    Corea; a cada época, su traje

    June 10, 2013 / 2 Comments

    Será por la lejanía, tanto física como cultural, que Asia siempre fascina. Y si eso pasa ahora que internet hace que cualquier lugar del mundo esté a la vuelta de la esquina, no puedo ni imaginar en la Edad Media o el Renacimiento, cuando la única manera era coger un barco, o un caballo, y tirar millas esquivando ladrones, guerras, temporales y demás aventuras que se pusieran en tu camino. Pero claro, luego lees a Marco Polo y entiendes que la gente se arriesgara. También está el hecho de que estos países tardaran tanto en abrir sus fronteras al comercio y visitantes extranjeros (muchos de ellos todavía son muy restrictivos…

    Boys and their Toys

    April 22, 2013 / 0 Comments

    I have to admit, that despite my degree, I am not much of a news junkie. I found the news in the US entirely too depressing – as they rarely report the whole story or about anything that is worthy of the attention it is given. Seriously guys? The whole nation needs to be let in on the (what will sooner than later be considered an itty-bitty) scandal at Rutgers? Move on; leave Rutgers alone; it’s not relevant to anyone that wasn’t in that video. ::exits THAT soap box:: So, when the grapevine informed me

    In the Time of Devotion

    September 20, 2012 / 0 Comments

    What do you think of when someone mentions the Middle Ages? I’d say caves, toga-like clothing, candles, definitely a lot of candles, witches, the burning of said witches, and ceaseless devotion to God. Often, when the internet in my apartment isn’t working, I tell friends “I’m living in the Middle Ages” – which has more candles than devotion to God and witch burning. Honestly, let’s face it, what else was there to do between the 5th and 15th centuries aside from worship God, be a witch or burn them, participate in the many crusades, and wait to meet your maker? If you think about it, maybe part of the reason…

    Die Kunst der Andacht

    September 20, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Auch wenn das Mittelalter häufig als „dunkle Zeit“ bezeichnet wird, so ist damit nicht das Fehlen des Tageslichts gemeint. Viel mehr verleiten fehlende Informationen und Aufschluss gebende adäquate Quellen über Lebensstil, Traditionen und geschichtliche Zusammenhänge dazu, das Mittelalter eben als „dunkle Zeit“ zu beschreiben. Zahlreiche Handschriften können jedoch zumindest ein wenig Licht auf dieses uns entfernte Kapitel der Geschichte werfen. Sie bringen uns die Helden des Artushofes und dessen Tafelrunde, vom sagenhaften walisischen Ritter Gawein von Orkney und des den Gral suchenden Ritters Parzival sowie die Lieder und Sangsprüche Walters von der Vogelweide (um 1170- um 1230) näher. Doch überwältigt sind wir von der Ausführung und Farbenpracht der die Manuskripte zierenden…

    Ecce homo, ved aquí al hombre

    September 18, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Solo puedo decir que estoy francamente impresionada por la campaña publicitaria que ha lanzado el Getty para promocionar la muestra dedicada al recién restaurado retablo del maestro renacentista holandés Maerten van Heemskerck (1498-1574), «Drama and Devotion: Heemskerck’s “Ecce Homo” Altarpiece from Warsaw»… Contratar a una devota y bienintencionada octogenaria para «retocar» un eccehomomenor en una pequeña iglesia española con un resultado tan ridículamente jocoso que se convierta en el tema del momento y que ponga los Cristos y las restauraciones de arte de primerísima actualidad… No puedo más que rendirme a los pies de ese genial e increíblemente retorcido publicista en cuyas manos Internet es poco más que una redecilla…

    Restoration or Paint-by-numbers

    September 18, 2012 / 0 Comments

    I’m going to take this opportunity to get back on my high horse about the restoration and conservation of art for posterity’s sake. J. Paul Getty Museum, you’re doing it right! Maerten van Heemskerck, a 16th century Netherlandish painter, bestowed Ecce Homo upon us, a masterpiece which usually resides in Warsaw, but has travelled all the way to Los Angeles – maybe not the first place I’d go after leaving Warsaw; however, definitely a site to see. A curatorial team and group of scientists have spruced it up, preserved it further, and learned more about it than has been known before. Not only has nothing but good come of this,…

    El Cielo, el Infierno y la Buena Muerte

    June 5, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Durante la Edad Media, el poder de la Iglesia Cristiana era incuestionable, así como su influencia sobre las ideas y el orden moral de la población en general. La religión era una temática predominante en el arte medieval y, con demasiada frecuencia, la figura del Jesucristo glorioso en su trono constituía el elemento central de las composiciones. A Él le correspondía la facultad de juzgar a justos y a pecadores y de imponer condenas eternas. De esta forma, el arte trataba de dar respuesta al interés por el destino del hombre fortaleciendo la fe de los virtuosos y aterrorizando a los escépticos. Veamos, por ejemplo, el Juicio Final (1425-1430) de…
