Description de l’œuvre
La scène représente un moment poignant de la Passion du Christ : Jésus, assis devant un fond sombre, est couronné d’épines par deux soldats romains. L’un le saisit par les cheveux, l’autre par le poignet, accentuant la tension dramatique de l’instant. Le contraste entre la lumière et l’ombre, caractéristique du caravagisme, souligne la souffrance et la dignité du Christ .
Contexte artistique
Orazio Gentileschi, influencé par Caravage, adopte dans cette œuvre un style maniériste, combinant une composition équilibrée et une attention minutieuse aux détails. Cette peinture témoigne de sa maîtrise technique et de sa capacité à transmettre des émotions profondes à travers la représentation des figures et l’utilisation de la lumière .
Informations complémentaires
L’œuvre a été acquise par le musée Herzog Anton Ulrich auprès de la galerie Thomas Agnew & Sons. Elle est considérée comme l’une des interprétations les plus puissantes de ce thème dans l’art baroque italien
Voici une analyse approfondie de Le Couronnement d’épines d’Orazio Gentileschi, une œuvre aussi intense qu’équilibrée, qui conjugue le pathos de la Passion à la rigueur formelle du style baroque italien.
1. Composition et structure formelle
La scène est composée avec une grande clarté géométrique. Le Christ est assis, placé légèrement décentré, entouré de deux bourreaux. Cette disposition triangulaire stabilise visuellement la scène, tout en mettant en tension les forces physiques et émotionnelles en présence.
Le corps du Christ, presque nu, est représenté de profil, mais son visage se tourne vers le spectateur, créant une ligne diagonale de tension.
Les deux soldats romains sont flanqués à gauche et à droite, se penchant violemment sur lui. Leurs gestes sont dynamiques, contrastant avec l’immobilité douloureuse du Christ.
Le fond sombre isole les figures et concentre l’attention sur l’interaction physique et psychologique.
Gentileschi évite le décor narratif ou anecdotique. Il ne garde que l’essentiel : trois figures, un espace sombre et un moment suspendu.
2. Lumière et couleur
Influencé par Le Caravage, Orazio Gentileschi adopte un clair-obscur puissant mais subtil :
Une lumière venue de la gauche éclaire le torse du Christ et les visages des soldats.
Le jeu de lumière ne dramatise pas de manière spectaculaire comme chez Caravage, mais crée un effet de douceur tragique, typique du style plus lyrique d’Orazio.
Les couleurs sont sobres :
Chair pâle du Christ, mise en valeur par l’ombre environnante.
Tuniques sombres, brun rougeâtre ou verdâtres pour les soldats.
Touche d’écarlate dans les draperies, qui fait subtilement écho au sang versé.
3. Psychologie des personnages
Gentileschi met l’accent sur la dimension psychologique plutôt que spectaculaire :
Le Christ, silencieux, les yeux ouverts, regarde légèrement vers le haut. Il ne résiste pas, n’exprime pas la douleur. Il est figuré comme une figure sacrificielle digne, sereine même dans la souffrance.
Les soldats ne sont pas des caricatures de violence. L’un grimace, l’autre se concentre. Ce sont des hommes dans l’acte de faire le mal, presque mécaniquement.
On sent dans cette œuvre l’influence du maniérisme tardif de Florence (par son raffinement) et du naturalisme caravagesque (par la brutalité du sujet).
4. Violence retenue et sensualité spirituelle
La violence est bien présente :
Le Christ est tiré par les cheveux, la couronne est enfoncée avec force.
Ses poignets sont saisis, son corps est tendu.
Mais tout cela est représenté avec retenue : les gestes sont mesurés, les muscles ne sont pas exagérément contractés, le sang est à peine visible. Cela produit un effet de tension intérieure, plus que de pathos théâtral.
Il y a une sensualité douce, presque ambiguë, dans la façon dont la chair du Christ est modelée à la lumière : sa peau lisse, ses traits nobles, la ligne souple de son torse. Cette sensualité n’est jamais érotique, mais renforce le contraste entre l’innocence et la violence.
5. Contexte et interprétation spirituelle
Ce tableau date d’une période où Orazio Gentileschi, après avoir travaillé à Rome, cherche une voie personnelle entre l’influence caravagesque et une tradition plus classique.
Le thème du Couronnement d’épines symbolise la souffrance expiatoire du Christ, son acceptation volontaire de la douleur humaine.
Gentileschi insiste sur la patience héroïque du Christ, en accord avec l’iconographie catholique post-tridentine : montrer un modèle de vertu dans la douleur.
Il s’agit ici moins de montrer la violence que de méditer sur la dignité dans l’épreuve.
Conclusion
Le Couronnement d’épines d’Orazio Gentileschi est une œuvre rare, où la douleur devient beauté, où la violence est contenue par l’harmonie, où le pathos est maîtrisé par l’élégance. C’est un tableau de spiritualité intense et silencieuse, profondément humain, et d’une grande force esthétique.

Metropolitan’s 2015 multi-media water conservation advertising and outreach campaign, called “Turn.” The campaign, which will run throughout our service area this summer and fall, is built around the message that if all Southern Californians do a little to save water, it adds up to a lot.
Using eye-catching images of indoor and outdoor knobs, faucets, handles and irrigation timers, the ads show the importance of turning off water whenever possible and provide tips for conserving.
Below are links to the television commercial and some of the outdoor displays. We hope you will share this information and our bewaterwise.com website with family and friends as a way to encourage everyone to save more water.

Weck is a German brand of glass jars for conserving food, with a long tradition, dating back to the year 1900.
Their articles are still beloved for the quality and simplicity of their design. The mechanism for closing and sealing the lid is especially ingenious, combining a rubber ring and 3 metal clamps that you use to securely apply strong and even pressure.
Cette momie, très bien conservée, est celle d'un homme qui vivait à l'époque ptolémaïque. Selon les usages de cette période, le corps du défunt est soigneusement enveloppé dans des bandelettes de lin dont la disposition atteint, notamment au niveau du visage, une grande qualité artistique. Il est recouvert d'un cartonnage composé de plusieurs éléments : un masque qui couvre la tête, un large collier posé sur la poitrine, un tablier déployé sur ses jambes et enfin, une enveloppe pour les pieds.
Le décor du cartonnage
Cette momie est, d'après les résultats d'un examen radiographique, celle d'un homme adulte. Son nom, écrit de façon hâtive, pourrait se lire Pachéry ou bien Nenou : sa lecture pose encore quelques problèmes. Son visage est recouvert d'un masque aux traits harmonieux au sommet duquel est représenté un scarabée ailé, symbole de renaissance. Le large collier ousekh qui couvre sa poitrine est constitué de plusieurs rangs de perles et comporte des fermoirs en forme de tête de faucon. Sur le tablier qui couvre son corps prennent place diverses scènes réparties en registres. On peut notamment voir la momie allongée sur un lit entouré des déesses Isis et Nephthys et des quatre fils d'Horus. Enfin sur la boîte à pieds prennent place deux représentations du dieu funéraire Anubis. Les textes énumèrent les noms de tous les dieux présents auxquels le défunt confie sa destinée, appelant de tous ses voeux un bel enterrement dans la nécropole.
Un corps préservé pour l'éternité
En Egypte ancienne, tout le monde n'a pas accès aux pratiques funéraires garantissant une survie éternelle et beaucoup doivent se contenter d'une simple fosse creusée dans le désert et de quelques modestes offrandes. Pour les plus chanceux, la préservation du corps est un gage supplémentaire de survie dans l'autre monde. Celui-ci offre un nouveau support aux divers éléments constituant son être vivant dispersés au moment du décès. Si les premières momies ne sont guère plus que des corps enveloppés dans des bandes de lin imprégnées de résine, les méthodes ne tarderont pas à évoluer et seront réellement au point à partir du Nouvel Empire. Le nombre de momies augmentant beaucoup par la suite, leur qualité aura tendance à décroître. Cependant, celles de l'époque gréco-romaine sont souvent remarquables par l'arrangement très subtil de leurs bandelettes. Selon les époques, la momie pouvait être recouverte d'un vêtement, d'une résille de perles, d'un masque, d'une planche décorée en bois ou d'un cartonnage. A l'époque Ptolémaïque, ce sont différents éléments en cartonnage qui sont installés sur la momie avant qu'elle ne soit déposée dans son cercueil.
Un témoignage tardif : Hérodote
L'historien Hérodote qui a visité l'Egypte vers 450 avant J.-C. nous a laissé une description très détaillée des opérations de momification. Il rapporte notamment que trois types de traitement du corps étaient proposés, variant en qualité et bien sûr en prix. Le plus élaboré comportait l'enlèvement du cerveau et des viscères susceptibles de se corrompre. Ces derniers étaient momifiés à part et conservés dans des vases dits canopes. L'intérieur du corps était ensuite lavé avec du vin de palme, puis de la myrrhe broyée et divers aromates y étaient déposés. Le corps était ensuite recouvert de natron, pendant soixante dix jours en principe, afin d'en accélérer la déshydratation. A l'issue de ce traitement, il était entouré de bandelettes de lin imprégnées de résine entre lesquelles les prêtres prenaient soin de glisser de nombreuses amulettes protectrices..Source texte: www.louvre.fr/oeuvre-notices/momie-dhomme .

Betws Garmon Station remains. Conserved with soft capping to the repointed walls. Work done by the excellent Cyril Williams.
Peintes vers 1080-1120, les peintures romanes sont très bien conservées et extrêmement bien réali-sées. Bien que lacunaire, ce programme est riche de plusieurs thèmes iconographiques. Sur le mur est, une frise grecque avec effet de relief et différents oiseaux parcourt tout le baptistère. Entre les deux oculi, un Christ avec un nimbe crucifère se tient en majesté dans sa mandorle avec un livre ouvert où est inscrit EGO [SUM V] I [TA] : Je suis la vie (Jean, XIV, 6). Autour de lui, deux anges épousent parfaitement la forme des fenêtres, tous deux tournés vers les Apôtres désignant le Christ. Ceux-ci ne sont pas reconnaissables individuellement, hormis saint Pierre à la droite du Christ. Ils sont en mouvement et marchent sur des vagues représentants le monde sur lequel répandre la parole divine, avec au dessus d'eux une inscription en latin AS-CENDO AD PA-TREM [MEUM E] T PA-TREM [VES-TRVM, DEVM ET DEVM VES-TRVM]. VI[RI G]A[LIL] EI [QVIS S]TA[TIS AS-PI-CIENT] ES IN CELVM. HIC HIESVS QVI ASVMTVS EST A VOBIS : Je monte vers mon Père et votre Père, mon Dieu et votre Dieu. Galilée qui lève les yeux au ciel. C'est Jésus qui vous a été enlevé.
Sous le Christ la main de Dieu représentée dans un médaillon. Sur l’arc en plein cintre, un Agnus Dei et deux anges thuriféraires, avec sous cet arc des personnages non identifiables dans des médaillons. Enfin, sur le dernier registre du mur, deux cavaliers sont situés de part et d’autre, le premier complètement effacé dont ne reste que la tête du cheval. A droite, le cavalier Constantin tenant un sceptre et un orbe, et marchant dans la direction du Christ, est le seul des quatre dont l’identité nous soit parvenue. Sur cette partie du mur se superposent le cavalier roman et les dernières scènes du cycle de la vie de saint Jean-Baptiste, datant du XIIIe siècle.
Sur le mur Nord, de gauche à droite, se situent une figure profane, un paon sous chaque oculi et sous l’arc en mitre un saint anonyme, avec à droite du mur deux apôtres. Sur le mur Ouest, les peintures sont très endommagées, un paon est tou-jours visible bien que pâle, un vase ocre s'y distingue aussi (vase de vie ou pour utiliser le chrême en vue d'oindre les catéchumènes. Un deuxième paon devait se trouver à côté avec, plus bas, deux autres cavaliers dont l’un est complet, couronné et tenant un sceptre. Le quatrième et dernier cavalier est lui aussi endommagé, seul le haut de son corps étant visible tenant les rênes de son cheval.
Sur le mur Sud, deux apôtres, non complets avec sous l’oculus un paon et sous l’arc en mitre, saint Maurice d’Agaune, désigné ici par MAVRICIVS en habit de légionnaire, ses reliques étant conservées dans la cathédrale primitive. Sous le second oculus, un dragon fait face à un homme brandissant une épée, symbole du combat entre le bien et le mal. Entre ces deux figures, une inscription CIL CRIA MARCI ET VRNA : il demanda grâce et s’enfuit (plus vieille inscription connue en langue vernaculaire) (cf. fra.archinform.net).

The Zwinger (Der Dresdner Zwinger) is a palace in Dresden, eastern Germany, built in Baroque style.
The location was formerly part of the Dresden fortress of which the outer wall is conserved. The name derives from the German word Zwinger (outer ward of a concentric castle); it was for the cannons that were placed between the outer wall and the major wall. The Zwinger was not enclosed until the neoclassical building by Gottfried Semper called the Semper wing was built to host the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister art gallery.
The name Zwinger goes back to the common medieval German term for that part of a fortification between the outer and inner defensive walls, or "outer ward". Archaeological evidence indicates that the construction of the first city wall took place in the last quarter of the 12th century. A documentary entry as civitas in 1216 points to the existence of an enclosed Dresden Fortification at that time. In 1427, during the Hussite Wars, work began on strengthening the city's defences and they were enhaned by a second - outer - wall. These improvements began near the Wildruffer Tor gate. Step by step the old moat had to be filled in and moved. The area between the two walls was generally referred to as the Zwinger and, in the vicinity of the castle, was utilised by the royal court at Dresden for garden purposes. The location of the so-called Zwingergarten from that period is only imprecisely known to be between the fortifications on the western side of the city.[1][2] Its extent varied in places as a result of subsequent improvements to the fortifications and is depicted differently on the various maps.
This royal Zwingergarten, a garden used to supply the court, still fulfilled one of its functions, as indicated by the name, as a narrow defensive area between the outer and inner defensive walls. This was no longer the case when work on the present-day Zwinger palace began in the early 18th century, nevertheless the name was transferred to the new building. Admittedly the southwestern parts of the building of the baroque Dresden Zwinger including the Kronentor gate stand on parts of the outer curtain wall that are still visible today; but there is no longer any trace of the inner wall
Augustus the Strong, elector of Saxony, returned from a grand tour through France and Italy in 1687–89, just at the moment that Louis XIV moved his court to Versailles. On his return to Dresden, having arranged his election as King of Poland (1697), he wanted something similarly spectacular for himself. The fortifications were no longer needed and provided readily available space for his plans. The original plans, as developed by his court architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann before 1711, covered the space of the present complex of palace and garden, and also included as gardens the space down to the Elbe River, upon which the Semper opera house and its square were built in the nineteenth century.
The Zwinger was designed by Pöppelmann and constructed in stages from 1710 to 1728. Sculpture was provided by Balthasar Permoser. The Zwinger was formally inaugurated in 1719, on the occasion of the electoral prince Frederick August’s marriage to the daughter of the Habsburg emperor, the Archduchess Maria Josepha. At the time, the outer shells of the buildings had already been erected and, with their pavilions and arcaded galleries, formed a striking backdrop to the event. It was not until the completion of their interiors in 1728, however, that they could serve their intended functions as exhibition galleries and library halls.
The death of Augustus in 1733 put a halt to the construction because the funds were needed elsewhere. The palace area was left open towards the Semperoper square and the river. Later the plans were changed to a smaller scale, and in 1847–1855 the area was closed by the construction of the gallery wing now separating the Zwinger from the opera place; the architect was Gottfried Semper, who designed the opera house.
The building was mostly destroyed by the carpet bombing raids of 13–15 February 1945. The art collection had been evacuated before, though. After the war, in a referendum, the people of Dresden voted to restore the building and generally preferred to rebuild the glories of the city, instead of having the ruins razed to make way for the architecture of socialist realism then prevalent in the German Democratic Republic.

The balustrade of the palace has been remodeled, conserving the murals by Diego Rivera that adorn the main stairwell and the walls of the second floor.
In the stairwell is a mural depicting the history of Mexico from 1521 to 1930 and covers an area of 450 m2. These murals were painted between 1929 and 1935, jointly titled "The Epic of the Mexican People". The work is divided like a triptych with each being somewhat autonomous. The right-hand wall contains murals depicting pre-Hispanic Mexico and centers around the life of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl.
In the middle and largest panel, the Conquest is depicted with its ugliness, such as rape and torture, as well as priests defending the rights of the indigenous people. The battle for independence occupies the uppermost part of this panel in the arch. The American and French invasions are represented below this, as well as the Reform period and the Revolution.
The left-hand panel is dedicated to early and mid-20th century, criticizing the status quo and depicting a Marxist kind of utopia.
Diego also painted 11 panels on the middle floor, such as the "Tianguis of Tlatelolco" (tianguis means "market"), and the "Arrival of Hernán Cortés in Veracruz".

Ce torse fragmentaire appartient à une série de répliques (dont la meilleure est conservée au musée national d'Athènes) qui permettent d'en reconstituer l'attitude. Il faut ainsi imaginer un jeune homme nu, debout, en appui sur la jambe droite, la jambe gauche légèrement portée vers l'arrière ; les bras levés, l'athlète attachait une bandelette de victoire autour de son front.
Polyclète et le Canon
On reconnaît dans ce type statuaire l'écho d'un bronze créé vers 440-430 av. J.-C. par le sculpteur Polyclète. Les mentions littéraires font en effet état d'un Diadumène réalisé par l'artiste. Plus probante encore est l'indéniable parenté qui unit le type à celui du Doryphore, l'œuvre la plus célèbre de Polyclète, connue par diverses copies, et qui passe pour être l'illustration plastique de son traité, le Canon. Le Canon s'inscrit bien dans les courants intellectuels du milieu du Ve siècle av. J.-C. Philosophes, architectes ou sculpteurs cherchent alors la beauté idéale dans le recours à des systèmes de nombres. Polyclète applique ces théories en réalisant des effigies d'athlètes dont l'anatomie toute entière est régie par de savants calculs. Il établit ainsi un modèle d'équilibre qui fera largement école. Cet équilibre est assuré par un système de réponses croisées (la ligne du bassin répond, de façon inversée, à celle des épaules : c'est le contrapposto) ainsi que par une composition intellectualisée de l'anatomie, qui ne doit rien au hasard. On constate par exemple que l'arc thoracique répond à celui formé par les aines, tandis que la largeur des pectoraux est égale à la distance qui les sépare du nombril et à celle séparant le nombril du sexe. L'harmonie de l'ensemble passe également par la lisibilité de la "cuirasse musculaire", organisée en masses claires et bien délimitées.
Une autre interprétation du Canon
Mais le Diadumène propose une solution assouplie des principes énoncés dans le Doryphore ; en cela, il est une variation du Canon.
En effet, le mouvement provoqué par le soulèvement des bras crée un élan vertical et modifie les réponses musculaires du torse. L'anatomie s'en trouve affinée, tandis que l'attitude est assouplie par une inclinaison accentuée des épaules. L'impression générale est celle d'une plus grande légèreté dans les proportions, qui a pu faire dire à certains qu'il y avait là contamination de l'art attique, mais qui en tout cas justifie une datation postérieure à celle du Doryphore.
Aussi naturelle que puisse paraître son attitude, il ne faut donc pas voir dans le Diadumène la représentation d'un quelconque athlète savourant sa victoire. Sa réalisation procède d'une recherche intellectuelle rigoureuse qui trouve son expression plastique dans cette anatomie idéale et pensée. Ce corps recomposé par les calculs mathématiques fait du Diadumène l'idée, non le portrait, d'un athlète, et le place définitivement hors de notre monde.
NEW JERSEY’S BALD EAGLE POPULATION CONTINUES TO SOAR
January 14th, 2016
CONSERVE WILDLIFE FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY RELEASES RESULTS OF 2015 STATE BALD EAGLE REPORT
by Lindsay McNamara, Communications Manager
Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey today released the 2015 Bald Eagle Report, highlighting the number of nesting pairs, active nests and nest productivity for the raptors throughout New Jersey with data collected by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Division of Fish and Wildlife biologists, CWF biologists and committed volunteers.
“With 161 pairs of bald eagles this past year — up from just a single nest in the early 1980’s — the dramatic ongoing recovery of bald eagles across the northeast continues to inspire so many of us,” said David Wheeler, Conserve Wildlife Foundation Executive Director. “The thrill of seeing a bald eagle fly across the sky is unparalleled. This report captures how these eagles are continuing their All-American return.”
The report notes that thirteen new eagle pairs were found this season, nine in the south, two in Central Jersey and two in Northern New Jersey.

A conserved 14th Century castle over a town of the same name, originally one of the local guard castles, standing perfectly in one line. It served for many centuries and was maintained, but after it was besieged by imperial armies in 1621, and burned down by Polish cossacks in 1624, it was ruined and partially collapsed in 1783, none of the palaces survived. Insensitive reconstruction into a tourist place began in 1899, which incorporated new buildings into the walls and destroyed many remaining parts. The most significant part is the main tower, 40 meters high, today a lookout.

I got inspired and created this amazing conserve. Three tiny jars in the pantry, and one small container in the fridge. Ooohh, yum!!
Fig Conserve
1 pint of dark figs - I was going to use the ones off of my dad's tree, but the squirrels got all the ripe ones!
1" chunk of ginger sliced thinly
A handfull of prunes, chopped
A small handful of golden raisins
A small dollop of honey
4 bruised allspice berries
A bit of water as necessary
Combine everything in a heavy bottomed sauce pot. Simmer and stir through an entire movie or until the figs are melted together and the raisins are plump. Simmer and stir again the next day. Fish out the ginger and allspice. Feed the ginger to your candied ginger loving man friend while you process in jars.
Here it is served on thinly sliced pears with chunks of goat cheese. Yum!

La partie la mieux conservée des ruines est de style gothique et date vraisemblablement de la fin du XIIIe-début du XIVe siècle, Elle relève peut-être de la campagne de reconstruction consécutive au saccage anglais de 1294. L'église est à nef unique de deux travées, dont les voûtes sur croisée d'ogives se sont effondrées. Cependant les murs gouttereaux et la façade occidentale sont presque intacts.
La nef s'ouvre sur un transept dont les deux croisillons présentaient chacun de petites chapelles rectangulaires orientées, dont ne restent que les fondations, relativement épierrées. Dans le prolongement de la nef et du transept se dresse le chœur, d'une travée autrefois voûtée sur croisée d'ogives dont ne restent que les arrachements sur les murs, renforcés à leur extrémité par des maçonneries plus récentes. Le mur oriental est percé d'une immense baie privée de son remplage, depuis longtemps disparu. Cette partie date vraisemblablement du XVe siècle et de reconstructions après la guerre de Cent Ans), et donc postérieure au reste de l'édifice.
Il ne reste pratiquement plus rien des anciens locaux conventuels, plusieurs fois détruits et finalement démantelés au XVIIe siècle pour construire le fort de la Prée situé plus loin. Le carré du cloître, au nord de l'église, est cependant visible, le mur-bahut le délimitant autrefois ayant été rétabli, de même que le dallage des galeries avec un petit jardin en son centre. De la salle capitulaire, située contre le croisillon nord du transept et jouxtant la sacristie, ne subsistent, tout comme cette dernière, que des murs arasés et un sol épierré. Au nord du cloître s'élevait le réfectoire dont il ne reste qu'un pan de mur présentant encore trois anciens chapiteaux et départs de voûte, dans le même style que celui de l'abbatiale. C'est d'ailleurs le seul vestige en élévation des bâtiments claustraux.
Les éléments mis au jour lors des fouilles archéologiques sont visibles à la Maison du Platin à La Flotte, à proximité immédiate du port, sur le front de mer (cf. wikipédia).

Conserved remains of a gothique castle, founded in early 14th Century. It stood on the rebel side in the Hussite side, but its owner switched sides in the last phase of the conflict, and the castle was unsuccesfuly besieged by Hussites in 1434. The owning lord is mentioned a few weeks later as one of the knights, who decided the battle of Lipany, in which the Hussites were definitely crushed. The castle was used together with a newly built baroque manor until 1621, when both were plundered and burned down by imperial soldiers. The manor was quickly restored, but the castle was abandoned, and parts of it were systematically demolished, after the whole county was sold to a enterpreneur. When his son, after he inherited the castle, is elevated to a noble in 1865, he sees himslef to be a successor to the knight tradition of the castle, stops its destruction and begins conservation efforts. In the communist era the ruin was statically conserved in the then-typical way, which was not the most sensitive, it was returned together with the manor to their last owners in 1990ies, and is freely accessible today, with deep cellars and tight tunnels undergrounds.

Alchemy, the business strategy consulting firm, was on hand at the Conserving the Future conference to help visually map out the future of conservation.
Talk about ungrateful! I have conserved these wasps over the years, allowing them to nest wherever they wanted, because they are not aggressive if one doesn't threaten them or their nests. I do not kill them to photograph them; I photograph them in natura or dead from some unknown cause.
Today I threatened one that I did not see by placing my hand on it as it was perched on a stool in my astronomical observatory. It stung my left pinky, causing me considerable pain. The wasp was unhurt, though it flew out through the open door and I don't think it will survive long in the cold, windy weather. An ice pack wrapped in a towel, some Tylenol, and a bit of hydrocortisone ointment eased the pain within an hour, and I am left with a bit of swelling, stiffness, and soreness. I have removed my wedding band in case my adjacent ring finger swells as well.

Le théâtre d'Épidaure a été édifié au IVe siècle av. J.-C. ou au début du IIIe siècle av. J.-C. pour accueillir les Asclépiéia (ou jeux asclépiens), concours en l'honneur du dieu médecin Asclépios. Il a servi de modèle à de nombreux autres théâtres grecs.
Le théâtre d'Épidaure est le mieux conservé et passe pour le plus accompli de tous les théâtres grecs antiques. Probablement construit au début du iiie siècle av. J.-C.1, il est parvenu jusqu'à nous dans un état exceptionnel. Les gradins de calcaire gris, presque tous d'origine, n'ont été restaurés que sur les deux ailes.
Le koilon, qui signifie le « creux », appelé aussi cavea en latin, formant l'ensemble des sièges des spectateurs, se développe en un hémicycle de 55 rangées de gradins, divisé en deux niveaux par un couloir appelé diazôma. Il était constitué, à l'origine, de 34 volées de gradins, pouvant accueillir 6 200 spectateurs répartis sur 12 sections (kerkidès) séparées par 13 escaliers. Le niveau supérieur, ajouté au IIe siècle av. J.-C., compte 21 gradins et 22 kerkidès. La capacité du théâtre se trouva ainsi portée à 12 000 spectateurs1. Il a été remarqué que les rapports entre les nombres de ces gradins des deux niveaux encadrent le nombre d'or (34/21 = 55/34 = 1,61..). Le sommet des gradins, d'un rayon de 58 m, se trouve situé à 22,50 m au-dessus de l'orchestra.
Des sièges d'honneur en pierre, pourvus de dossiers, occupent le premier rang (proédria), tout autour de l'orchestra. Lors de la construction, l'orchestra circulaire de terre battue, de 20,28 m de diamètre, circonscrite par des dalles de marbre, accueillait les acteurs aussi bien que le chœur des danseurs et des musiciens. La scène (skènè) quadrangulaire, dont on distingue encore les soubassements, fut ajoutée par la suite, ainsi que l'avant-scène (proskénion), avec ses 14 colonnes. Les portes d'entrée monumentales (parodoi) ont été reconstituées1.
L'acoustique du théâtre d’Épidaure est justement renommée. Le moindre son produit au bas des gradins se propage jusqu'aux rangées supérieures. Les visiteurs en font traditionnellement l'expérience par des chuchotements, une chute de pièce de monnaie ou une allumette craquée en plein centre de l'orchestra, là où se trouve une dalle circulaire, réputée pour être l'autel (thymélé) du dieu Dionysos.
(Wikipedia)
The theatre of Epidaurus was built in the 4th or early 3rd century BC to host the Asclepia (or Asclepian Games), a competition in honour of the physician god Asclepius. It served as a model for many other Greek theatres.
The theatre of Epidaurus is the best preserved and is considered the most accomplished of all ancient Greek theatres. It was probably built in the early 2nd century BC1 and has survived in exceptional condition. The grey limestone tiers, almost all of which are original, have only been restored on the two wings.
The koilon, which means "hollow", also called cavea in Latin, forming the spectators' seats, develops into a hemicycle of 55 rows of stands, divided into two levels by a corridor called diazôma. Originally, it consisted of 34 flights of tiers, which could accommodate 6,200 spectators in 12 sections (kerkides) separated by 13 staircases. The upper level, added in the 2nd century BC, had 21 tiers and 22 kerkides. The capacity of the theatre was thus increased to 12,000 spectators1. It has been noted that the ratios between the numbers of these tiers on both levels are within the golden ratio (34/21 = 55/34 = 1.61..). The top of the tiers, with a radius of 58 m, is located 22.50 m above the orchestra.
Stone seats of honour with backrests were placed in the first row (proedria) around the orchestra. At the time of construction, the circular clay orchestra, 20.28 m in diameter, was enclosed by marble slabs and was used for the actors as well as the chorus of dancers and musicians. The quadrangular stage (skènè), the foundations of which can still be seen, was added later, as was the proscenium with its 14 columns. The monumental entrance doors (parodoi) have been reconstructed1.
The acoustics of the theatre of Epidaurus are justly renowned. The slightest sound produced at the bottom of the stands is transmitted to the upper rows. Visitors traditionally experience this through whispers, a falling coin or a cracked match in the centre of the orchestra, where there is a circular slab, reputed to be the altar (thymel) of the god Dionysus.
