Lucas Cranach the Elder was a German Renaissance painter and printmaker in woodcut and engraving. He was court painter to the Electors of Saxony for most of his career, and is known for his portraits, both of German princes and those of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation, whose cause he embraced with enthusiasm. He was a close friend of Martin Luther. Cranach also painted religious subjects, first in the Catholic tradition, and later trying to find new ways of conveying Lutheran religious concerns in art. He continued throughout his career to paint nude subjects drawn from mythology and religion.

Прикольные скульптуры и пямятники котов

Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (1827 – 1875) was a French sculptor and painter who did most of his work during the Second Empire under Napoleon III. Carpeaux was born Valenciennes, Nord, the son of a mason. His talent was recognized by his parents when he was only ten; in his early teens he studied under the sculptor Rude, then at 17 he entered the École des Beaux-Arts. In 1854 he won the Prix de Rome, an intensely competitive scholarship that sent 4 to 6 young French artists to Rome to study for three years. In Rome, Carpeaux studied mainly the works of Michelangelo, Donatello and Verrocchio. He stayed in Rome until 1861. While a student in Rome, Carpeaux submitted a plaster version of Pêcheur napolitain à la coquille, the Neapolitan Fisherboy, to the French Academy. He carved the marble version several years later, showing it in the Salon exhibition of 1863. It was purchased for Napoleon III's empress, Eugènie. In 1861 he created what is today his most famous work, Ugolino and his Sons. This is a story from Dante's Inferno. Ugolino betrayed his side in Italy's wars but was then caught by his former allies and left in a tower to starve to death. According to legend, his children and grandchildren were imprisoned with him, leaving him the choice of eating his own children or starving. Carpeaux had a habit of making many different versions of each of his works. The original commission for Ugolino was for a large bronze to be installed in the Tuileries Gardens. But he also produced this monumental marble, now in the Met, and other smaller versions. Some of his works were sold as porcelain statuettes. (He sold boatloads of the Neopolitan Fisherboy, and he later made a similar figure of a girl so they could be sold as a set.) As I noted a while back about the great neoclassicist Canova, these days we tend to like our art a little rough, and some of Carpeaux's plaster casts are more admired than his finished marble and bronze works. (The Times: "The small bravura studies are among the most engaging (and modern) works in the show.") Above, plaster model for Le Chinois; at the top of the post is the model for a dancer's head. Another of Carpeaux's famous masterpieces is La Danse, created in 1869 for Garnier's new opera house in Paris. This was considered obscene by many and caused quite a scandal, and it might actually have been removed had not the Franco-Prussian War come along to distract the public. Bust of Napoleon III. And another of Chardon-Lagache (plaster version because that is what the Met chose to put in their big show a few years back). Carpeaux died at the age of 48, of cancer, after being sick for many years; he also struggled financially for much of his life. Yet except for Ugolino, done when he was young, little anguish shows in his work. The Triumph of Flora in plaster and marble. Napoleon III's son with his pet dog, which bore the inauspicious name (or so it seems to me) of Nero. Another work of which many, many copies were sold. La Frieleuse, 1871.

Prague "I'm in Letná Park," she begins, accepting my invitation to step into the center of the circle and tell her story where everyone can see her. "They have cut down the trees. Our precious lindens are just stumps. I feel the blood of the trees." She is crying now, weeping over the rape of the land. "There is worse. They have put up the Stalin Monument again. Its black shadow falls over the Old Town. The curse of Stalin is falling over my country again." Everyone in the room feels the shadow of this dream. It carries collective memories of Soviet oppression in this country in an earlier era, laced with fears about what Putin's regime in Russia is planning today. The Stalin Monument on Letna hill, overlooking the Vltava River and the Old Town of Prague, was the largest group statue in Europe. It depicted Stalin leading two lines of faithful Socialists, Czech and Russian, into a bright Marxist-Leninist future. Czechs, who have often fought tyranny with humor, called it "The Line for Meat." Even beyond its monumental ugliness and hubris, there was strangeness about this construction. The sculptor, Otakar Svec, killed himself the night before the monument was unveiled in 1955, just a year before Khrushchev denounced Stalin. The Communist government in Prague waited until 1962 to blow it up, which required massive quantities of explosive. The gargantuan plinth remained, and was topped by a giant metronome that uncomfortable evoked the hammer and sickle for mant. There has been ongoing debate since the "velvet revolution" about what to do with the site, which is widely called "Stalin" to this day." Zora, the dreamer, was born in Stalin's era. Many of the families of the dreamers gathered in our pleasant space at Maitrea, just behind Old Town Square in Prague, suffered imprisonment under Soviet rule. So: here we are with the first dream shared on the first full day of my workshop in Prague, and the chill of a horrible past history and the edginess of the current situation along Russia's borders weighs heavy on all of the 52 people in our space. We need to move the energy. We need to make the land green again, and exorcize the overweight ghost of Stalin. "Let's turn this dream into theater," I propose. Zora was eager to see how this would work. No problem recruiting players to become the sad, broken trees in the park and the hill itself. In an instant, our space is transformed. We see and hear the pain of the butchered trees. A good-natured Czech chemist agrees to play the Stalin Monument, and adopted the correct position, one foot forward, eyes fixed on that bright Socialist future. His posture breaks the unease in the room. Wild laughter and clapping begin. Zora spreads her arms wide, becoming the eagle of her dream, circling the room on straight wings. "You are in command here," I call to her. "Your dream is alive around you. You can do anything you like to make a better story. You can restore the trees. You can recruit an army of helpers to plant seedlings. You can demolish the Stalin Monument so thoroughly that its ghost will never be seen again." With amazing speed and energy, under Zora's lead, our players bring the trees back to life. They dance with Stalin, pulling the figure out of its rigid Line for Meat stance. "Let's turn Stalin's statue into a fertility goddess!" a wit proposes. The chemist's efforts to shapeshift his sturdy male body accordingly draw gales of laughter. The mood is bright. We may not have changed the world, but we have brought 52 bright spirits to brighter life. The gifts of spontaneous dream theater, generated by personal and authentic experiences, are unending. It is my favorite element in all the workshops I lead. It is a potent source of healing and soul recovery, not only for individuals but for the families and communities we bring together.
