 Luke 2:14

 In his "Italian Journey" of 1787, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe also described the placement of nativity scenes in Naples during the Christmas season. He noticed that the Neapolitans would set up large nativity scenes on the flat roofs of their houses so that the scenic views of the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius could be integrated into the background of the sacred events. This nativity scene replicates just such a presentation. In doing so, the observance of the perspective and the proportions are of particular importance. In order for the nativity scene to appear harmonious, a display case of more than 10 m in depth was installed in the museum.

Eph.6:13

Leighton’s emphasis on color and form aligns Flaming June with Aestheticism, a movement that promoted the idea that a work of art could concern itself exclusively with harmony and beauty and need not convey a narrative or deeper meaning. Such was Leighton’s confidence in the power of his conception that he presented it largely without a storyline or symbolic embellishments. The scene has almost no implied action and few props; although the setting and the woman’s robes evoke ancient Greece and Rome, no detail marks a specific time or place. Instead, we are in the realm of the artist’s imagination.

"O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory."



"Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye worthy o' a grace
As lang's my arm."~~~
