Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641) "Saint Rosalia interceding on behalf of the plague victims of Palermo" (1624) Oil on canvas Baroque Located in the Menil Collection, Houston, Texas, United States Rosalia (1130–1166), also called La Santuzza, or "The Little Saint," and in Sicilian as "Rusulia", is the patron saint of Palermo in Italy, Camargo, Chihuahua, and three towns in Venezuela: El Hatillo, Zuata, and El Playon. She is especially important internationally as a saint invoked in times of plague. In 1624, a plague beset Palermo. During this hardship Rosalia reportedly appeared first to a sick woman, then to a hunter, to whom she indicated where her remains were to be found. She ordered him to bring her bones to Palermo and have them carried in procession through the city. The hunter climbed the mountain and found her bones in the cave as described. He did what she had asked in the apparition. After her remains were carried around the city three times, the plague ceased. Rosalia was then venerated as the patron saint of Palermo, and a sanctuary was built in the cave where her remains were discovered. Her post-1624 iconography is dominated by the work of the Flemish painter Anthony van Dyck, who was trapped in the city during the 1624–1625 quarantine.

SET ONE - ROUND TWO - MATCH FOUR

"Can’t Help Myself" (2016 - Sun Yuan & Peng Yu) / "Rape" (1934 - René Magritte)

CAN'T HELP MYSELF: It’s better to watch a video of it in action. It’s a large robot arm that’s only programmed to repeatedly sweep a pool of red liquid around it. But its task is never done, the liquid eventually oozes back out onto the floor. It just makes me so sad, the futility of its work. Brilliantly, the artists even programmed it to do little gestures during its work. Sometimes the arm will shake or almost wave at the audience. So it feels less mechanical, like it has a personality. People have interpreted it to symbolize many ideas. Like the futility of violence, and those who are tasked with the endless recovery and clean up. It could be about worker exploitation, the dehumanization of victims of violence, policing borders. Regardless of what it means, I feel pity whenever I see it. (nicolaleecallahan)

RAPE: It is a beautifully provocative painting about the desecration of the female body, both physically and symbolically. He painted this piece as a tribute to his mother, whose body was found in a river after she committed suicide, entirely nude except for a nightgown wrapped around her face, obscuring her identity and leaving her corpse, to the eyes of the public, as an inhuman sexual thing with no humanity. GAH IT HURTS!! THE WAY THAT HER FACE IS REPLACED WITH A NUDE FIGURE BECAUSE THAT’S ALL THAT SHE WAS POSTHUMOUSLY. GAAAAH. (townesorsomething)

("Can't Help Myself" is a Kuka industrial robot made of stainless steel and rubber mopping up cellulose ether in coloured water made by two Chinese artists, Sun Yuan & Peng Yu. This installation was displayed in Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York but was removed from display.

"Rape" is an oil on canvas painting done by the Belgian artist René Magritte. It measures 73.3 x 54.6 cm (29 x 21 in) and is located with the Menil Collection in Texas.)
