Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti 1519 - 1594) Trinity (1561-62) dimensions 122 x 181 cm - Galleria Sabauda Torino
La tela è il frammento di una pala d’altare. L’iconografia è comunque identificabile con la Trinità, ripensata però da Tintoretto in modo originale e personale. Dio Padre con le braccia aperte con un gesto insieme di pietà e accoglimento sovrasta la croce con Cristo morto, realizzata in una prospettiva molto scorciata. Tra i due è collocata la colomba dello Spirito Santo. Ai lati due angeli vegliano il crocifisso. Più in basso, in parte tagliati, due putti alati pregano con le mani giunte. Sullo sfondo si intravedono teste di cherubini appena abbozzate. I colori intensi delle vesti dei personaggi, a suggerirne la consistenza serica, sono esaltati da un sapiente uso del chiaroscuro e della pittura tonale. Una luce diffusa giallo-ambra illumina la porzione di scena dando risalto alle ombre sui volti e sui corpi, sottolineando quindi la tragicità dell’evento. Questa porzione di dipinto è fortunosamente scampata a un rovinoso incendio. Proviene dalla chiesa veneziana di San Girolamo, andata a fuoco nel 1705. Pare dunque probabile che il genovese Gerolamo Ignazio Durazzo l’avesse acquistato a seguito di quelle drammatiche circostanze. Secondo recenti segnalazioni documentarie, sembra che il dipinto fosse collocato sull’altare dedicato a Sant’Adriano, edificato nel 1560 per conto di Piero Alessandro Lippomano, già antico committente del pittore. Oltre al gruppo trinitario la pala si componeva della presenza dei santi Adriano, Francesco e Agostino ai piedi della croce. La sua datazione si orienta intorno al 1561-62. L’opera venne acquistata da Carlo Felice di Savoia nel 1824.
The canvas is the fragment of an altarpiece. The iconography is however identifiable with the Trinity, however rethought by Tintoretto in an original and personal way. God the Father with open arms with a gesture of piety and acceptance overwhelms the cross with the dead Christ, realized in a very shortened perspective. The dove of the Holy Spirit is placed between the two. At the sides two angels watch over the crucifix. Lower down, partly cut, two winged cherubs pray with folded hands. In the background one can see the heads of cherubs that have just been sketched. The intense colors of the characters' robes, to suggest their silky consistency, are enhanced by a clever use of chiaroscuro and tonal painting. A diffuse amber-yellow light illuminates the portion of the scene giving prominence to the shadows on faces and bodies, thus emphasizing the tragedy of the event. This portion of the painting has fortunately escaped a disastrous fire. It comes from the Venetian church of San Girolamo, which was burnt down in 1705. It therefore seems probable that the Genoese Gerolamo Ignazio Durazzo had bought it following those dramatic circumstances. According to recent documentary reports, it seems that the painting was placed on the altar dedicated to Sant’Adriano, built in 1560 on behalf of Piero Alessandro Lippomano, the former commissioner of the painter. In addition to the Trinitarian group, the altarpiece consisted of the presence of Saints Adriano, Francesco and Agostino at the foot of the cross. Its dating is around 1561-62. The work was purchased by Carlo Felice of Savoy in 1824.

For about 10 years or so, I shot mountain bike competitions and my favourite were the Singlespeed 'races' (who wouldn't enjoy a race where you could take the shortcut if you skulled a can of warm beer!).
I was sorting photos the other day and came across this one; used in some magazines.
I'd have to find the original to date and label it but I think it's around 2017 and maybe the New Zealand Singlespeed Championships in Rotorua (could be from the Worlds though).
I like it because it sums up the nature and fun of single speed mountain bike racing.
Some do it for the sheer fun of the event and others are deadly serious about their finishing position.
This was the start of the race and all three main subjects are competitors!
Le mauvais temps.... jamais personne ne capte la lumière du mauvais temps.
Certaines ambiances sont si dramatiques parfois....

Well, that didn't quite work the way I planned. I was putting my lens cap beside the spider for perspective and it climbed right up!
This looks a bit like the bee hunting crab spiders I see in the garden. I wonder if they are related. This one was on a dish towel, in the house. I 'escorted' it outside where it posed for a few shots before carrying on its way.
