placed on the north and south ends of Morton Plaza. The Commission again chose Chas. G. Blake & Co. Rudolph Schwarz received another contract to provide and furnish the materials for two bronze bas-reliefs to be placed on the middle columns of the balustrades for $500 apiece.The bas-relief of the south balustrade dedicates a scene to the women of the war. It states "... while some were supplying clothing and hospital supplies, others went down to the very border line of danger to help nurse back to health the sick and wounded, when possible."  The north bas-relief portrays a familiar war scene of the reception of homecoming veterans.The materials for the foundation upon which the pedestals sit is deeply laid solid masonry of limestone and cement. The pedestal itself weighs 32 tons and required 16 horses to move it from the car to the place where it is now. The bronze of the monument weighs approximately 16,000 pounds (7,300 kg), of which 8,000 pounds (3,600 kg) is attributed to just the Morton figure. The bronze is composed of 90% copper, 8% tin, and 2% zinc; the bronze of the balustrades and reliefs has the same composition.Oliver Perry Throck Morton, Morton's grandson, unveiled the memorial at the age of 8. After the dedication, the only unfinished work was the paving of the plaza. Crushed granite and granite steps were installed soon thereafter at the cost of $1,139.75. The total amount that was spent on the project was $36,544.40.

The piece was filmed at Rokeby Farm, located in upstate New York, near Barrytown. Rokeby is a home and estate that at one point belonged to the Astor family, and later the Livingston family.

Equestrian statue of Henry IV

Prompt: Focus on Equestrian statue of Henry IV and explain the Description.

The original statue of King Henry IV depicts the king riding his horse, which is placed on top of a central raised pedestal. At each of the four corners of the pedestal is a bronze statue of a chained slave. The pedestal's design was made by Ludovico Cigoli with the help of Pietro Tacca, Pietro Francavilla and Francesco Bordoni in its creation.According to the drawings of Ludovico Cigoli, a Medici court artist, the slaves were depicted with European features and posed with "Michaelangelsque contortions". The four slaves all rest on the bottom ledge of the pedestal and are chained to the harpies behind them on the upper corners of the pedestal. In Ludovico's drawing the slaves are bound with bands around their arms and chained to the harpies' hips. Other details on the pedestal are scenes of battle on the left and presumably the right side of the statue, along with "seated youths bearing swags".According to Victoria Thompson, the king and horse's pose were heavily influenced by the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius and his own equestrian statue.

Equestrian statue of Henry IV

Prompt: In the context of Equestrian statue of Henry IV, explain the Commission and the Creation.

Marie de Médicis was the primary person to have wanted the creation of the statue of Henry IV.  In 1604 it was most likely her that convinced her uncle, Ferdinando I, to have a miniature of the desired bronze statue commissioned.  Due to her concerns on the potentially slow pace of the actual statue's completion (due to Giambologna's age at the time), she wanted to shorten the process. She did so by suggesting a time-saving idea.  She suggested to Ferdinando I that since the bronze body and horse of his statue was already made, that it could be used instead of the original idea for the figure.  He rejected the idea, but suggested that previous molds for his horse were to be reused instead.Ferdinando I then visited Giambolongna's workshop to see the work that had been done. On September 17 and November 6 of 1607 he saw the cast of the horse and potentially any other progress that was made.  Maria de Medici made her own checks on the workshop during 1606–1608.  She used courtiers to keep tabs on the statue's progress.  One by the name of Calvaliere Camillo Guidi was used to inform the King and Queen of anything concerning the statue's completion, whether it was a lack of labor or even money.
