By the year 1700 ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐†๐ž๐ซ๐ฆ๐š๐ง-๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ž๐š๐ค๐ข๐ง๐  ๐œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ have once more become articulate. For over a century the disorderly aftermath of the Reformation, followed by the dreary, interminable horrors of the Thirty Years War, had kept them from playing a part in the history of civilisation. Then peace, stability, the natural strength of the land, and ๐š ๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ข๐š๐ซ ๐ฌ๐จ๐œ๐ข๐š๐ฅ ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐š๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, allowed them to add to the sum of European experience two shining achievements, one in music, the other in architecture. Of course the music is more important to us. In a period when poetry was almost dead, when the visual arts were little more than a shadow of what they had been, when the emotional life seemed almost to have dried up, music expressed the most serious thoughts and intuitions of the time, just as painting had done in the early sixteenth century. This chapter is primarily about music ; and some of the qualities of eighteenth-century music -its melodious flow, its complex symmetry, its decorative invention - are reflected in the architecture; but not its deeper appeal to the emotions. And yet the Rococo style has a place in civilisation. Serious-minded people used to call it shallow and corrupt, chiefly because it was intended to give pleasure; well, the founders of the American Constitution, who were far from frivolous, thought fit to mention the pursuit of happiness as a proper aim for mankind, and if ever this aim has been given visible form it is in Rococo architecture - the pursuit of happiness and the pursuit of love.~~~Kenneth Clark: ๐‚๐ˆ๐•๐ˆ๐‹๐ˆ๐’๐€๐“๐ˆ๐Ž๐.

Apollo of the Belvedere

Jas.1:3
"Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience."

"What is civilisation ? I don't know. I can't define it in abstract terms - yet. But I think I can recognise it when I see it ; and I am looking at it now. Ruskin said : 'Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts, the book of their deeds, the book of their words and the book of their art. Not one of these books.can be understood unless we read the two others, but of the three the only trustworthy one is the last.' On the whole I think this is true. Writers and politicians may come out with all sorts of edifying sentiments, but they are what is known as declarations of intent. If I had to say which was telling the truth about society, a speech by a Minister of Housing or the actual buildings put up in his time, I should believe the buildings.
But this doesn't mean that the history of civilisation is the history of art far from it. Great works of art can be produced in barbarous societies - in fact the very narrowness of primitive society gives their ornamental art a peculiar concentration and vitality. At some time in the ninth century one could have looked down the Seine and seen the prow of a Viking ship coming up the river. Looked at today in the British Museum it is a powerful work of art ; but to the mother of a farnily trying to settle down in her little hut, it would have seemed less agreeable --as menacing to her civilisation as the periscope of a nuclear submarine.
An even more extreme example comes to my mind, an African mask that belonged to Roger Fry. I remember when he bought it and hanged it up, and we agreed that it had all the qualities of a great work of art. I fancy that most people, nowadays, would find it more moving than the HEAD of the Apollo of the Belvedere. Yet for four hundred years after it was discovered the Apollo was the most admired piece of sculpture in the world."~~~

“La cรกrcel es profunda y de piedra; su forma, la de un hemisferio casi perfecto, si bien el piso (que tambiรฉn es de piedra) es algo menor que un cรญrculo mรกximo, hecho que agrava de algรบn modo los sentimientos de opresiรณn y de vastedad. Un muro medianero la corta; รฉste, aunque altรญsimo, no toca la parte superior de la bรณveda; de un lado estoy yo, Tzinacรกn, mago de la pirรกmide de Qaholom, que Pedro de Alvarado incendiรณ; del otro hay un jaguar, que mide con secretos pasos iguales el tiempo y el espacio del cautiverio. A ras del suelo, una larga ventana con barrotes corta el muro central. En la hora sin sombra se abre una trampa en lo alto,, y un carcelero que han ido borrando los aรฑos maniobra una roldana de hierro, y nos baja en la punta de un cordel, cรกntaros con agua y trozos de carne. La luz entra en la bรณveda; en ese instante puedo ver al jaguar.”--- Jorge Luis Borges: La escritura del dios (El Aleph)

 

 


A scene from the tomb of the Ancient Egyptian workman Inherkhau. He was "Foreman of the Lord of the Two Lands in the Place of Truth", during the reigns of Ramesses III and Ramesses IV and he also has the title "Chief of works of the Lord of the Two Lands". These two titles tell us that he headed the community of craftsmen of Deir-el-Medina. He is represented here Kneeling before the lion "Aker" who was the god of the Horizon and also guarded the gate to the Underworld and opened it for those who were ready to enter the Court of Osiris in the Judgment Hall.
