This former village school overlooking the village green is Grade II-listed and has been converted into a private residence. It dates from the middle of the 19th century and is thought to have been designed by the same architect as the church, which is just across the road (behind the camera). Back in those days, virtually every village of any size had its own school where village children and those from the surrounding area came to be taught to read and write and to learn simple arithmetic including their times tables.

Some fun facts about ring-tailed lemurs:
When sunbathing, these animals adopt a yoga-like posture, sitting on their haunches and stretching out their legs to warm up their underside.
Their typical sleeping position is the tail, curled up to cover its back and the nose, stuck between hind legs.
When defending their mating right, males of this species engage in ‘stink fights’, during which they smear scent on their tails to waft it at the rival.
Their most conspicuous feature is its long, heavily furred tail that is covered with 26 black and white, alternating rings, the first one of which is always white and the last one is black.
The newborn babies of this species exhibit blue eyes, eventually changing in color as the infants grow up.
They have a good grip due to the opposable thumbs, resembling these of humans, as well as leather-like palms on their feet.
These lemurs are amazingly clean creatures, always grooming themselves after feeding. The so-called “dental comb” of these animals is a comb-like row of teeth, that helps them groom themselves. They also use the long claws on the second toes of their hind feet as a grooming tool.
Experiments have shown that they, despite the lack of a large brain, can organize sequences, understand basic arithmetic operations and preferentially select tools based on functional qualities.
They are omnivores. These animals generally consume plants, leaves, flowers, nectar, fruit, sap, and bark, often supplementing their usual diet with insects, chameleons, and small birds.
It's been four years since I've tried one of these, but I had promised myself I would try them again because they are fun and you get all sorts of intriguing results.
This time I tried with a different camera for the Macro Mondays theme of Motion Blur this week. This is the sort of theme I tend to enjoy, though looking at some of the others that have already been posted today I don't think I have achieved their finesse and imagination!
My thanks to Kerry for pointing the theme out to me. I've been so busy lately that I would have probably missed it. Even so this attempt was a bit rushed and ad-hoc.
The approach is straightforward: place a little camera in the centre of a record deck pointing up in a darkened room, set it to the speed for singles (45rpm if you are too young!) and dangle something glittery above it.
You may have spotted the problem with this: how do you press the shutter button? Well that's not the only problem. Taking the image in the middle of a sunny day was a problem even with the curtains shut. Not having three arms was also a problem to hold a torch, trigger the shutter and hold the dingly dangly (cocktail sticks with tinsel tassels in this case) above the spinning camera, as was getting the image down to less than three inches...
Technology solved the first problem: just use the camera's remote control software on a tablet. It worked!! Yey.
My wife said I wasn't allowed to grow a third arm as none of my shirts would then fit :(
And the three inches was solved with cropping...
This is for MM but also fits my 100x motion project :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image - it's looking deep into your mind (though I'm OK because there is certifiably nothing left of mine). Happy Macro Mondays and 100x :)
Ok there is a problem with this image that you might spot if you are the sort who uses your alien intellect. At 45rpm with a one-second exposure, you might expect the scene to rotate by three-quarters of a turn. but it looks more like five-eighths (check out the green line).
No.... I have no idea either (though the turntable may need adjusting... or my arithmetic...).
This former village school in Warkton, Northamptonshire, dates from 1867 is now used as the village hall. Warkton is part of the Boughton Estate and this Grade II-listed building would almost certainly have been paid for by the Duke of Buccleuch, one of whose family homes is nearby Boughton House.
In those days there would probably have just been one teacher and all the children of the village, whatever their ages, would have been taught together in the one classroom. They would have learned to read and write and do arithmetic. Then, probably around the age of 12 or 13, they would have left to almost certainly work on the estate.
“Oh no here we go again. He’s finally lost it. Three shots already uploaded from that infernal ridge walk and yet he still manages to find another one to rattle on about!” is what you might be thinking. I’m starting to have the same thoughts myself. It doesn’t help that I’ve done so little photography since that adventure. Ok so there’s a van related wild camp caper on Dartmoor the week before last to report tales of yet to come, but I’m still to work those raw files into shape. The thing is, that afternoon on the high ground of the Brecon Beacons in South Wales brought one composition after another as the landscape gradually revealed new secrets with each phase of the trek. All of them taken with a lens that really deserves a bit more love in return for its efforts. This one brought the peaks of Fan y Big, Cribyn, Pen y Fan and Corn Du into a single frame, with an illuminated bonus foreground designed by the icy architects of this landscape to offset the four dark shrouds behind.
Like so many of us I started out with a modest assembly of tools for my induction into this world that we share. A midrange camera, a couple of reasonably price lenses sourced from your favourite auction site, a cheap tripod, an even cheaper bag and some very inexpensive filters that would be better suited as coasters for tea cups. And then I got carried away – a sorry tale of obsession, a descent of the senses so steep as to be matched only by the plummeting bank balance as a full frame camera and professional lenses were added to the bag, itself replaced by a new model of course. The cheap filters gave way to the same set that Nigel Danson swears by, and then of course a carbon fibre tripod was a must wasn’t it? Not long ago I looked at the collection, did some mental arithmetic, and decided it was best not to mention the final score to my better half, who has far more modest tastes. A new pair of knitting needles is as racy as she gets when it comes to freeing up budget for luxuries. When people take her to task on her innate sense of thrift, with metronomic consistency she replies with “how do you think I managed to retire in my fifties on what I was earning?” She has a point. You become so much wealthier by desiring less in life.
But in that bagful of precious things lies the lens that so often gets overlooked – only really brought into use at moments when lugging the others around is going to prove challenging. I think of it as my adventuring lens. After all I’d have needed a team of sherpas to roll my 100-400mm lens up the first slope of Fan y Big on a series of felled tree trunks if I’d wanted to take it with me. So for long arduous treks, the lightweight lens with the huge focal length gets its day in the sun; and the rain too for that matter. I used it a lot that day as you may already be aware from a surfeit of previous posts. When I uploaded the raw files from the hike onto my computer at home my first reaction was one of enormous disappointment – so many of them were fuzzy and grainy and I found myself heading down the familiarly dangerous route of eBay as I blamed the lens once more for its inadequacies, while stubbornly ignoring my own shortcomings. Misplaced vainglory is such an unattractive web in which to entangle oneself.
Eventually, after much soul searching and further experimenting at 300mm on the tripod in my living room I concluded that the maligned lens was entirely free of blame – it was me who was at fault. I resolved to learn to use it properly and stop poring over alternatives on the internet each time I fail. In fact it went to Dartmoor with me so you’ll be able to judge for yourself which one of us has performance issues to come to terms with in due course. I think we both know already it’s me and not the lens.
I’m sitting at my laptop in the aforementioned van, where the strains of the annual music festival that take place on the estate across the road from us are drifting across the trees towards me on the gentlest of summer evening breaths. It might be Razorlight; it might be Goldie Looking Chain I can hear, but this year the neighbours don’t appear to have been invited to the party in atonement for the interruption to our weekend peace so I’ve really no idea. I’ve moved on from indignation to indifference now. We didn’t really want to go anyway. At least it’s nearly over and it’s Bank Holiday Monday tomorrow with its stay of execution from the real world for one more day.
This might be the last image I post from that ridge walk, but the trouble is there’s at least one more of them jumping up and down in the shadows waving its arms about if I can drag another tale out of the adventure. For now I’ll work harder at familiarising myself with that lens.
Yes - time for the book-mark collage that divide up the endless flow of the photostream into months. I'm not very good with arithmetic, but I think this shows I'm on the 98th collage - as I began in March 2016 .... soon I will have 100!
This time I'm looking back over May - when summer seemed to be here at last. With a slowing down of the rain, and some bright dry days we managed to visit a few of our favourite haunts. I had to blow the cobwebs off some of my lenses, and it's sobering to discover how easy it is to lose that instinctive response ... when I stop and think I always struggle with the settings!
But the feeling of liberation was and is wonderful, and I hope it lasts well into September! Last year winter began then ... this year I'm hoping for a good long autumn as well as a warm and sunny summer. Our garden is in full bloom, full of flowers and colour. So much to shoot ... I guess my Flickr summer will overflow with flowers too!
As ever - many thanks to everyone who has visited my photostream and for the comments and faves.
All my collages are collected here: At a Glance
The church at Elmton is not the original; we know it goes back to 1086 as it is mentioned in the Domesday Book and it is the earliest historical reference to the parish and church of St Peter’s of Elmton known to us.
At the time of Henry II (1327-1377) the church was given by Ralph Deincourt to Thurgarton Priory, Nottinghamshire. The church at this time was large and spacious with three aisles and one cross aisle, a steeple and a tower in the centre. Little is known about the old church, except that it was left to deteriorate. An estimated £1,288 was raised for pulling down and re-building the church, which started in 1760 and took 11 years, the work being completed in 1771.
The present church is a Grade II listed building and consists of a nave, chancel and bell turret. There is a tale that the contractor who had the duty of erecting the building disappeared suddenly, leaving the tower only partially built. It was certainly intended that there should be a strong foundation for the belfry as the tower walls are 5 feet in thickness. Instead of the tower there is a turret containing three bells.
The church houses a restored Brindley organ and there is a painting of Jedidiah Buxton, the 18th century arithmetical genius, who lived in Elmton. A blue plaque, erected in Jedediah’s honour, is located near the church gate.

While trying to find a suitable location to shoot the beautiful Bailey falls, I noticed the view from the Cedar Creek Bridge. The recent rains had caused the creek to swell up, and it resembled a mini lake. However, due to the tree cover and the surrounding hills, the lakebed was not affected much by the wind. So I had perfect mirror reflections. There were terrific details in the sky and a slight warm tinge to the light coming through the forest. It was one of those scenes where it looked too pretty to be true.
So on my way back, I decided to find a composition that worked here. The best viewpoint was from the bridge. Thankfully not much traffic here, and I managed some quick shots of the beautiful lake and the waterfall. The challenge this time was dynamic range, too much even for the great D850. An ND grad would be great to use when there is a variance in lighting conditions, but the lack of a defined horizon meant that they would do more harm than benefit. So exposure blending was the only option. Thankfully I am past my HDR days, and with luminosity masks, it's a matter of few seconds. I am pleased with how the results turned out, and it’s a lot more natural than anything an HDR software usually spits out.
“Humans aren’t as good as we should be in our capacity to empathize with feelings and thoughts of others, be they humans or other animals on Earth. So maybe part of our formal education should be training in empathy. Imagine how different the world would be if, in fact, that were ‘reading, writing, arithmetic, empathy.” – Neil deGrasse Tyson
Les œuvres d'art monumentales illustrent la montée dans les années 90 d'une nouvelle architecture influencée par de nouvelles méthodes de conception et de processus de production numérisés.

The Skeen School, once educating children around the local area, continues to stand tall and proud. Within the confinements of academia, such academics once taught were arithmetic, reading and writing. Now [slowly] withering away at the edge of a wheat field, instead of providing adolescent moments to the youth, the former one-room school house serves its purpose of storing farming equipment.

Fear of numbers but can also refer to the fear of math, numerals, certain numbers, calculations, and/or calculus. Symptoms: sweating profusely, feeling like running away or hiding, having elevated heart beat, breathing rapidly. The arithmophobic also feels detached from reality- s/he might experience a dry mouth, feel numbness or confusion, or may be unable to express one’s thoughts clearly.

Wildflower in the wind…
What’s interesting about this one I think is what it isn’t. It’s not the result of a photoart filter, or smudging or other pixel-pushing painterliness. It’s a straight capture of the sensor. Well, ten to be more precise.
Effectively it’s a multiexposure, but whereas an in-camera multi ex averages the colour values using the arithmetic mean this is a stack of images merged using a different statistical operator, in this case the median average. You can do this easily in Affinity Photo, as here, or in Photoshop. The results are variable depending on the subject and the operator you use.
I had enjoyed the outcome of something similar I did previously (the Forest Pansy tree blowing in the wind) and wanted to try the approach again.
These images are of a Small Scabious flower. It’s a pretty disc-shaped lilac-blue wild flower about two or three centimetres across and is pretty common in the limestone meadows around here.
In order for something like this to work I was really looking for something with colour and tone contrast and random movement. The flower here is being blown about in the wind and I am also moving the viewpoint a bit. I’ll post a link to a contact sheet of the constituent images in the first comment so you can see.
The trouble with multiple exposures (certainly of different subjects) is that the camera will eventually average everything out to a mid grey, a bit like if you mixed all the paint pots in your garage you will inevitably get some sort of brown (I have often wondered whether public buildings that are painted brown have had their colour chosen by committee :) ). So in processing you need to retrieve the contrast and tonal range. The histogram lumps in the middle so the easiest way to achieve that is to chop the left and right bits off with the Levels filter.
For this one I then enhanced the colour and contrast with Curves in LAB mode, and slid the Hue slightly using an HSL layer to something more interesting. Quite a hefty bit of noise control using a Denoise filter followed.
The embossed look in the centre was the only contrivance for painterliness and was achieved using the Lighting filter with a single spot top left and a bit of the texture slider. Finally the whole thing was sharpened using High Pass/Linear blend which was the only method that seemed to work effectively.
Thank for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
Update: Simeon Schmauß over on Twitter (@stim3on) recommended G'MIC for taking care of the horizontal noise / banding. It worked pretty great. There's a Photoshop plugin for it, too.
Wanted to process my own version of this one, since nebular landscapes are some of my favorite views. Having a hard time with the linear noise pattern, especially near the top of the image.
In the center of this view is a newly forming star crossed by a dark disk of dust (say that three times fast!) which is casting shadows to the left and right, and allowing cones of light out the top and bottom. Think of it like a light bulb inside of a donut with a bunch of fog. Though the infrared light can penetrate much of the dust, there are clues in the image that show some of the dust is still too thick to see through. At the lower right especially are a lot of background galaxies. On the left, the background galaxies are fewer, and what we see are dimmer, so we can tell there is more dust there.
You can see the official release here. They've got a much better description than I could ever write.

The sculpture is "The Liberal Arts - Trivium and Quadrivium" or "The Mamudas".
The trivium consists of grammar, logic, and rhetoric, while the quadrivium consists of arithmetic, astronomy, music, and geometry. Together they lead students to see a “unified idea of reality.”
The Mamudas a less common term, but in the context of Portuguese universities, The Mamudas refers to the collection of seven carved wooden figures that represent the Seven Liberal Arts, with the Trivium and Quadrivium being their subject matter.
I'm not ashamed to admit I love romance comics from the 60s and 70s. The cover of this one intrigued me, to say the least.
Sorry to report that in the story inside, which reprints this cover, she is the teacher, not the dude in the tweed jacket. She teaches an adult education class at night (basic arithmetic, according to the blackboard: 127 X 8 = ?) and the guy is one of her new students. He stalks her and beats up another guy on her behalf; by the end of the second class, he proposes marriage in front of everyone and she accepts, just like in real life.
Thomas Edison, the inventor, resided in Port Huron, Mi. Thomas Alva Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio; the seventh and last child of Samuel and Nancy Edison. When Edison was seven his family moved to Port Huron, Michigan. Edison lived here until he struck out on his own at the age of sixteen. Edison had very little formal education as a child, attending school only for a few months. He was taught reading, writing, and arithmetic by his mother, but was always a very curious child and taught himself much by reading on his own. This belief in self-improvement remained throughout his life." Mary Bellis About.com - Inventors.
This statue is situated at the mouth of Lake Huron and the St. Clair River. See the snow in the backgroud? That is actually floating ice - it will eventually make it to the narrow passage under the bridges and float down the river. It is pretty interesting to watch the ice cutters chug up the St. Clair River - I am hoping to get pictures of a couple this year.
Thomas Edison, l'inventeur, résidé dans Huron de Port, Mi. "Thomas Alva Edison était né le 11 février, 1847 dans Milan, Ohio ; le septième et dernier enfant de Samuel et Nancy Edison. Quand Edison était sept sa famille a transféré à Huron de Port, le michigan. Edison a habité ici jusqu'à ce qu'il a rayé seul à l'âge de seize. Edison a eu la très petite éducation formelle comme un enfant, assistant l'école seulement pour quelques mois. Il a été enseigné la lecture, l'écriture, et arithmétique par sa mère, mais était toujours un enfant très curieux et s'est enseigné beaucoup d'en liant seul. Cette conviction dans la soi-amélioration est restée à travers sa vie". Le De.Com de Bellis de marie - les Inventeurs.
Cette statue est située à la bouche de Huron de Lac et la Rue. Clair Rivière. Voir la neige dans le backgroud ? Cela flotte en fait de la glace - il le fera finalement au passage étroit sous les ponts et flotte en bas la rivière.

- My wife did buy the set of gold (14 crt) abacus cufflinks in Hong Kong during the early 1970's. The beads are all individual movable.
Measures: H x B = 2 x 1.2 cm
- Abacus is known to be the first mechanical calculating device. Which was used to be performe addition and subtraction easily and speedily.
This device was developed by the Egyptians in the 10th century B.C, but it was given its final shape in the 12th century A.D. by the Chinese educationists.
These Abacus were made up of a wooden frame in which rods where fitted across with rounds beads sliding on the rods. It is divided into two parts called ‘Heaven’ and ‘Earth’. Heaven was the upper part and Earth was the lower one. Thus any number can be represented by placing the beads at proper place.
- 'Micro processors’ are the main concept behind modern computers.
A microprocessor is a single chip (L.S.I. circuit), which is used in a computer for any arithmetical or logical function to be performed in any program.

Ring-tailed Lemur sitting In the grass.
The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is a large strepsirrhine primate and the most recognized lemur due to its long, black and white ringed tail. It belongs to Lemuridae, one of five lemur families, and is the only member of the Lemur genus. Like all lemurs it is endemic to the island of Madagascar. Known locally in Malagasy as maky, spelled maki in French) or hira, it inhabits gallery forests to spiny scrub in the southern regions of the island. It is omnivorous and the most terrestrial of extant lemurs. The animal is diurnal, being active exclusively in daylight hours.
The ring-tailed lemur is highly social, living in groups of up to 30 individuals. It is also female dominant, a trait common among lemurs. To keep warm and reaffirm social bonds, groups will huddle together. The ring-tailed lemur will also sunbathe, sitting upright facing its underside, with its thinner white fur towards the sun. Like other lemurs, this species relies strongly on its sense of smell and marks its territory with scent glands. The males perform a unique scent marking behavior called spur marking and will participate in stink fights by impregnating their tail with their scent and wafting it at opponents.
As one of the most vocal primates, the ring-tailed lemur uses numerous vocalizations including group cohesion and alarm calls. Experiments have shown that the ring-tailed lemur, despite the lack of a large brain (relative to simiiform primates), can organize sequences, understand basic arithmetic operations and preferentially select tools based on functional qualities. – Wikipedia

For the Crazy Tuesday challenge: Guess What It Is.
Yes it is indeed an Abacus. I thought it would be great for this challenge because I thought it was pretty esoteric in these days of all purpose "phones." Guess they are still more common than I thought. Way to go everyone. Thanks for guessing!

Acharya Vijayanand Suri (1837–1896), also known as Atmaramji of Gujranwala, was the first Swetambar Murtipujaka Jain monk in modern times to receive the title of Acharya.Born and raised in Punjab, he was initiated as Sthanakvasi monk who later joined Murtipujaka tradition. He travelled extensively in Gujarat, Rajputana and Punjab; and organised and reformed Jain community, ascetic orders and literature. He wrote several books in Hindi and was invited to the first World Parliament of Religions in 1893 which was attended by Virchand Gandhi later.
He was born on 6 April 1837 CE (Chaitra Shukla 1 Vikram Samvat 1893) in Lehara, Punjab to Ganeshchandra and Rupdevi. He was born in a Brahmakshatriya Hindu family.His father was an army official of Ranjit Singh. His father died in his early childhood and he was raised by his mother. He was given to Sheth Jodhmal of Jira, Punjab for education in VS 1903. He studied Hindi and arithmetic. He came into contact with Sthanakvasi monks during his school life. A couple of influential Sthanakavasi monks initiated him in 1853 (VS 1910) at the age of sixteen and was given the name of Atmaram.
Ascetic career
Memorial shrine in Gujranwala, now used as police station of Sabzi Mandi area. From Chicago Prashnottar, 1918
Atmaram began the study of Jain scriptures along with his fellow ascetics. He was later joined by a Yati of Tapa Gaccha lineage. After several years of study, he was convinced that the Sthanakavasi position of opposition of Idol-worshiping contradicted the scriptures.Later in 1876 (VS 1943), he was initiated again as a Murtipujaka monk in Ahmedabad by Muni Buddhivijay, also known as Buterayji of Tapa Gaccha who himself was Sthanakvasi monk before. He was given a new name, Anandvijay.
In 1886, he was conferred the title of Acharya by the congregation of Palitana during his Chaturmas (four months stay during rainy season) there. This was a notable event because since four centuries, there wasn't an ascetic who was conferred with the title of Acharya. He was the first Acharya of contemporary Jain history as till then only Yatis were conferred with the title. As a result of reforms advocated by him, the influence of yatis declined, although the yatis still survive in some locations.
He travelled extensively in Gujarat and Punjab. He convinced to open Jain Bhandaras (libraries) with Jain literature kept closed for people since years and had texts copied and examined by scholars. He brought these literature to light and instilled sense of identity among Jains. In 1893, he was invited to participate in the first ever World Parliament of Religions at Chicago and since Jain monks do not travel overseas he sent Virchand Gandhi to United States to participate in the World Parliament of Religions. He won silver medal in 1893 at Chicago and was covered by many USA periodicals.Based on questions that he had received from the organizers of the Parliament, he wrote a book for the occasion entitled The Chicago-Prashnottar or Questions and Answers on Jainism for the Parliament of Religions Held at Chicago USA in 1893. He was instrumental in reviving the tradition of fully initiated monks (Samvegi sadhu). He also convinced many Sthankvasis in the Punjab to join the Murtipujaka tradition. About 15000 people converted to Jainism due to his efforts. He also encouraged the construction and renovation of Jain temples. He had helped orientalist Rudolf Hoernlé in his studies on Jainism.
He died in Gujranwala (now in Pakistan) on 20 May 1896 (Jayeshtha Shukla 13 VS 1953). A memorial shrine dedicated to him was built there,which is now used as a police station of Sabzi Mandi area. His footprints along with the chhatri (cenotaph) over them, are moved to Lahore Fort Museum

The one on the right accidentally tore his arithmetic question paper and spent a lot of time mending it with clear tape before he finally sat down, meanwhile, the one on the left had already done a lot of questions.
New Cuyama is a tiny unincorporated town in the middle of nowhere. I noticed a couple of “TRUMP 2024” signs along the road, but they do have at least one person with a sense of humor...

Willem Bartjens (Amsterdam, 1569 – Zwolle, 1638) was een Nederlandse schoolmeester, die bekend is geworden door zijn rekenboek "De Cijfferinghe van Mr. Willem Bartjens".
Bartjens leefde lange tijd in Zwolle. Als eerbetoon aan de schoolmeester is er in Zwolle jaarlijks een Groot Zwolsch Bartjens Rekendictee.
Bartjens leeft in de Nederlandse taal nog altijd voort in de uitdrukking: "Volgens Bartjens...". Dit geeft aan dat een berekening of een zin kloppend of logisch is, verwijzend naar het door hem geschreven rekenboek.

Willem Bartjens (Amsterdam, 1569 – Zwolle, 1638) was a Dutch schoolmaster, who became famous for his arithmetic book "De Cijfferinghe van Mr. Willem Bartjens".
Bartjens lived in Zwolle for a long time. As a tribute to the schoolmaster, there is an annual Groot Zwolsch Bartjens Rekendictee in Zwolle.
Bartjens still lives on in the Dutch language in the expression: "According to Bartjens...". This indicates that a calculation or a sentence is correct or logical, referring to the arithmetic book he wrote.
Les œuvres d'art monumentales illustrent la montée dans les années 90 d'une nouvelle architecture influencée par de nouvelles méthodes de conception et de processus de production numérisés. En permettant la variation de forme, qui est caractérisée par le flux d’informations qui la traverse, ces méthodes ont stimulé la création d’une architecture animée, vivante et dynamique dans laquelle se croisent les processus biologiques et la dynamique des fluides. Cette tendance, dite numérique, arithmétique et numérique, remet en question une architecture qui serait immuable et définitive au profit d'une "architecture liquide" (Marcos Novak), aux formes libres et évolutives, dans laquelle des cercles organiques et des surfaces continues se mélangent. Cela correspond au style de cette autre architecture qui, dans les années 1960 et 1970, est revenue aux styles plus anciens (gothique, baroque, expressionnisme) en évoquant la courbe, l'organique et le mouvement par rapport à la rigidité de l'angle droit.
The monumental works of art illustrate the rise in the 1990s of a new architecture influenced by new methods of digitized design and production processes. By allowing shape variation, which is characterized by the flow of information passing through it, these methods have stimulated the creation of an animated, dynamic and dynamic architecture in which biological processes and fluid dynamics intersect. This trend, known as numerical, arithmetical and numerical, calls into question an architecture that would be immutable and definitive in favor of a "liquid architecture" (Marcos Novak), with free and evolving forms, in which organic circles and continuous surfaces take place. mix. This corresponds to the style of this other architecture which, in the 1960s and 1970s, returned to older styles (Gothic, Baroque, Expressionism) evoking the curve, the organic and the movement in relation to the rigidity of the angle law.
A Young Man Being Introduced to the Seven Liberal Arts, also known as Lorenzo Tornabuoni Presented by Grammar to Prudentia and the other Liberal Arts or Lorenzo Tornabuoni Being Introduced to the Liberal Arts (Italian: Giovane Introdotto tra le Arti Liberali), is a painting by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli, circa 1483–1486. The painting and its companion piece, Venus and the Three Graces Presenting Gifts to a Young Woman, originally decorated Villa Lemmi, a country villa near Florence owned by Giovanni Tornabuoni, uncle of Lorenzo de' Medici and head of the Roman branch of the Medici Bank. They were probably commissioned for the 1486 wedding of Giovanni's son Lorenzo to Giovanna of the Albizzi family, and are therefore thought to depict the two.
A Young Man Being Introduced to the Seven Liberal Arts depicts a young man, perhaps Lorenzo Tornabuoni, led by a personification of Grammar into a circle of allegorical figures representing the Seven Liberal Arts. Presided over by Prudentia, the circle also includes Rhetoric, Logic, Arithmetic, Geometry, Astronomy and Music, each recognizable by means of various attributes. In antiquity, the liberal arts denoted the education worthy of a free person and the painting therefore testifies to the young man's broad education. The figure of Arithmetic is seen holding its hand out in greeting to the young man. Tornabuoni, a scion to a banking family, would have probably had an education focused on numbers.
Both paintings were discovered at Villa Lemmi in 1873 under a coat of whitewash and removed from their original location. They are now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris.
