Dedicated in 1993, the memorial honors the approximately 265,000 military and civilian women who served during the Vietnam War. It remains the first—and still the only—memorial on the National Mall specifically recognizing the service of military women.
Rain fell throughout much of Memorial Day this year. Despite the weather, visitors continued to stop, reflect, and leave tributes at the memorial.
Dedicated to jomak14 my Philadelphia based contact. Have a look at his stream (Very diversified. My favorites are his macros and bokehs).
This is a detail of a nine-foot bronze bust that portrays Benjamin Franklin named Keys To Community by American sculptor James Peniston and sits at the front of Girard Fountain Park in the Old City neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Over two years, the sculptor visited two dozen Philadelphia elementary schools, where he talked about Franklin's activities as a community-builder. He also asked the students to bring in a spare key to be worked into the sculpture, and ultimately collected more than 1,000 keys. The keys, worked into the statue's surface, are meant to represent the role of community organizers, donors and volunteers in making projects around the city possible. (Source: wikipedia - the linked wikipedia page also provides a picture of the bust nearly in its entirety)

Base dedicated by the team sponsor, Atarbos, to the winners of the military Pyrrhic dance contest and of the circular dance contest. The two blocs of the base supported three bronze statues of different sizes.
The relief on the left bloc [Bloc A] represent seven men arranged in two groups of similar figures, moving towards a female figure; the rightmost group is adjacent to a woman portrayed with her head turned 3/4-view to right; her left leg supports the weight, while the right one is relaxed; she wears a long-sleeved chiton, a himation draped over her left shoulder and around her torso, falling back over her bent left arm; the right hand is near to her side.
On the right, Bloc B, there is a female character taller and slimmer than the previous one: she could be the personification of Panathenaia. The woman is portrayed standing 3/4-view to the right, the weight on her left leg, the right one is relaxed. Her clothing is similar to that of the woman portrayed in the Bloc A. In front of her there are eight nude youths arranged in two groups of four. Each one has the weight on his right foot and the bent left leg pulled behind it. The youths wear a small (Attic) helmet; their slightly bent right arm, with clenched fist, is close to side; they hold a sharply foreshortened round shield on their outstretched left arm. The shields of the dancers overlap by a different degree.
Two narrow bands (ca. 3 cm.) above the reliefs of the two blocs bear an inscription reading:
Block A: νική[σας κυκλίωι χο]ρῶι.
Block B: [πυρριχ]ισταῖς νικήσας Ἄταρβος Λυ[σιστράτου. -- Κ]ηφισό[δ]ωρο[ς ἦρχε]
[IG 2.2, 3157]
Block A: Having won with a cyclic chorus.
Block B: Having won with pyrrhic dancers, Atarbos son of Ly[sistratos] (dedicated). Kephisodoros [was archon].
Thus, as indicated by the inscription, the pose and the attire of the dancers, the scene carved on the Bloc B represents the pyrrhic dance, one of the earliest contests in the "Panathenaia" . The figures on the Bloc A are harder to identify. According to the inscription carved on the base, some scholars suggest that they are the participants in the "Dithyramb", a tribal contest first instituted in Athens as a tribal event at Great "Dionysia" in 509/508.

Dedicated to Saint Peter and located on the path to Compostela (and therefore a UNESCO World Heritage site), the Benedictine abbey of Moissac was founded in the 700s. According to legend, it was founded even earlier, in 506, by the freshly converted Clovis, King of the Franks, but there is no historical evidence that this ever happened. Affiliated to Cluny from 1047, it became the most powerful monastery of southwestern France and numbered over 1,000 monks —most likely including lay brothers, though.
There is so much to say about the abbey of Moissac that I will, for the most part, refer my readers to the many lengthy internet pages that describe it, not to mention of course the Quercy roman book by Zodiaque. The most famous parts are the stunning tympanum, the iconic statue of Saint Jeremy and the Year 1100 cloister with its 7- capitals, most of them historied. All of those are masterpieces fo Romanesque art and known worldwide.
The abbey was on the very first list of Historic Landmarks in 1840. It is an absolute must-see for all people interested in the Middle Ages, and we will devote quite a few days to its visit.
One last view of the cloister: the southern gallery, propped up against the church, and the cedar tree.
National Museum, Oslo – Cast Hall
Visitors to the new National Museum in Oslo may be surprised—and perhaps moved—to find a dedicated hall of plaster casts among the sleek, modern galleries. The presence of these replicas pays homage to a formative chapter in art education and museum history: a time before commercial travel, digital media, and visual saturation, when even well-educated Europeans could rarely, if ever, encounter the originals of world art.
In 1904, when painter Ivar Lund depicted the Interior of the National Gallery, cast halls served both pedagogical and cultural missions. They democratized access to Greco-Roman antiquity and Renaissance masterworks, offering a surrogate form of aesthetic communion. These casts were not dismissed as mere imitations; rather, they were prized as tools of knowledge—objects to be studied, copied, and internalized.
Importantly, many casts were made using molds taken directly from the originals. Classical sculptures in major European collections—such as the Louvre, the Vatican Museums, and the British Museum—were at times permitted to serve as sources for plaster molds, particularly in the 19th century. If viewers knew or believed that a cast had been taken from such a mold, that knowledge was often sufficient to establish the object’s authenticity in their eyes. Few would have fixated on the missing aura of the original.
Even today, in an era obsessed with provenance, attribution, and originality, the authenticity of so-called “originals” is far from guaranteed. In the murky world of dealers, restorers, and curators, forgeries and misattributions remain a known hazard. A museum label, even in the British Museum or the Met, is not a metaphysical guarantee of truth. What casts offer—paradoxically—is clarity: a frank acknowledgment of derivation and replication that frees the viewer to engage directly with the sculpture’s visual and formal language.
As Jeannine’s pencil drawing of the Nike of Samothrace (a cast of the Louvre original) reminds us, to draw is still to see. The museum provides paper and pencils and invites the public to try their hand at sketching under the motto "to draw is to see." The replication of the ancient masterpiece, no less than the act of sketching it, forms a bridge between observer and observed. It demands attention, patience, and fidelity—not to provenance, but to form.
The very presence of casts in a 21st-century museum affirms a deeper philosophy: that art’s value lies not only in originality but in transmission. That touchstones of cultural memory must remain physically accessible, even in duplicate. That learning still begins with looking—long and hard—and that beauty survives translation.
