Mars Gradivus
Bronze
1559
By Bartolomeo Ammannati
"The majestic statue known as “Mars Gradivus” – characteristic that indicates his divinity or his battle stance – is one of Bartolomeo Ammannati’s masterpieces, a virtuous example of the cultured assimilation of Michelangelo’s lessons in the accurate rendering of the anatomy and torsion of the torso. It represents the god Mars marching at the head of an army with a baton in his right hand and a sword in his left, originally with a blade. An expenses list dated June 1559 includes transport from Ammannati’s house to the Sapienza foundry of “an earth mould to cast a bronze Mars”, providing a chronological reference that places the execution of Mars at the time when Ammannati was working on Palazzo Vecchio’s Fountain of Neptune and on “the many statues in marble and bronze” that were made, as Vasari points out, by the sculptor for Cosimo I de’ Medici. It would thus be possible to interpret the sculpture as Cosimo I’s celebration of the god under whose auspices he was born: in fact, Mars embodied the “values of virtue and intellect” laid down by Cosimo as the foundation of his government. Cosimo also chose the Capricorn as his personal emblem, an animal dear to the warrior god, and Emperor Augustus’ sign of the zodiac, and Bartolomeo placed one under Mars’ crest. The size of the statue and the references to the Duke of Florence lead to the assumption that it was intended for exhibition in a public place in the city. During the 17th century the bronze was transferred to Rome and initially placed in the gallery and then in the area in front of the loggia at Villa Medici by Cardinal Ferdinando de’ Medici, where it stood with Silenus and the infant Bacchus by Jacopo del Duca. The bronze returned to Florence in 1797 and has been on display in the Uffizi Galleries ever since."

The enthroned and bearded personification of Honor receives the victor's laurel crown from Virtue and Victory. Majesty and Respect sit like handmaidens at Honor's feet, and the most lauded rulers of history, each identified by name, flank his throne; below are ten virtuous women, plucked from mythology, the Bible and more recent apocryphal histories. The central scribe peruses the list of Honor's celebrants, whilst in the foreground an unruly mob of historical and literary protagonists beseige Honor's pavilion.
This tapestry was part of a seven-piece set presenting an allegorical guide to the qualities which a successful ruler should espouse. The set was made for Cardinal Erard de la Marck (1472–1538), Prince-Bishop of Liège, and loyal envoy and financial backer of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.
Signatures, Inscriptions, and Markings
Inscription: Names of characters, in Latin, at center, top: VICTUS (probably a misreading at cartoon or weaving stage for VIRTUS- Virtue); MAIESTAS (Majesty); REVER[N]TIA (Respect); VICTORIA (Victory).
Top tier of rulers, inscribed left to right: GODEEREDUS BUHONIUS (Godfrey of Bouillon); S. LODOVICUS (Louis IX of France); CAROL MAGN (Charlemagne); CONSTANTINUS (Emperor Constantine); DAVID (King David); OCTAVIUS (Emperor Augustus); ABRAM (Abraham); ALEXANDER MAGN (Alexander the Great).
Second tier of virtuous females: FLORE[N]TIA ROMITIA (Florence of Rome); PENELOPE (Penelope); SOMRAMIS (Semiramis); HELENA (Empress Helena); HESTER (Esther); DEBORA (the prophet Deborah); SABA (Queen of Sheba); ASIA (the continent Asia, at this time iconographically associated with the spread of Fame).
Mounting the steps to enter Honor’s pavilion are, at the left, SERTORIUS (General Sertorius) and MARCELLA (Consul Marcellus), crowned by DIGNITE (Dignity) and TRIU[M]PH (Triumph); at the right, PHOCAS (Phocias) and PHUS (unidentifiable) welcome two additional unnamed protagonists.
At upper corners: NATURA (Nature); SCRIPTRAS (Scripture).
Amongst the foreground proragonists are: IORAM (Joram), IULIANUS APOSTATA (Julian the Apostate), JEROBOAM (Jereboam), HELENA (Helen of Troy) and PARIS (Paris), TARQUIN (Sextus Tarquinius), MELISA (probably an error due to reweaving of MEDUSA), IEZEBEL (Jezebel), NERO (Emperor Nero), MARCUS ANTONI (Mark Anthony), HOLOFERNES (Holofernes) and SARDANAPALUS (King Sardanapalus)
Three inscriptions in cartouches along the uppermost register of the border: “QUISQUIS UT AD CLARUM STUDIOSUS SCANDAT HONOREM / NATURA ASSIDUIS PROVOCAT ALMA TUBIS” (“Generous nature urges with constant trumpets / Anyone to ascend zealously to glorious Honor”); “CANDIDA QUOS MISIT VIRTUS HONOR ARCE RECEPTANS / LAUREAT AMBITIO QUOS TULIT INDE FUGAT” (“Those whom shining Virtue sent, Honor receives and crowns in the citadel. Those whom Ambition inspired, he makes flee from there”); “SEDULO DOCTA IUBET MODULIS SCRIPTURA DISERTIS / NE QUIS HONORIPAROS TARDET INITRE LARES” (“Scholarly Scriptura ordains with skillful means measures that no one should delay to enter the house of Honor”).
La personificazione in trono e barbuto di Honor riceve la corona d'alloro del vincitore da Virtue and Victory. Maestà e rispetto siedono come ancelle ai piedi di Onore, ei più lodati regnanti della storia, ciascuno identificato dal nome, fiancheggiano il suo trono; sotto ci sono dieci donne virtuose, strappate alla mitologia, alla Bibbia e alle più recenti storie apocrife. Lo scriba centrale esamina la lista dei celebranti di Honor, mentre in primo piano una folla indisciplinata di protagonisti storici e letterari blocca il padiglione di Honor.
Questo arazzo faceva parte di un set di sette pezzi che presentava una guida allegorica alle qualità che un governante di successo dovrebbe sposare. Il set è stato fatto per il cardinale Erard de la Marck (1472-1538), principe-vescovo di Liegi, e inviato leale e finanziatore del Sacro Romano Imperatore Carlo V.

Of Cholmley Turner it is said on his monument that 'his ardent love for the civil and religious liberties of his country inspired him with so warm and passionate a veneration for the memory of King William that he never omitted the celebration of the fourth of November with the greatest solemnity' (Ords History of Cleveland). He was returned for the shire in the elections of 1727 and 1734 (Yorks. Diaries in 17th and 18th cents. [Surt. Soc.], i, 264, 326)
"Chomley Turner (1685–1757) of Kirkleatham, Yorkshire was a British landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1715 and 1747.
Early life
Turner was baptized on 20 July 1685, the eldest son of Charles Turner of Kirkleatham and his wife Margaret Cholmley, daughter of Sir William Cholmley, 2nd Baronet., of Whitby, Yorkshire. He matriculated at New College, Oxford in 1701. He was a wealthy country gentleman, and owned properties in Northallerton and along Tees side. He also had lead mining interests in the North Riding of Yorkshire. His great uncle Sir William Turner died in 1693 and bequeathed him a substantial amount of money to establish a Free School, which was built in 1709.[2] He married Jane Marwood, daughter of George Marwood of Little Busby, Yorkshire in 1709.
Career
Turner was returned as a Whig Member of Parliament for Northallerton at the 1715 general election. He followed Robert Walpole into opposition in 1717, and voted against the Government in all recorded divisions. He did not stand at the 1722 general election. In 1725, he was High steward of York.
Turner was returned as MP for Yorkshire at a by-election on 1 February 1727 and followed it up being returned at the 1727 general election. In Parliament he took a very independent line. He spoke on the opposition side in a debate on foreign affairs on 5 February 1729, and voted against the Government on the Hessians in 1730, the army in 1732, and the Excise Bill in 1733 but voted for the Government on the repeal of the Septennial Act in 1734. He said he would not stand at the next election, but changed his mind on receiving an invitation from the Whig county meeting at York. He was re-elected after a tough contest at the 1734 general election and voted with the Government on the navy estimates in February 1735, when he may have been influenced by the petition which was raised against his return. He also voted for the Spanish convention in 1739. He refused again to stand in 1741 but when a by-election was called he was adopted unanimously at another general Whig meeting and submitted to ‘the command of the gentlemen’. He was returned after a contest on 21 January 1742, and was elected to the secret committee of inquiry into Walpole's Administration, but never attended its meetings. His only vote in this Parliament was for the Hanoverians in 1744. In 1747 he finally retired.
Later life
Turner added other Grade I listed buildings to his estate, the most notable being the Turner Mausoleum, in memory of his son, and adjoining the Church of St Cuthbert. The mausoleum was built in 1739–40 by James Gibbs. It is of Baroque style and of an octagonal plan. It is a single storey with a basement burial chamber. The exterior is heavily rusticated, with an unusually large area vermiculated. It contains the inscription, "This mausoleum was erected 1740 to the memory of Marwood William Turner Esquire the best of sons." Cholmley Turner also retained the architect James Gibbs for building of the chapel at the almshouses. After his retirement Turner received a secret service pension of £500 a year from Pelham, but this was not renewed when Newcastle succeeded to the Treasury.
Turner died 9 May 1757 but his children pre-deceased him." wikipedia
He had made his will 10th October, 1752
"Here under lyeth the body of William Harborne / Harbourne esquire who departed this life the 7 of November 1617 (aged 75)

Memorial for the murdered Jews of Hanover
Opernplatz
“We commemorate our brothers and sisters of the Jewish community of Hanover who through haughtiness, hatred and obsession with race were driven to their death or banished, ridiculed or despised, from their home to a foreign country during the tyranny of the national socialists. We mourn for everything which was destroyed with them. Not only their temples were laid to waste through sacrilegious hands, even their wisdom, benevolence and virtuousness which could have saved worlds and could have healed many wounds, were destroyed. We mourn for capability and knowledge, laughter and smiles, which we lost with them. The world would grow poorer and our heart freezes, if we would forget the glory, which could have been. Gratefully we commemorate their example. They are like lights that shine to us from the darkness of those years, and in their splendour we see what is good – and what is evil. May such horrible times never return so their sacrifice was not in vain. Through commemorating them we gain strength in our daily struggle against cruelty, prejudice, tyranny and persecution. Amen.”
This prayer was presented by former “Landesrabbiner” (rabbi) Dr. Henry Brandt on the day of the inauguration. The following inscription is engraved on the memorial:
“This memorial was built for the lasting memory of over 6800 Jews of Hanover: Many families lived here for generations. From 1933, they were abased, disenfranchised, chased away, driven to suicide or killed by national socialists: The remaining Jewish children, women and men had to leave their apartments in 1941 and were herded together in “Judenhäusern” (Jews’ houses) with the aid of the city council. From there on they were torn out of the population, deported and murdered without particular resistance by the rest of the population.
The transports went to: Poland on 28 October, 1938; on 25 June, 1939 to Poland; on 15 December, 1941 to Riga; on 31 March, 1942 to Warsaw; on 23 June, 1942 to Theresienstadt; on 02 March, 1943 to Auschwitz; on 16 March, 1943 to Theresienstadt; on 30 June, 1943 to Theresienstadt; on 11 January, 1944 to Theresienstadt; on 20 February, 1945 to Theresienstadt. There were only a few survivors in Hanover: 27 were liberated by American soldiers in the concentration camp of Ahlem on 10 April, 1945. The names of the murdered ones are listed on the memorial as far as they are known. It was erected 50 years after by a Hanoverian citizens’ initiative supported by many citizens and the city of Hanover: Hanover, 09 October, 1994.”
In this memorial are engraved the names of 1,935 Jewish citizens of Hanover. In its inauguration in 1994, there were 1,890 names; a further 25 names which were discovered due to the latest research followed in 1997 and a further 20 in 2004. Their age data and their birth data follow 1,935 times. The places of death are mentioned 1,935 times, as far as they are known. After years of very intense discussions about the for and against, this memorial for the deported and killed Jewish citizens was handed over to the public on 9 October, 1994. This place of commemoration was built with the initiative of the association “Memoriam” with private donations.
This is Primal Rage's Slashfang. He's a sabertoothed tiger and one of the good Virtuous Beasts sent to fight Necrosan the dracolich. I think there was going to be one last version of Primal Rage released that would include these guys in the final battle. It's too bad that never happened. Slashfang is the second hardest figure to find.
The sides of the boxes are different in the art as well.
Phillips Traditional School has started a new quarterly leadership program to teach students leadership skills through the completion of virtuous projects. After raising more than $300 with a coin drive, the first quarter leadership class purchased household items for Des Moines refugee families. And those items were delivered to smiling faces on Oct 18 by Phillips staff.

Over the weekend I had an unusual shooting opportunity. My friend Mark (of Virtuous Photography) is not only the father of two girls in the dance troupe, but their "(un)official" photographer as well. (His daughter is the smaller girl all in white.) He invited me along to shoot their performance as part of the "Haunted Fairgrounds" Halloween festivities For most of the evening I was able to set up with my tripod straddling the corner of the stage, right in the thick of the action.
The shoot was challenging because of the low light, but fun and interesting too, because I've never done anything quite like this before. Because the performance was repeated, I could start to anticipate events and plan my shots as well as experiment with different settings.
