Lippo di Dalmasio
Tempera on canvas
Like Donatello, the Bolognese painter Lippo responded to the graceful charm of 14th-century Sienese painting. The Virgin is shown as the 'Madonna of Humility', so-called because she is seated on the ground with the Christ Child on her lap. She tenderly embraces her child set against the sun, which gives the scene the appearance of a golden tondo.*

Donatello: Sculpting the Renaissance
(11 February - 11 June 2023)
This first major UK exhibition to explore the exceptional talents of the Renaissance master Donatello, arguably the greatest sculptor of all time, presented a fresh vision of the artist and his influence on subsequent generations.
Donatello (about 1386 – 1466) is arguably the greatest Italian Renaissance sculptor. He revolutionised sculpture both through his inventive treatment of imagery, and his mastery of an extraordinary range of materials – including marble and stone, bronze, wood, terracotta and stucco as well as unusual mixed media. He rarely repeated himself, striving for innovation and never quenching his thirst for experimentation.
Born in Florence around 1386, Donatello is one of the most inventive and influential artists of the Renaissance. Throughout a career lasting over 60 years, his extraordinary sculpture was at the heart of the revolution in art and culture taking place in 15th-century Italy.
Always at the cutting edge, Donatello combined the growing interest in ancient Greece and Rome with familiar traditions. He used a wide variety of materials and techniques, creating innovative sculptures to adorn public and private settings. Through exceptional ingenuity and emotional insight, he captured the essence of the human experience in sculptural form and paved the way for sculptors and painters alike.
This exhibition explores Donatello's creativity and unique vision, his workshop practices and collaborations, and his enduring impact on artists across the centuries.

Humility is essential in most things, but in birding and photography it seems especially important. There I was, picking my way around the southern end of the pond at Bruce Pit, looking to get to the east side to shoot with the sun at my back. I was getting closer, but then an odd little sparrow began darting among the reeds. I was trying to use it as a test for my light readings, and so I too a couple of pictures. It was later int he afternoon, at home, that I realized I had been so intent on shooting the sparrow, and so concerned about the exposure, that I missed (being aware of) an interesting bird that had not bolted as I crashed through the reeds.

Humility isn't thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less.

This is one of my all time favorite "self portraits"
I took this a few years ago, part of a self portrait project in a BW creative photography class at FCCJ.
After hand developing and printing this in BW, with blue toner, I scanned it and solarized it on the computer for this final look.
When I first developed this picture.. I imagined that this was how God might see me..... eyes down... humbled before him.
The color and chaos and unkept look were intentional... and the red does have symbolism too....
This is violet. Violet can be found easily around the Hanseo University. Violet represents sincerity and humility. It have a 3 color like red, purple, yellow. The main color is light purple. Background is green grass and stone It is very bright.

The early 15c south door "humility" entrance, believed to probably be the finest carved door in the county. It has Tudor roses, crockets and rich canopies. The Knowles shield is set between the emblems of St Luke and St John.
Detail: One of the Four Doctors of the Church (Gregory, Jerome, Ambrose, & Augustine).
The South door is perpendicular and is probably the finest carved door in the county and one of the best in the whole country. It has tudor roses, crockets and rich canopies. The wicket is traceried and has signs of St Luke and St John. There are niches running from the sill of the door with mutilated figures of Saints and the Four Doctors of the Church (Gregory, Jerome, Ambrose, & Augustine). There is a lion at the bottom of the door and a stag at the East side.

Many people stand in an indoor space with bowed heads and clasped hands, engaged in deep prayer. Warm light illuminates their faces during this solemn, spiritual moment at night.
There is so much humility wrapped up in the quilts I make that there is no reason to "create" a humility block (like the Amish).
Big ol' gap in the border gave me instant humbleness and the opportunity to announce it in orange. I embroidered a special "cousin word" on it just for J (my cousin!).

In bonsai, Nature is bent to our will. That is tension; how is it peace? Peace has never been a state of zero tension, which is death.
If we do not bend our selfish natures to our own informed will -- conscience -- there can be no such thing as peace.
It seems ironic, paradoxical, that one must impose limits to achieve the zenith in imagination, creativity, productivity. With too few limits or none at all there can be no focus, only a confused mess. But if you bend anything too far, it will break.
Balance.
Humility. Individuality. Creativity. Artistry.
Life.
