The Madonna of Humility

About 1345-50

Guariento di Arpo

Italian, active 1338-about 1370

Tempera and gold leaf on panel

This small panel offered its owner intimate contemplation of the Virgin in her many aspects. Nursing the infant Christ, she reminds the viewer that she is mankind's compassionate intercessor. Her crown points to her role as Queen of Heaven, while the brooch and rays of light surrounding her signal her apocalyptic role. The artistic inventiveness exident in this combination of elements is typical of devotional imagery in this period.

La Agenda Social Andina debe estar centrada en políticas y acciones públicas sanitarias, lo cual implica desde acciones correctivas, prevención sanitaria extendiéndose y enraizándose con la seguridad social y los servicios comunitarios sociales como son la atención a niños y niñas, ancianos y ancianas. Por eso los países están urgidos de reformas necesarias para implementar estos programas. Las políticas públicas sociales deberán estar orientadas hacia la reducción de la precariedad y la pobreza, así en el Acta de Carabobo se concretizan a través de la firma del Protocolo Simón Rodríguez, una vocación de concertar políticas laborales flexibles para que el mercado del trabajo se amplíe con la capacitación y actualización laboral para ello habrá que concertar con el sector privado políticas en el campo de los servicios públicos centrados en salud, vivienda y educación que beneficien el desarrollo sustentable de la sociedad civil, a través de la familia y dentro de ella la protección social de la mujer, niños y niñas, ancianos y ancianas, y de los jóvenes que podrán emanciparse más pronto cuando a la par que se preparan pueden ingresar al mercado de trabajo.

  

Philippians 2:5–9 says, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name.”

 

When Jesus humbled Himself in the last unequaled step of humility and love by dying on the cross, Scripture says that, “Therefore, God also has highly exalted Him.” Love and humility is the road that leads us to unity and oneness, and it is the same road Christ walked while on this earth. When we see Him and the extent of His love and humility, choosing the low road, we begin to understand the power of humbling ourselves before our brothers and sisters, just as Jesus did. Consider the words written by the prophet Isaiah about our Lord, the Lamb of God:

 

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth (Isaiah 53:3, 6–7, NIV, emphasis mine).

In September 2013, I was given the opportunity to shoot for a non-profit organisation called e.motion21. This is an organisation that provide an Australia-first, innovative dance and fitness program designed specifically for children and young adults with Down Syndrome.

 

This is a series of their rehearsal leading up to a dance event called Musicool. It was an eye opening experience having to shoot this event as I had never shot a subject matter relating to Down Syndrome prior to this. The most essential thing that I realised was that these kids and young adults are no different from what society deems as 'normal'. Everyone experiences struggles and it is the passion that keeps us going. For them, the unity through dance is the core of their passion and joy.

“What do the Stoics say? Humility is a driving force of Stoicism, because without it our ability to learn, adapt and build relationships is undermined by pride” -- Annie Lawson

 

From Stoic at Work: Ancient wisdom to make your job a bit less annoying which is “a sharply observed workplace survival guide that spins 49 entertaining modern rules from the wisdom of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius.” www.worldcat.org/oclc/1397032572

 

Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy that flourished in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. The Stoics believed that the practice of virtue is enough to achieve eudaimonia: a well-lived life. The Stoics identified the path to achieving it with a life spent practicing the four virtues in everyday life: wisdom, courage, temperance or moderation, and justice, and living in accordance with nature. It was founded in the ancient Agora of Athens by Zeno of Citium around 300 BC. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoicism

Michelangelo

Black chalk on paper

 

Michelangelo emphasises St Peter's nakedness and humility as he faces martyrdom. In this preliminary study of the man digging a hole for the upside-down cross, Michelangelo explores alternative positions for the man's arm.

His pose derives from an angel in the Last Judgment, showing Michelangelo's creative reuse of earlier concepts and ideas. The figure was reversed to fit into the final fresco.*

 

From the exhibition

  

Michelangelo the last decades

(May – July 2024)

 

In 1534, Michelangelo left Florence for Rome, never to see his native city again. He was 59, which many contemporaries regarded as old, but for Michelangelo this move marked the beginning of a dramatic new chapter which would fundamentally shape his experiences as an artist and as a man.

This exhibition looked at the last 30 years of Michelangelo's remarkable life, when his return to Rome – having been summoned by Pope Clement VII to paint a fresco of the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel – brought him new commissions and reunited him with some of his closest friends.

Having secured his reputation with works including his famous statue of David, Michelangelo was already the most celebrated artist in Europe. But, rather than resting on his laurels, his Christian faith, intellectual engagement and hope for salvation propelled him to produce some of the most striking works of his career. Forceful preparatory drawings for the Last Judgment, which were on show, as well as the monumental Epifania – one of only two surviving cartoons by Michelangelo – demonstrate his renewed energy and desire to challenge himself.

These works were displayed alongside studies for Michelangelo's grand architectural projects as well as drawings, poems and intimate letters that reveal his personal passions and anxieties. Rather than showing an artist in decline, this exhibition showed the astonishing dynamism that Michelangelo brought to his work in the final decades of his life as he explored salvation and confronted his mortality.

Humility is a strange thing. The moment you think you've got it, you've lost it.

I'm reminded that The Lord has called us to in some shape or form to serve others...to be servants of all (I.E. Matthew 23:11, Mark 9:35) and whoever is the least is really the greatest ( I.E. Luke 9:48)

_

Jesus was our prime example of being a humble and selfless servant.

_

I wonder though how selfless and humble are we willing to be as we strive to be more Christ-like and walk in His footsteps?

_

Ultimately our reward will be in heaven so I pray that while we do take care of ourselves as we should, that we don't get so caught up in "self" including our own pursuits that we lose sight of serving others as humble, selfless and willing servants.
