The Humane Nurse

Prompt: Focus on The Humane Nurse and explain the History.

Bispebjerg Hospital opened in 1913.  The monument was a donation from the Foundation for the Advancement of Artistic Purposes (Fonden til kunstneriske Formaals Fremme) with funding from the Goldschmidt Grant for the Embellishment of Copenhagen (Fhv. Grosserer og Farver B. Goldschmidts Legat til Københavns Forskønnelse). It was designed by Jens Jacob Bregnø.  He found the model for the statue by studying the group photographs of graduating nurses from Copenhagen Municipal Hospital in 1938 and selected Pia Kappel, née Togeby (1910-2004) for her "sculptural appearance".The statue was unveiled on 1 September 1941, the 65th anniversary of the introduction of the first professional training programme for nurses in Denmark.  The way the nurse holds the infant was met with criticism for her failure to provide head support.  Bregnø explained that he had intentionally chosen the design with an obstinate child to avoid an overly twee expression.

Nezame Monogatari Emaki

Prompt: Focus on Nezame Monogatari Emaki and explain the Background.

Originating in Japan in the sixth or seventh century through trade with the Chinese Empire, emakimono art spread widely among the aristocracy in the Heian period. An emakimono consists of one or more long scrolls of paper narrating a story through Yamato-e texts and paintings. The reader discovers the story by progressively unrolling the scroll with one hand while rewinding it with the other hand, from right to left (according to the then horizontal writing direction of Japanese script), so that only a portion of text or image of about 60 cm (24 in) is visible. The narrative assumes a series of scenes, the rhythm, composition and transitions of which are entirely the artist's sensitivity and technique. The themes of the stories were very varied: illustrations of novels, historical chronicles, religious texts, biographies of famous people, humorous or fantastic anecdotes, etc.During the Heian period, the illustrations of novels known as monogatari-e became very fashionable at court, contributing to the professionalisation and improvement of the art of emaki which reached its maturity around the second half of the 12th century.

Nezame Monogatari Emaki

Prompt: Focus on Nezame Monogatari Emaki and explain the Description.

The emakimono illustrates the Yoru no Nezame, a prose novel recounting the vicissitudes of life at the court of a young courtesan named Nakanokimi or Nezame, and constantly immersing the reader in Nezame's thoughts and feelings. The story centers on the romance between Nezame and a court counsellor (a Chūnagon), by whom she becomes pregnant, but there are many obstacles that make this love impossible, including the fact that the counsellor is promised to Nezame's older sister, Ōigimi. Nezame is therefore forced to marry another man older than herself, for whom she develops a certain affection in the absence of love.Only one fairly damaged scroll remains of the emakimono. It includes five sections of prose text and four illustrations, for a total length of 528 cm (208 in) and a height of 25.8 cm (10.2 in). The scroll probably covers the last part of the novel. The author and the sponsor are unknown.The first scene is dominated by Japanese cherry trees against a rich background sprinkled with dust of gold, silver and mica. Three young girls, one playing the flute and two holding a fan, sit under the trees. The lower left part reveals the interior of a rich house. The significance of the scene is uncertain, but it may be Nezame's visit to his beautiful daughter. The second scene shows a courtesan resting on a veranda under a Wisteria plant. Two people are playing music at the top of the stage, while Masako, Nezame's son, appears in the lower right corner. This is undoubtedly the visit of Masako to Sadaijin-no-nyōgo, wife of the Emperor. The third scene is that of Masako's visit to a courtesan to whom he wishes to declare his love. A reflection of the moon appears fleetingly in the garden stream, while the figures are visible through the openings of the veranda on the left. The fourth scene shows the emperor speaking with a priest about Nezame's letter; unlike the other scenes, the atmosphere here is religious and solemn.

Nezame Monogatari Emaki

Prompt: Focus on Nezame Monogatari Emaki and explain the Style and composition.

The paintings in the emakimono fit within the onna-e genre of the Yamato-e style fashionable from the 12th century to the end of the Heian period. Onna-e paintings are generally very stylized, elegant and refined, with rich, opaque colour used to represent the peaceful, romantic and often nostalgic atmosphere of the lives of the ladies at the Imperial Court.The pictorial style is close to that of the Genji Monogatari Emaki (c. 1120-1140), the most famous work of the onna-e genre. In particular, both paintings are effectuated according to the tsukuri-e (constructed painting) method. A first sketch of the scene is made in India ink, then the colour is applied in a precise order, from the large areas in the background to the final details, following the instructions of the master sometimes annotated directly on the paper. Finally, the outlines are drawn again or enhanced in ink to accentuate the depth.The so-called fukinuki yatai technique, involving the removal of building roofs, was used to depict both the interior of a building and its exterior, be it a garden or a veranda, in the same scene. The faces are realised according to the hikime kagibana technique typical of onna-e, that is to say that the faces are represented in abstract ways, with three lines (for the eyes and the nose) on a white background.The Nezame Monogatari Emaki appears to be more decorative than the Genji Monogatari Emaki, incorporating, e.g., silver and gold powder in the painting, and softer colours. Angles are also more abrupt in composition. The representation of nature is remarkable in these paintings: very elaborate, it subtly emphasises the feelings of the characters as well as a certain melancholy, ultimately taking precedence over the characters. As is often the case in Japanese painting, the season is clearly portrayed; here, spring is represented by cherry blossoms and wisteria.

Nezame Monogatari Emaki

Prompt: Focus on Nezame Monogatari Emaki and explain the Provenance.

The Nezame Monogatari Emaki is one of the few remaining examples of monogatari-e of the Heian period, and, together with the Genji Monogatari Emaki, one of the oldest examples of onna-e of the Imperial Court. It testifies to the refinement achieved by narrative court painting at the end of the Heian period, which heralds the golden age of the emakimono. Since 22 November 1962, it has been classified as one of the National Treasures of Japan. The work is stored at the Museum of Japanese Art (Yamato Bunkakan) in Nara.The original text of Yoru no Nezame is lost nowadays, and only parts of it are known from copies; as the texts of the scroll were probably directly inspired by the original novel, the scroll presents a certain literary importance for the study and the comprehension of the original text.A copy from the Edo period made by Kanō Osanobu (Kanō school) is held by the Tokyo National Museum.

Adam and Eve (Valadon)

Prompt: Focus on Adam and Eve (Valadon) and explain the History and description.

Valadon was in a romantic relationship with the painter André Utter, who was 24 years younger, when she created this painting. In it she depicts herself, appearing younger than she was at the time, and Utter as Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The original canvas showed Utter completely nude, but the artist decided to add the leaves covering his genitals to allow her work to be exhibited at the Salon in 1920. It is important to notice that they both do not realize they are nude as Suzanne depicts them as Adam has his hand on Eve's wrist begging her to not eat the forbidden fruit. This is the first painting that Valadon created depicting an outdoors scene. It is also believed to have been the first painting by a female artist portraying a nude couple that was exhibited publicly. In the painting Eve reaches happily for the apple, while she is entwined with Adam. There is no serpent in the painting. It can be interpreted as a metaphor for Valadon's relationship with a younger man, as if it was the forbidden fruit.According to biographer Catherine Hewitt: "The couple, Suzanne confessed, were caught in a timeless paradise and they were both responsible for their sin".

The works dates to Carpaccio's mature period, when he was commissioned by the "scuola" (guild or corporation) of the Schiavoni (Dalmatians) to execute a cycle of nine paintings narrating the stories of their patron saints (George, Jerome, Augustine and Tryphon). The work began in 1502 and was completed in 1508.In the 1940s, the paintings underwent restoration that has since discoloured Carpaccio's original vibrant palette to amber tones. Some works have also partially detached from their canvas support and have areas of lifting and flaking paint, as well as scratches and abrasions. In September 2019, an expected two-year conservation campaign began under the sponsorship by the non-profit organization Save Venice Inc.

St. George and the Dragon (Carpaccio)

Prompt: Focus on St. George and the Dragon (Carpaccio) and explain the Description.

The painting shows the first of the three episodes dedicated to St. George's life: the other two are the Triumph of St. George and the Baptism of the Selenites. St. George is portrayed while riding a horse above a wide background, his lance piercing the dragon's head. On the right is a praying princess. A diagonal line connects the princess head, passing through the lance, to the twisted tail of the dragon.The arid terrain of a desert, with a few bunches of herbs, is covered with the remains of the dragon's victims: the  scrawny stump of a woman, a half-devoured dress, a man with amputated limbs, a severed foot and arm, skulls and bones, both of animals and humans. The inhospitality of the place is further enhanced by the presence of vipers, lizards, toads, vultures, as well by the nearly monocromatic use of yellow and pale greens: the only bright tones are those associated with George's metal armor, the horse's harness and the princess' dress.On the left side of the painting, even nature is dead. Behind the dragon’s wings a tree stump is surrounded by a scorched plant bed. Half of the leaves have been burned off on the farthest tree while on its right side they are alive. As much as, on the right side of the painting, the trees on top and in front of the arched rocks are alive and green, confirming that the dragon's presence is deadly to both humans and nature.In the background is a fantastic city, Silene of Libya. A crowd is looking at the scene from terraces and open pavilions. The hills, featuring castles and rocky spurs, slope down to a harbor where there is a grounded ship and a vessel crowned by a natural arch of edifices, which has parallels with fantastic creations in the Ferrara school.

Miracle of the Jealous Husband

Prompt: Focus on Miracle of the Jealous Husband and explain the abstract.

The Miracle of the Jealous Husband   is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Titian, executed in 1511 as part of the decoration of the Scuola del Santo in Padua, northern Italy.It portrays a man stabbing his wife after she has been unjustly accused of adultery. When the man discovers the truth, he begs for pardon to St. Anthony, who resuscitates the woman (this scene is portrayed in smaller size on the right). The idyllic background is inspired by Giorgione's paintings.The young Titian described the volume of the wife's raised arm, in the center of the action, by actually sculpting it in relief rather than describing it illusionistically.

Christ and Saint Thomas (Verrocchio)

Prompt: Focus on Christ and Saint Thomas (Verrocchio) and explain the abstract.

Christ and Saint Thomas (1467–1483) is a bronze statue by Andrea del Verrocchio made for one of the fourteen niches on the exterior walls of the Orsanmichele in Florence, Italy. It is now replaced in that location by a cast and the original has been moved inside the building, which is now a museum. The sculpture shows the Incredulity of Saint Thomas, a subject frequently represented in Christian art since at least the 5th century and used to make a variety of theological points. Thomas the Apostle doubted the resurrection of Jesus and had to feel the wounds for himself in order to be convinced (John 20:24–29). The surrounding marble niche was originally designed by Donatello for his Saint Louis of Toulouse (1413), but that statue was moved to Santa Croce when the niche was sold to the Tribunale di Mercanzia (merchants' guild), who commissioned the replacement from Verrocchio.The sculpture was the first narrative-based work to appear at Orsanmichele. In its execution Verrocchio showed sophisticated knowledge of the style and substance of classical sculpture. The figures were cast without backs (i.e., not in the round) as they were only to be viewed from the front. This had the added benefits of saving on bronze (which was roughly ten times more expensive than marble), and of making the work lighter and easier to fit into the niche.The interaction between the characters of Christ and Saint Thomas show a strong sense of movement and dialogue.  Differences between the mortal and the immortal are highlighted with Christ's passive, almost regal stance and the agitated and nervous disposition of the doubting Thomas.Part of the remit of the Mercanzia was to be a judicial, overseeing body; the theme of Christ and Saint Thomas would therefore have been attractive to them as it concerned proof and the presentation of reliable evidence.

Prompt: Focus on The Rocket (painting) and explain the Background.

Edward Middleton Manigault (1887–1922) was considered an experimental, visionary artist and today he is seen as an early representative of the Modernist movement from Canada and America. He was born in London, Ontario.The artist may have been inspired by the sight of firework displays along the Hudson River in the fall of 1909, commemorating Henry Hudson's discovery of the river in 1609 and the launching of Robert Fulton's steamboat Clermont in 1807. This was one of the first steamboats, and the first one to float on the Hudson.
