Probably the most famous cottage in the world, 1890

Willy Lott's Cottage was immortalised by John Constable in several paintings , notably 'The Hay Wain'. The painting was originally titled Landscape: Noon, and was completed in 1821. It depicts a rural scene on the River Stour between the English counties of Suffolk and Essex, and hangs in the National Gallery in London. The work is regarded as "Constable's most famous image" and one of the greatest and most popular English paintings. The cottage takes its name from its resident at the time John Constable did his paintings; at that time, the house was known as Gibeons Farm. William Lott (1761 - 1849), a tenant farmer, resided at Gibeons Farm and spent only four nights away from this house in the whole of his life. The earliest part of the building is sixteenth century. It was restored in the 1920s after a revival of interest in Constable's paintings. The cottage is located on the bank of the River Stour, just downstream from Flatford Mill in the heart of Dedham Vale, a typically English rural landscape.

In this photograph it's place is further cemented into hstory by the The Ipswich and District Photographic Society, who set-up this group picture in 1890, just 53 years after the death of John Constable, who died on the night of 31st March 1837, and was buried in the graveyard of St John-at-Hampstead Church in Hampstead in London.

In a couple of years time John Constable's idyllic view of the English countryside will have it's bicentennial celebration, and tourists will gather at this iconic building in Suffolk, lovingly restored, and looked after by the National Trust.

This is my colourised version of the sepia toned picture taken in 1890

London's First Professional Police Force

London’s First Professional Police Force

While scanning Amazon Prime offerings one evening, I had a rare experience. I came across a BBC series I had not previously viewed. I Googled the title and read that it was well researched despite compressing timeframes of events and characters, so I binge watched City of Vice.  It was riveting. It also rekindled an interest in a subject found in but not always deeply explored by many beloved…

APHRODISIAS Ancient City. Geyre/Turkey – Tetrapylon

"Historical monuments are the common heritage of mankeni" Aphrodisias added Unesco Heritage List.

Three new sites and two extensions added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

whc.unesco.org/en/list/1519

Aphrodisias Located in southwestern Turkey, in the upper valley of the Morsynus River, the site consists of two components: the archaeological site of Aphrodisias and the marble quarries northeast of the city. The temple of Aphrodite dates from the 3rd century BCE and the city was built one century later. The wealth of Aphrodisias came from the marble quarries and the art produced by its sculptors. The city streets are arranged around several large civic structures, which include temples, a theatre, an agora, and two bath complexes.

tetrapylon (Greek: τετράπυλον, "four gates"), plural tetrapyla, known in Latin as a "quadrifrons" (literally "four fronts"), is a type of ancient Roman monument of cubic shape, with a gate on each of the four sides: generally it was built on a crossroads. It was a type of monument common to the architectural vernacular of classical antiquity. The defining quality of this form is the concept of four gates, with four pillars or other supporting structures placed at the corners marking the divisions between them. A tetrapylon could take the form of a single building or multiple, separate structures. They were built as landmarks at significant crossroads or geographical ‘focal points’, as a ‘sub-type’ of the Roman triumphal arch, or simply as decorative and aesthetically pleasing ornamental architecture. As applied to a triumphal arch (e.g., the Mausoleum of the Julii at Glanum, Arch of Janus, Rutupiae), a tetrapylon was effectively a ‘doubling’ of the original form; with a total of four major arched openings, one on each side of the structure (one pair of openings opposite each other along one axis, and a second pair of openings of equal or lesser prominence perpendicular to the first pair; hence a structure with two barrel vaulted passageways, in the form of a cross).

Aphrodisias lies in southwestern Turkey, in the fertile valley of the Dandalas River, a tributary of the Meander, about 150 kilometres east (inland) of the Aegean Sea. It is situated at the base of the Babadag mountain range, at 500 m above sea level. The city was the capital of the ancient Roman province of Caria. The ancient city of Aphrodisias is one of the most important archaeological sites of the Greek and Roman periods in Turkey. Famous in antiquity for its sanctuary of Aphrodite, the city’s patron goddess, Aphrodisias enjoyed a long and prosperous existence from the second century B.C. through the sixth century A.D. Today, many of the city’s ancient monuments remain standing, and excavations have unearthed numerous fine marble statues and other artifacts. The great beauty and extraordinary preservation of this site combine to bring the civic culture of the Greco-Roman world vividly to life. Aphrodisias was founded on the site of an ancient local sanctuary in the second century B.C., according to the date of the earliest coins and inscriptions found in the site. In the late first century B.C., the city came under the personal protection of the Roman emperor Augustus, and a long period of growth and good fortune ensued. The first several centuries A.D. were especially prosperous, and most of the surviving buildings of the city date to this period. In the fourth century, Aphrodisias became the capital of the Roman province of Caria. The cosmopolitan character of the age is demonstrated by the presence in this city of an active Jewish community, attested in a famous inscription listing benefactors of the local Synagogue. The first systematic excavations at the site were begun in 1961 under the aegis of New York University, and yielded many remains of the city’s central monuments. In addition to the Temple of Aphrodite, major areas of investigation included the Bouleuterion or Council House, and the Sebasteion. The Sebasteion, a religious sanctuary dedicated to Aphrodite and the Roman emperors, is one of the most remarkable discoveries of Roman archaeology. It is one of the best-preserved examples of a Roman imperial cult complex, and is decorated with an extraordinary series of life-size marble reliefs (originally almost 200), which depict Roman emperors and imperial family members from ca. A.D. 20 to 60, as well as, personifications of the subject peoples of the Roman empire, and mythological heroes and gods. The reliefs provide an unparalleled insight into how Roman imperial power was understood from a local perspective. Other important public buildings are the Theatre, the Hadrianic Baths, and the Stadium; the latter seated 30,000 people, and is the best-preserved of all ancient stadiums. The buildings of the site are remarkable not only for the preservation of their architecture, but also for the many inscriptions, statues, reliefs, and other objects associated with them. Aphrodisias is well-known for its fine sculpture. Good marble quarries are located only a few kilometres away from the city, and by the Late Hellenistic period, a strong local tradition of marble sculpture had already taken root. In later generations, Aphrodisian sculptors are known to have worked abroad on prestigious commissions, for example, at Hadrian’s villa at Tivoli. The sculpture from the site is characterized by virtuosity and variety. Excavation has uncovered statues of, for example, gods, heroes, emperors, orators, philosophers, and boxers, as well as a great range of ornamental and figured relief. The finds range from grave reliefs of the second century B.C. to statues of the last Roman governors of the sixth century A.D. Many sculptures from the site already occupy key positions in the history of ancient art. The studies for a site management plan were started according to a protocol between the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Geyre Foundation dated to 08.11.2007.

Prof. Kenan Erim (b. 1924 – d. November 4, 1990),

Turkish archaeologist whose name is closely identified with Aphrodisias excavations (in Karacasu town of Aydın, Geyre district). He is the son of a diplomat and after studying in Switzerland he attained New York University from 1948 on, after his father was appointed to work for Permanent Mission of Turkey to the United Nations. He graduated from Classical Archaeology department in 1953 and received his M.A. and doctorate from Princeton University. He assisted well known archaeologist Professor Karl Erik Sjoquist during the excavations in Morgantina, Sicily, which were carried out by a team from Princeton. In time, he developed a keen interest in the works of sculptor artisans known as Aphrodisias school. In 1961, he personally organized a discovery and excavation program and initiated the modern research in Aphrodisias.

He was a Classic Age professor in New York University and the chief of Aphrodisias excavations until his death. He made the made the most valuable contributions to the worldwide fame of Aphrodisias with his travels, writings and lectures, and his efforts to provide finance, especially American finance in the excavations are indispensable. He passed away on November 4th, 1990. His grave is in Geyre. Aphrodisias excavations are still being carried on spiritedly.
