Habakkuk and the Angel (Bernini)

Prompt: Focus on Habakkuk and the Angel (Bernini) and explain the History.

Gian Lorenzo Bernini began to work in the chapel in 1652 for Fabio Chigi, the cardinal-priest of the basilica. His patron was elected pope under the name of Alexander VII in 1655 giving a fresh impetus for the reconstruction of the funerary chapel. At the time the two niches at the sides of the main altar were still empty while the other two on the left and right of the entrance were filled with the statues of Lorenzetto created after Raphael's design: Jonah and the Whale and Elijah.A surviving drawing from the workshop of Bernini proves that the architect at first planned to move the two Raphaelesque statues to the empty niches by the altar but soon he changed his mind. He created two new statues depicting the Prophet Daniel and Habakkuk, and these sculptures formed a larger composition facing each other diagonally across the space of the chapel. Bernini created a spatial relationship that enlivened the entire chapel, turning its classical form to a new religious use.The statue of Habakkuk was placed in the niche to right of the main altar. The sculpture was set up in its place in November 1661 but Bernini was working on it since October 1656.A terracotta model for the statue also survived in the Vatican Museums. Since being cleaned in the 1980s it has been attributed to Bernini himself but Dickerson and Sigel thought to be the work of an assistant, probably Ercole Ferrata who was working with Bernini around the time of the creation of the Habakkuk.

Habakkuk and the Angel (Bernini)

Prompt: Focus on Habakkuk and the Angel (Bernini) and explain the Description.

In spite of the narrow niche Bernini produced a lively and dramatic composition. Habakkuk is seated on a rock with his lunch basket at his side and pointing towards the direction he wants to go, while the young and beautiful angel is leaning out of the niche, lifting Habakkuk's head by his hair and pointing toward Daniel on the other side of the chapel. The prophet is portrayed as a bearded, older but still strong man.Bernini depicted a story from the Book of Daniel which tells how God saved Daniel from starving through the miraculous appearance of Prophet Habakkuk in the lions' den (Daniel 14:33-36):"Now the prophet Habakkuk was in Judea; he had made a stew and had broken bread into a bowl, and was going into the field to take it to the reapers. But the angel of the Lord said to Habakkuk, “Take the food that you have to Babylon, to Daniel, in the lions’ den.” Habakkuk said, “Sir, I have never seen Babylon, and I know nothing about the den.” Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown of his head and carried him by his hair; with the speed of the wind he set him down in Babylon, right over the den."After the grateful Daniel ate his dinner, the angel of the Lord carried Habakkuk back to his place. This story is part of the Greek Additions to Daniel comprising chapter 14 in the Vulgate. Iconographically the statue of Habakkuk has its counterpart in the chapel in the Raphaelesque statue of Elijah which also shows a prophet saved from hunger by the angel of the Lord.Another reason why Bernini probably chose to picture this episode is that the Chigi Library contained the only known Septuagint text of the Book of Daniel from which the story was drawn, the Codex Chisianus 45. Curiously two early guides of the basilica, those of Alberici (1600) and Landucci (1646), identified the then-existing statues of the chapel as Jonah and Habakkuk, instead of their real subjects, Jonah and Elijah. The mistake could be an indication that a statue of Habakkuk had been part of the iconographic program of the chapel at an earlier stage.

Guardian (sculpture)

Prompt: Focus on Guardian (sculpture) and explain the Construction and moiré effect.

Costing in excess of £200,000, Guardian is made from over 20,000 horizontal strips of a special 10 mm (0.4 in) thick COR-TEN weathering steel, which allows a protective rust patina to form on its surface. Each strip is separated from but connected to the next so that, from a distance, The Guardian appears almost transparent. Close up and from the appropriate angle, the gaps between the strips disappear to give the appearance of a solid sculpture with full definition of all of its features. This style of construction creates a moiré effect where the steel sections appear to move or shimmer in the light. The statue itself is 12.6 m (41 ft) tall, weighs around eight tonnes and stands on a sandstone plinth 7.4 m (24 ft) tall. It has been compared to Sir Antony Gormley's Angel of the North.

Yonker Ramp and His Sweetheart

Prompt: Focus on Yonker Ramp and His Sweetheart and explain the Name.

The painting was for a long time considered to be a portrait of a young ensign of the Haarlem schutterij, Pieter Ramp. This has been rejected however as the female shows a strong resemblance to the young woman portrayed in Hals' Shrovetide Revellers. Both are considered to be genre works today, so the models could be anyone in Hals circle such as his children or pupils. In his 1910 catalog of Frans Hals works Hofstede de Groot noted this painting had a copy in London and wrote:139. JUNKER RAMP AND HIS GIRL. B. 13 ; M. 209.- In an interior a young cavalier, seen to the hips, stands facing three-quarters right. He wears a doublet with lace collar and wristbands, and a broad-brimmed hat with a plume. In his right hand he holds up a wine-glass, at which he laughs heartily. He grasps with his left hand the head of a dog, which is in the right-hand bottom corner. Behind him to the right stands a girl who smiles at the spectator. She lays her right hand on his right shoulder, and touches his left shoulder with her left hand. In the right background is a chimney-piece with two long pictures. In front of it a young man comes forward; he looks towards the left and carries something. On the left, beside the chimney-piece, hangs another picture. Signed on the edge of the chimney-piece, F. Hals 1623; canvas on panel, 42 inches by 31 inches. A repetition of this picture is in the Heseltine collection [see 140]. Sales. J. A. Versijden van Varick, Leyden, October 29, 1791, No. 103 (130 florins). Copes van Hasselt of Haarlem, Amsterdam, April 20, 1880, No. 1. Pourtales, Paris. In the possession of the London dealer Duveen. In the collection of B. Altman, New York. In his 1989 catalog of the international Frans Hals exhibition (which did not include this painting because it can never be lent out) Slive claimed it is the only genre work by Hals that is dated. Slive did mention in his discussion of Hals' Four evangelists that another interpretation is possible, namely that this painting could possibly be a Hals interpretation of the biblical Prodigal son. In the same year that Slive was writing, Claus Grimm rejected the attribution of this painting to Frans Hals, though he conceded it was probably after a painting by Hals, calling it a copy of a lost original.Hals' positioning of the two figures with a major figure accompanied by "an accomplice" was common to many of his paintings of the 1620s:

The painting was for a long time considered to be a portrait of a young ensign of the Haarlem schutterij, Pieter Ramp. This has been rejected however as the female shows a strong resemblance to the young woman portrayed in Hals' Shrovetide Revellers. Both are considered to be genre works today, so the models could be anyone in Hals circle such as his children or pupils. In his 1910 catalog of Frans Hals works Hofstede de Groot noted this painting had a copy in London and wrote:139. JUNKER RAMP AND HIS GIRL. B. 13 ; M. 209.- In an interior a young cavalier, seen to the hips, stands facing three-quarters right. He wears a doublet with lace collar and wristbands, and a broad-brimmed hat with a plume. In his right hand he holds up a wine-glass, at which he laughs heartily. He grasps with his left hand the head of a dog, which is in the right-hand bottom corner. Behind him to the right stands a girl who smiles at the spectator. She lays her right hand on his right shoulder, and touches his left shoulder with her left hand. In the right background is a chimney-piece with two long pictures. In front of it a young man comes forward; he looks towards the left and carries something. On the left, beside the chimney-piece, hangs another picture. Signed on the edge of the chimney-piece, F. Hals 1623; canvas on panel, 42 inches by 31 inches. A repetition of this picture is in the Heseltine collection [see 140]. Sales. J. A. Versijden van Varick, Leyden, October 29, 1791, No. 103 (130 florins). Copes van Hasselt of Haarlem, Amsterdam, April 20, 1880, No. 1. Pourtales, Paris. In the possession of the London dealer Duveen. In the collection of B. Altman, New York. In his 1989 catalog of the international Frans Hals exhibition (which did not include this painting because it can never be lent out) Slive claimed it is the only genre work by Hals that is dated. Slive did mention in his discussion of Hals' Four evangelists that another interpretation is possible, namely that this painting could possibly be a Hals interpretation of the biblical Prodigal son. In the same year that Slive was writing, Claus Grimm rejected the attribution of this painting to Frans Hals, though he conceded it was probably after a painting by Hals, calling it a copy of a lost original.Hals' positioning of the two figures with a major figure accompanied by "an accomplice" was common to many of his paintings of the 1620s:

The Mysteries of the Horizon

Prompt: Focus on The Mysteries of the Horizon and explain the abstract.

The Masterpiece or The Mysteries of the Horizon (French: Le Chef-d'Oeuvre ou Les mystères de l'horizon) is a 1955 Surrealist oil painting by René Magritte.The painting depicts three seemingly identical men in bowler hats. They are in an outdoor setting at twilight. Though they appear to be sharing the same space each one also seems to exist in a separate reality. Each is facing a different direction. In the sky above each figure is a separate waxing crescent moon.Men in bowler hats appear frequently in Magritte's work starting with his 1926 painting The Musings of a Solitary Walker. They are represented as having undefined or identical personalities. Magritte himself is often seen wearing a bowler hat in photographs.Magritte made a gouache in 1964 with the same subject matter, also titled Le Chef-d'Oeuvre ou les Mystères de l'Horizon (The Masterpiece or the Mysteries of the Horizon)The painting has been parodied many times, including by surrealist comedy group the Firesign Theatre on the cover of their 1977 album Just Folks... A Firesign Chat. On the parody, each member of the Firesign Theatre appears wearing a different tie but identical suits and hats. Something strange is happening to three of the four hats: one is on fire; only one has the crescent Moon above his head, and he is smoking a pipe; another's hat appears to be floating above his head. One smiles at the viewer, and there is nothing unusual about his hat.

País de volcanes

Prompt: Focus on País de volcanes and explain the abstract.

País de volcanes (lit. transl. Country of Volcanoes) is an outdoor fountain and sculpture by the Spanish-born Mexican artist Vicente Rojo Almazán, installed outside Mexico City's Secretariat of Foreign Affairs Building and next to the Memory and Tolerance Museum, in Mexico. It is a 1,000 square meters (11,000 sq ft) artwork that features 1,034 ocher-colored pyramids standing out of the water; the artwork was made with tezontle, a type of reddish volcanic rock. The central body of the fountain contains water that flows subtly down its sides to the area with the pyramids. For Jaime Moreno Villarreal of Letras Libres, the fountain is located slightly below the square level so that the viewer can appreciate the volcanic geography.Rojo got inspired on his travels across the country and by observing the mountain ranges of the country, its volcanoes and its pyramids. Rojo also commented that the fountain honors Lázaro Cárdenas, president of Mexico between 1934 and 1940, whom he called the "Benito Juárez of the 20th century". He also explained that the artwork's pink color was used "to soften the edges and to match the stone of the Corpus Christi temple".

It is a 1,000 square meters (11,000 sq ft) artwork that features 1,034 ocher-colored pyramids standing out of the water; the artwork was made with tezontle, a type of reddish volcanic rock. The central body of the fountain contains water that flows subtly down its sides to the area with the pyramids. For Jaime Moreno Villarreal of Letras Libres, the fountain is located slightly below the square level so that the viewer can appreciate the volcanic geography.Rojo got inspired on his travels across the country and by observing the mountain ranges of the country, its volcanoes and its pyramids. Rojo also commented that the fountain honors Lázaro Cárdenas, president of Mexico between 1934 and 1940, whom he called the "Benito Juárez of the 20th century". He also explained that the artwork's pink color was used "to soften the edges and to match the stone of the Corpus Christi temple".

Catharina Both-van der Eem

Prompt: Focus on Catharina Both-van der Eem and explain the Painting.

Similar to Hals' Portrait of a Woman Standing in Chatsworth House, this woman is wearing a wedding ring on her right forefinger, a figure-eight collar and lace wrist collars with gold bracelets. Her bodice is a richly embroidered Dutch wedding stomacher, and a heavy gold chain draped through a vlieger, rests on a wheel-shaped fardegalijn. Her diadem cap lacks wings and is more similar to the cap worn by Hals's unknown sitter Portrait of a Woman Standing (Kassel) and by his brewer Aletta Hannemans. Her portrait was documented by Hofstede de Groot in 1910, who wrote:155. CATHARINA BOTH VAN DER EEM, wife of Paulus Beresteyn. B. 10; M. 16. Three-quarter-length, life size. She is turned three-quarters left. She wears a lace cap, and a ruff trimmed with lace. She has a black dress with lace insertion in front and lace wristbands. Her left hand grasps her dress; her right rests on the back of a chair. In the left-hand top corner is her coat of arms. [Pendant to 154.] Inscribed, "AETA. SVAE 40 1629."; canvas, 54 inches by 40 inches. Purchased from the Hofje van Beresteyn, Haarlem, 1884, for the Louvre (100,000 francs, with 154 and the Beresteyn family group). In the Louvre, Paris, 1902 catalogue, No. 2387.Hofstede de Groot identified it as a pendant to 154. PAULUS VAN BERESTEYN (June 15, 1588-December 27, 1636). B. 9; M. 15. Three-quarters length, life size. He is in profile to the right, but the head is seen in a three-quarter view. He wears a black flowered costume, with a white lace collar like a ruff and lace wristbands. He presses his right hand to his side and leans his left hand, which holds his hat, on a table. In the right-hand top corner are the family arms. [Pendant to 155.] The first numeral in the age has been altered in the inscription below to 4, and the last numeral in the date to 9. It would be better to read 30 and 1620. The style of painting, which is similar to that of the earliest groups of marksmen at Haarlem (431-3), makes the date 1620 probable. Inscribed, "AETAT. SVAE. 40. 1629."; canvas, 54 inches by 40 inches. See Moes, Iconographia Bafava, No. 519, 2. Purchased from the Hofje van Beresteyn, Haarlem, 1884, for the Louvre (100,000 francs, with 155 and the Beresteyn family group). In the Louvre, Paris, 1902 catalogue, No. 2386.In 1974 Seymour Slive listed both paintings as pendants of each other and confirmed the Hals attribution, which had been called into question in 1970. Slive agreed with the traditional date of 1629 but felt that it could have been painted soon after the couple's marriage in 1619 as documented by E.A. van Beresteyn. He agreed with Numa S. Trivas that it was painted by Hals and not as some claimed, by Pieter Soutman. In 1989 Claus Grimm agreed with both earlier conclusions about the portrait of Paulus, but felt that Catharina's portrait was painted by Soutman.
