Convenience and Certainty: Accepting the challenge

  

I have made my choice, and in growing certainty know that neither you nor he will need to endure my presence for long now. His anger at me is palpable and I worry that in a momentary lapse he would bring that rage upoon you. I have decided to face this wrath and speak the naked truth to Rip, indeed I would speak with him before you receive this letter.

  

To the end and beyond, I remain in secret unspoken passion, ever your lover

The only one of the busts of philosophers and poets that can be identified with certainty is Dante Alighieri, and some of the loveliest and most famous of the monochromes are illustrations of episodes from the Divine Comedy - for the most part from Purgatory. In these Orvieto frescoes Signorelli proves that he is a talented illustrator of Dante, but what is truly fascinating is that he has succeeded in giving an interpretation of the Divine Comedy that is evocative and visionary, so similar to more modern styles that one can't help but compare it to the work of such artists as Fuseli, Blake, Gustave Doré. If one is still searching for evidence of Luca Signorelli's inventive genius and of his astonishing versatility, then these decorations will provide it.

 

This picture shows The Angel Arrives in Purgatory.

I'm told, though I cannot say with certainty, that this is a banksia rose. I know, you'd normally associate that name with the fussy washed out double yellow jobby and yet this one is clearly, stridently and unapologetically single and white. It's not that these are big in your face blossoms. They are not. They are tiny, perfectly formed little roses whose impact comes from them making, like Phil Spector's production, a wall of flowers.

 

Supposing that what I've been told is true, then this must be Rosa banksiae var. normalis, the wild-type collected from Central China. You'd suppose it was named for Sir Joseph Banks. It wasn't. Instead the name honours his wife, Dorothea. Who collected it and when? I have no idea. But because Dorothea died in 1828, if it was named in her lifetime, it must have been in cultivation for quite a while now.

 

I think it might be time to take some cuttings of her. There's always time for another rose!

Cylindrical ivory box with lid. The bottom was redone in 1832, as well as the polychromy and the gilding, probably according to the traces of an old polychromy.

The origin is not determined with certainty, it is either the abbey of Cîteaux, or the Charterhouse of Champmol. The inventory of the Treasury of the sacristy of Citeaux made in 1791, mentions "five toilet boxes of the Duchesses of Burgundy", and our pyxis is considered as such by the editor of the catalog of the Dijon museum in 1883. On the other hand, an older catalog (1830) speaks of a "box preserved at the Chartreuse de Champmol, with the toilets of the Duchesses of Burgundy", which tends to say that this box is not one of the "toilets": it could be , as envisaged by C. Monget,

The scenes from the Childhood of Christ are arranged in two registers, and present in the lower part a Visitation, an Annunciation, an Adoration of the Magi, a Nativity, a Presentation in the temple, isolated by trefoil arcades. The upper frieze, punctuated by stylized trees, depicts the Journey of the Magi, the Announcement to the Shepherds, the Massacre of the Innocents, the Miracle of Wheat, the Flight into Egypt. The Miracle of Wheat is an unusual theme. A 15th century incunabula (in the Bibl. Nat. de Paris) tells how the soldiers of Herod were deceived by a miracle of the Child Jesus who, throwing down a handful of wheat which a peasant was busy sowing, made this wheat just now. So the plowman began to harvest, and when the soldiers asked him if he had seen a woman and a child pass, he candidly replied that he had seen them pass when he was sowing his field. . The soldiers concluded that if it had been nearly a year, it could not be the fugitives they were pursuing. This apocryphal story is rarely staged. It is however found in the 13th century on the portal of the church of Rougemont, in a panel of the cathedral of Chalons-sur-Marne, in murals in Saint-Maurice-sur-Loire. he had seen a woman and a child pass, he candidly replied that he had seen them pass when he was sowing his field.

The type of faces, the difference in proportions between the characters and the decor, the naivety of anecdotal details, the realism of the costumes and harnesses, allow R. Koechlin and H. Martin to place this ivory in the zone of influence from the workshop of the triptych of Saint-Sulpice-du-Tarn. D. Gaborit-Chopin recognizes this influence and creates the personality of the "Master of the pyxis of Dijon".

from McCune and Geiser 2009:

"[P. hyperopta] frequently occurring with P. ambigua, with which is essentially identical, except for color: gray in P. hyperopta, yellowish green in P. ambigua. P. hyperopta is noticeably more abundant than P. ambigua w Cas and P. hyperopta is usually absent from dry forests (e.g. Pinus ponderosa). The two species are frequently seen together, because of their mutual tendency to occur on tree bases and to tolerate burial by snow. Although some authors have suggested that P. ambigua and P. hyperopta are just two chemotypes of the same species, recent molecular evidence supports their separation as species."

Today's prompt for my 365 is a "vision of trust" based upon "belief", "certainty" and "confidence" and I here you say but where's there relevance!

 

Well, this was taken 100-yards from our Florida home and every time I see this great tree on the other side of the lake I am full of trust and belief as this is one of the most friendly places I honestly know. I could jump on my bike and leave our doors open and car unlocked with definite certainty that nobody would even take a second glance - heaven on earth!!

"We're dooooooomed", Fraser used to say, in Dad's Army (for those not in the know, a classic British comedy set in WWII). And Fraser was right, for we'll all end up dead. It occurred to me today, a Sunday, appropriately, that nearby Linch church might provide some interesting subject matter and so I took myself off there to see what I could make of the church and its surrounds. This is what I came up with. Actually I took quite a few shots in and around the gravestones but chose this one. One wonders about the names one sees in church graveyards; who was John Titcombe and what did he do? Was he a good bloke or was he, like many men of that period, a wife-beating drunk? He certainly had a good innings given the era in which he lived.

 

You may be able to make out the white writing on the memorial behind to Dorothy, only daughter of Mr and Mrs Skinner, who died in 1928 aged just 14 years and 9 months. At the foot of the memorial stands a flower vase marked 'Dorothy', now empty. The inscription above the vase says 'Our child of Heaven'. What a sad story it conjures.

There is no certainty about the name. It is certain that Doodemankisten is certainly not a pengo ruin . One of the stories that can explain the name says that 'doodemans' (short, thick, sausage-shaped bunches of wicker) were used as formwork to close off the depression in the dunes when the Groene Strand was still the white beach and the parallel dunes formed the foredune. If that were true, there must have been an open connection to the sea. Another name explanation could be a reference to a drowning graveyard.
