HEY GIRLIE

When this moment happened at the end of the Frosty Faire Folk Festival, I knew I wanted to give it the religious iconography treatment it deserved. Inspired by ‘The Annunciation’ by Luca Giordano (though I was pretty sure the vulture wasn’t about to tell Kristen she was going to give birth to the savior.)

Italian Art Exhibitions in 2019

The new year will see a wonderful array of exhibitions of Italian art going on display, with several unmissable shows coming up! Here’s a selection of some of the best to see:

First and foremost, 2019 marks the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci with a host of exhibitions and events organised across museums and galleries internationally to celebrate the multifarious and fascinating work of the master.

Leonardo da Vinci, Annunciation, around 1472, Uffizi.

Celebrations kicked off late last year at the Uffizi with Water as Microscope of Nature: Leonardo da Vinci’s Codex Leicester (until 20 January), while the paintings the Baptism of Christ, Annunciation and The Adoration of the Magi can be viewed in their new climate-controlled room.

The Louvre will be hosting a blockbuster show of Leonardo’s work this Autumn. In addition to the museum’s own exceptional holdings, including the Mona Lisa, The Virgin of the Rocks and La Belle Ferronnière, the exhibition will bring together as many of Leonardo’s extant paintings as possible, alongside drawings and sculpture, interpreted with latest findings from documentary and conservation research.

Galleries across the UK have collaborated on an unprecedented nationwide event Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing (from February 2019). 144 of the master’s most important drawings, selected from the outstanding group housed in the Royal Collection, will go on display at twelve venues across the UK. This nationwide tour will culminate in May at the Queen’s Gallery London and November in Edinburgh at The Queen's Gallery, Palace of Holyroodhouse.

Leonardo Da Vinci’s The Last Supper for Francis I, a masterpiece in Silk and Silver (6 June-8 September 2019) will display an exceptional loan from the Vatican Museums at Leonardo’s last home where he died on 2 May 1519. Woven for Louise of Savoy and her son, the future Francis I before 1514, this is the first time since the sixteenth century that the monumental nine-metre long tapestry has been loaned. An extensive programme of events are being held across the Loire Valley, for which a dedicated website can be found here.

The major venues of Milan will be partaking in ‘Milano e Leonardo’, a city-wide programme of events held across the Castello Sforzesco, Palazzo Reale, Il Polo Museale Regionale della Lombardia, Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia, Fondazione Stelline and Biblioteca Ambrosiana. Highlights include the re-opening of the Sala delle Asse within the Castello Sforzesco, where visitors can admire Leonardo’s decorative fresco scheme for the hall, commissioned by Ludovico il Moro in 1498. The sala will host Leonardo e la Sala delle Asse tra natura, arte e scienza (16 May-18 August 2019), an examination of the iconographic and stylistic inspirations for Leonardo’s decoration of the hall, explored through drawings by the master and other Renaissance artists. At the Fondazione Stelline, L'Ultima Cena dopo Leonardo (April-June 2019) will explore the wide-ranging influence of Leonardo on contemporary artists.

In a joint venture between Florence’s Bargello and Palazzo Strozzi, the work of Leonardo’s master Andrea del Verrocchio as a painter, sculptor, goldsmith and draughtsman will be brought together for Verrocchio: Master of Leonardo (9 March 2019-14 July 2019).

While Leonardo steals the limelight this year, important retrospectives of other Italian Renaissance artists includes Tintoretto: Artist of Renaissance Venice (10 March-7 July 2019) at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, organised together with the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia with the collaboration of the Gallerie dell’Accademia. Celebrating the 500th anniversary of the birth of Jacopo Tintoretto, this is the first retrospective of the artist in North America, travelling from the Palazzo Ducale, Venice, where it showed last year. 

The Hermitage’s Piero della Francesca: Monarch of Painting is on until 20 March and is the largest exhibition of the artist’s works with 11 pieces on display. 

The major exponent of the Friulian Renaissance art, Giovanni Antonio de’ Sacchis, known as Il Pordenone, will be the subject of a major exhibition event to celebrate the 500th anniversary of his birth. Orchestrated as a cultural itinerary of the artist’s works throughout the Friulian region, the exhibition’s principal venue at the Galleria Pizzinato in the artist’s birthplace of Pordenone, will situate the artist’s work alongside contemporaries including Titian, Giorgione and Lorenzo Lotto.

At the Petit Palais, Paris, Luca Giordano (1634-1705): le Triomphe du Baroque Napolitain (October 2019-January 2020) presents a major retrospective devoted to the greatest master of seventeenth-century Neapolitan painting, featuring exceptional loans from the Capodimonte museum and other European venues.

The Royal Academy of Arts, London explores The Renaissance Nude (3 March-2 June 2019), charting the emergence of the nude figure as a crucial theme in European art.

Moving to the nineteenth century, the Drents Museum in Assen, Netherlands, will display Sprezzatura – Fifty Years of Italian Painting (1860-1910) (2 June- 3 November 2019) showcasing works from over forty late-nineteenth-century Italian painters such as Federico Zandomeneghi and Giovanni Segantini.

Fausto Melotti: Counterpoint (16 January 2019-7 April 2019) at the Estorick Collection, London, is the first UK retrospective of Fausto Melotti (1901-1986), a member of the Abstraction-Création movement known for his elegant, geometrical sculptures based on the principals of music and mathematics.

This one is a part the rest of my series of paintings. This one is based off of "the annunciation " painting by Luca Giordano. I chose this painting because the energy from the turtle comes to orochi, like the angel came to Mary. The energy being raideemaeak coming to orochi as he is struck with awe is representation of how he feels about his powers as he discovers them.

MARY'S ANNUNCIATION

On the day upon which the Church celebrates the feast, I had a vision of Mary's Annunciation.

I saw the Blessed Virgin a short time after her marriage in the house of

Nazareth. Joseph was not there. He was at that moment journeying with

two beasts of burden on the road to Tiberias, whither he was going to get

his tools. But Anne was in the house with her maid and two of the virgins

who had been with Mary in the Temple. Everything in the house had been

newly arranged by Anne. Toward evening, they all prayed standing

around a circular stool from which they afterward ate vegetables that had

been served. Anne seemed to be very busy about the household affairs,

and for a time she moved around here and there, while the Blessed Virgin

ascended the steps to her room. There she put on a long, white, woollen

garment, such as it was customary to wear during prayer, a girdle around

her waist, and a yellowish-white veil over her head. The maid entered,

lighted the branched lamp, and retired. Mary drew out a little, low table,

which stood folded by the wall, and placed it in the center of the room. It

had a semicircular leaf, which could be raised on a movable support so

that when ready for use the little table stood on three legs. Mary spread

upon it a red and then a white, transparent cover, which hung down on

the side opposite the leaf. It was fringed at the end and embroidered in

the center. A white cover was spread on the rounded edge. When the

little table was prepared, Mary laid a small, round cushion before it and,

resting both hands on the leaf, she gently sank on her knees, her back

turned to her couch, the door of the chamber to her right. The floor was

carpeted. Mary lowered her veil over her face, and folded her hands, but

not the fingers, upon her breast. I saw her praying for a long time with

intense fervor. She prayed for Redemption, for the promised King, and

that her own supplications might have some influence upon His coming.

She knelt long, as if in ecstasy, her face raised to Heaven; then she

drooped her head upon her breast and thus continued her prayer.

And now she glanced to the. right and beheld a radiant youth with flowing, yellow hair. It was the archangel Gabriel. His feet did not touch the ground. In an oblique line and surrounded by an effulgence of light and glory, he came floating down to Mary. The lamp grew dim, for the whole room was lighted up by the glory.

The angel, with hands gently raised before his breast, spoke to Mary. I saw the words like letters of glittering light issuing from his lips. Mary replied, but without looking up. Then the angel again spoke and Mary, as if in obedience to his command, raised her veil a little, glanced at him, and said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done unto me according to thy word!" I saw her now in deeper ecstasy. The ceiling of the room vanished, and over the house appeared a luminous cloud with a pathway of light leading up from it to the opened heavens. Far up in the source of this light, I beheld a vision of the Most Holy Trinity. It was like a triangle of glory, and I thought that I saw therein the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

As Mary uttered the words: "May it be done unto me according to thy

word!" I saw an apparition of the Holy Ghost. The countenance was

human and the whole apparition environed by dazzling splendor, as if

surrounded by wings. From the breast and hands, I saw issuing three

streams of light. They penetrated the right side of the Blessed Virgin and

united into one under her heart. At that instant Mary became perfectly

transparent and luminous. It was as if opacity disappeared like darkness

before that flood of light.

While the angel and with him the streams of glory vanished, I saw down

the path of light that led up to Heaven, showers of half-blown roses and

tiny green leaves falling upon Mary. She, entirely absorbed in self, saw in

herself the Incarnate Son of God, a tiny, human form of light with all the

members, even to the little fingers perfect. It was about midnight that I

saw this mystery.

Some time elapsed, and then Anne and the other women entered Marys

room, but when they beheld her in ecstasy they immediately withdrew.

The Blessed Virgin then arose, stepped to the little altar on the wall, let

down the picture of a swathed child that was rolled above it, and prayed

standing under the lamp before it. Only toward morning did she lie down.

Mary was at this time a little over fourteen years old.

An intuitive knowledge of what had taken place was conferred upon Anne.

Mary knew that she had conceived the Redeemer, yes, her interior lay

open before her, and so she already understood that her Sons kingdom

should be a supernatural one, and that the House of Jacob, the Church,

would be the reunion of regenerate mankind. She knew that the

Redeemer would be the King of His people, that He would purify them and

render them victorious; but that in order to redeem them He must suffer

and die.

It was explained to me likewise why the Redeemer remained nine months

in His mothers womb, why He was born a little child and not a perfect

man like Adam, and why also He did not take the beauty of Adam in

Paradise. The Incarnate Son of God willed to be conceived and born that

conception and birth, rendered so very unholy by the Fall, might again

become holy. Mary was His Mother, and He did not come sooner because

Mary was the first and the only woman conceived without sin. Jesus when

put to death was thirty4hree years, four months, and two weeks old.

I thought all the while: Here in Nazareth, things are different from what

they are in Jerusalem. There the women dare not set foot in the Temple,

but here in this church at Nazareth, a virgin is herself the Temple and the

Most Holy rests in her.

The Angelus Prayer (English)

V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.

R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

The Lord is with Thee;

Blessed art thou among women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners,

Now and at the hour of our death. Amen

V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.

R. Be it done unto me according to thy word.

Hail Mary. . .

V. And the Word was made flesh.

R. And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary. . .

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray: Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ Thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

The Angelus Prayer (Latin)

V. Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariae.

R. Et concepit de Spiritu Sancto.

Ave Maria, gratia plena; Dominus tecum: benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

V. Ecce ancilla Domini,

R. Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum.

Ave Maria. . .

V. Et Verbum caro factum est,

R. Et habitavit in nobis.

Ave Maria. . .

V. Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genetrix,

R. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.

Oremus. Gratiam tuam, quaesumus, Domine, mentibus nostris infunde; ut qui, Angelo nuntiante, Christi Filii tui incarnationem cognovimus, per passionem eius et crucem ad resurrectionis gloriam perducamur. Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
