Redan stenåldersmänniskorna trodde att himlafenomenen påverkade tillvaron på jorden. Solens betydelse är ju självklar och månen gav människorna en tydlig rytm som med tiden gav oss kalendrar. Det är först i Mesopotamien som planeterna drogs in när astrologin utvecklas.Idag tror inga vetenskapsmän på astrologi – trots att de borde skicka de tidiga astrologernas sin tacksamhet för utvecklandet av den vetenskapliga metoden och för naturvetenskapens framgångar.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu Premium samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Jonathan Lindström om astrologins uppkomst och dess märkliga dubbelroll i historien: som både omstridd trosföreställning och som drivkraft för observationer, tabeller och den sorts systematik som så småningom bidrog till vetenskaplig metod. Detta är början på ett Historia Nu Premium-avsnitt. Vill du lyssna på hela avsnittet blir du medlem på www.historia.nu/premium. Det kostar 75 kr/mån och då får du två extra avsnitt samt alla vanliga avsnitt reklamfria. Föreställningen att himlafenomen påverkar livet på jorden är äldre än de första städerna. Solens makt över värme, växtlighet och dygn är fysisk och självklar. Men månen – den närmaste himlakroppen – gav något minst lika viktigt: en tydlig rytm. Den blev en naturlig klocka för jakt, vandringar, tidräkning och riter. Där, i månens återkomst, föddes tanken att himlen inte bara lyser – den talar.Månmånaden återkommer med sådan regelbundenhet att den tidigt blev grund för kalendrar. Och där det finns mönster uppstår frågor. När kommer nästa fullmåne? När är det bäst att så? Varför försvinner månen i en förmörkelse? Sådana frågor gör människan till observatör – och observationen är första steget mot systematik.Det avgörande språnget kom när samhällen blev mer komplexa: jordbruk, städer, skatter, administration – och kungar som ville veta om framtiden bar goda eller dåliga tecken. Då räckte inte minnet eller muntlig tradition. Man behövde register. I Mesopotamien – området mellan Eufrat och Tigris – utvecklades en kultur där skrivkonst, tempeladministration och kungamakt knöts samman. Och där himlen blev ett arkiv av tecken som kunde samlas, jämföras och läras ut.Den tidiga mesopotamiska astrologin var i grunden omenbaserad: himlafenomen tolkades som gudomliga varningar eller löften, framför allt om kollektiva frågor – kungens hälsa, krig, skördar och väder. Under andra årtusendet f.Kr. kodifierades detta i enorma samlingar. Den mest berömda är Enūma Anu Enlil, en serie på cirka 68–70 lertavlor med uppskattningsvis 6 500–7 000 omen kopplade till himmelska och atmosfäriska fenomen.Omenläran var inte vetenskap – men den krävde noggrann observation, klassificering och återanvändbara referenser. Prästlärda blev specialister som skrev ned, jämförde och försökte hitta återkomster. Det liknar, på ett avlägset men verkligt sätt, embryot till en metod: samla data, se mönster, dra slutsatser.I Babylonien utvecklades så småningom en mer beräkningsbar himmel. Den uniforma zodiaken – indelningen av ekliptikan i tolv lika stora delar om 30 grader – växte fram i slutet av 400-talet f.Kr.. Det blev ett avgörande steg mot ett koordinatsystem som gjorde tabeller och prognoser möjliga. Ungefär samtidigt skiftar fokus från statens öde till individens: det äldsta bevarade horoskopet för en enskild person dateras till 410 f.Kr.När babylonisk kunskap rörde sig västerut – via erövringar, handel och översättningar – mötte den grekisk filosofi och matematik. I den hellenistiska världen blev astrologi inte bara en konst att tyda tecken, utan något man försökte motivera som en ordnad lära om hur kosmos hänger ihop.Bild: Titelbladet till den tyska utgåvan av De scientia motus orbis (1504), en astronomisk skrift tillskriven Māshā'allāh (ca 730–815).

“Martin Schongauer” Le bel immortelau Musée du Louvre, Parisdu 8 avril au 20 juillet 2026Entretien avec Hélène Grollemund,chargée de collection au département des Arts graphiques, musée du Louvre,et co-commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 1er juin 2026, durée 24'10,© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2026/06/02/3720_martin-schongauer_musee-du-louvre/CommuniquéCommissariatPantxika Béguerie De Paepe, conservatrice honoraire du musée UnterlindenHélène Grollemund, chargée de collection au département des Arts graphiques, musée du Louvre.Surnommé le « beau Martin » par Albrecht Dürer, Martin Schongauer (Colmar, vers 1445 – Vieux-Brisach, 1491), peintre, dessinateur et graveur virtuose, reste méconnu au delà du cercle des spécialistes et des amateurs. Il est pourtant l'un des artistes les plus importants et les plus populaires de la fin du Moyen Âge.A travers une centaine d'oeuvres, l'exposition met en lumière l'oeuvre et la postérité par-delà les frontières et le temps de Schongauer. Elle présente quelques rares dessins et une large sélection d'estampes auxquelles il doit sa renommée européenne, et, pour la première fois, la quasitotalité des peintures (retables et tableaux de chevalet) qui lui sont attribuées, dont l'exceptionnelle Vierge au buisson de roses de 1473, son seul panneau peint daté.Le parcours de l'exposition est organisé en deux grands chapitres : le premier retrace la vie et l'oeuvre de Martin Schongauer ; le second étudie la profonde empreinte que ses gravures ont eu sur la culture visuelle européenne.La vie de Martin Schongauer reste mal connue du fait de la rareté des sources. Fils et frère d'orfèvres colmariens, il atteint rapidement dans ses gravures une grande maîtrise du délicat travail au burin, surpassant l'exemple de son aîné, le Maître ES, par son sens aigu de la précision et une claire appréhension de la profondeur. Ses premières œuvres mettent en évidence sa connaissance de l'art des grands Flamands comme Rogier van der Weyden, mais aussi des artistes de Nuremberg, une ville dans laquelle il a certainement séjourné à l'occasion d'un voyage entrepris entre 1465 et 1470 environ.De rares et précieuses peintures de Schongauer sont parvenues jusqu'à nous. Elles révèlent un souci esthétique tant dans la représentation humaine que dans le décor environnant et un goût profond du détail ornemental ou réaliste. Les petits panneaux peints par Schongauer mettent en avant la nouvelle relation intimiste entre la Vierge et l'Enfant, la sérénité des scènes d'adoration et le rôle primordial de Marie. L'exposition confronte ces oeuvres, destinées à la dévotion privée, avec de grands ensembles commandés par les institutions religieuses – ils ornaient des églises de Colmar ou la commanderie d'Issenheim et n'ont que rarement quitté l'Alsace.Le style séduisant de Martin Schongauer trouve toutefois son apogée dans ses estampes. Sa virtuosité technique impressionnante s'allie à sa connaissance approfondie des textes apocryphes ou des commentaires de la vie des saints. Il s'y révèle un artiste lettré, un narrateur inventif et délicat ainsi qu'un fin observateur de la nature. Il joue sur la diversité des sujets afin de toucher le plus grand nombre de clients. A côté de scènes religieuses, il développe des thèmes animaliers et fantastiques ou des éléments décoratifs.[....] Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Maximilian I died on January 12th, 1519. But his likeness is everywhere. None of his predecessors left behind as many depictions of their life, from being fed by his nurse as a toddler to the Totenbild, the picture of the emperor in death, stripped of all his paraphernalia, even his teeth broken out.If you search in google for the most reproduced image of a Holy Roman Emperor, two come up, the portrait of Maximilian that Albrecht Dürer produced in Augsburg in 1518, as shown on last weeks episode artwork and Titian's equestrian portrait of Charles V after the battle of Mühlberg, which in turn is a composition that goes back to several equestrian portraits of Maximilian I.Basically, Maximilian I is the most visually present Holy Roman emperor of them all. And that is not by chance. As he said on several occasions, quote:"Whoever does not provide for his commemoration during his lifetime has no commemoration after his death and is forgotten with the sound of the bell that rings at his burial"The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFor do it yourself merchandise go to: Merchandise • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.So far I have:The OttoniansSalian Emperors and Investiture ControversyFredrick Barbarossa and Early HohenstaufenFrederick II Stupor MundiSaxony and Eastward ExpansionThe Hanseatic LeagueThe Teutonic KnightsThe Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356The Reformation before the ReformationThe Empire in the 15th centuryThe Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs

Chris flies solo today, without Mitzi on this Monday, but still manages to keep it (mostly) on the sunny side! Today, on National Tartan Day, and the year’s 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, we explore the fascinating history and linkage between our Declaration, and the Scottish Declaration of Arbroath, along with a special bonus surprise anniversary connection of the “Triumphal Entry” of Jesus Christ on Apr 6, 32 AD (10th of Nisan) spoken of in all four Gospels! If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. – John 8:36 KJV Triumphal Entry – in all four Gospels! Mat 21:1–11 Mar 11:1–10 Luk 19:28–40 Jhn 12:12–19 From the National Tartan Day Time and Date page: The Scottish Declaration of Independence was signed on April 6, 1320. The American Declaration of Independence was, in fact, modeled on this particular document. Almost half of the signers of the American Declaration of Independence were of Scottish descent. The US Senate Resolution on National Tartan Day was passed on March 20, 1998. From that point onward, National Tartan Day was designated as a day for all Americans, particularly those of Scottish descent, on April 6 each year. From the summary of John King Bellassai’s Two Declarations with a Common Purpose: The Link between 1320 and 1776: Tartan Day in the United States is April 6th, which is also the anniversary of the signing of the 1320 Declaration of Arbroath. The significance of this date is the striking similarities in phrasing and intent between the Declaration of Arbroath and the Declaration of Independence. A key to understanding this link is the fact that the American Revolution came right on the heels of the Scottish Enlightenment. While Scottish immigrants were a small part of the general colonial population, their influence on the worldview held by the educated segment of the colonial population, most notably Thomas Jefferson was very influential. Several other key events including the fact that Jefferson's mother's family were of Scottish decent of one of the signers of the Declaration of Arbroath and his Scottish William & Mary professor William Small, whom Jefferson described as his mentor, most notably also played a role in the creation of the Declaration of Independence.

To suppose them to have surrendered these in any other way than by equal rules and general consent was to suppose them idiots or madmen, whose acts were never binding. To suppose them surprised by fraud, or compelled by force, into any other compact, such fraud and such force could confer no obligation. Every man had a right to trample it under foot whenever he pleased. In short, he asserted these rights to be derived only from nature and the author of nature; that they were inherent, inalienable, and indefeasible by any laws, pacts, contracts, covenants, or stipulations, which man could devise. [x] John Adams, A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law – Teaching American History In a word, let every sluice of knowledge be opened and set a-flowing. The encroachments upon liberty in the reigns of the first James and the first Charles, by turning the general attention of learned men to government, are said to have produced the greatest number of consummate statesmen which has ever been seen in any age or nation. The Brookes, Hampdens, Vanes, Seldens, Miltons, Nedhams, Harringtons, Nevilles, Sidneys, Lockes, are all said to have owed their eminence in political knowledge to the tyrannies of those reigns. The prospect now before us in America, ought in the same manner to engage the attention of every man of learning, to matters of power and of right, that we may be neither led nor driven blindfolded to irretrievable destruction. Nothing less than this seems to have been meditated for us, by somebody or other in Great Britain. There seems to be a direct and formal design on foot, to enslave all America. This, however, must be done by degrees. The first step that is intended, seems to be an entire subversion of the whole system of our fathers, by the introduction of the canon and feudal law into America. The canon and feudal systems, though greatly mutilated in England, are not yet destroyed. Like the temples and palaces in which the great contrivers of them once worshipped and inhabited, they exist in ruins; and much of the domineering spirit of them still remains. The designs and labors of a certain society, to introduce the former of them into America, have been well exposed to the public by a writer of great abilities; and the further attempts to the same purpose, that may be made by that society, or by the ministry or parliament, I leave to the conjectures of the thoughtful. But it seems very manifest from the Stamp Act itself, that a design is formed to strip us in a great measure of the means of knowledge, by loading the press, the colleges, and even an almanac and a newspaper, with restraints and duties; and to introduce the inequalities and dependencies of the feudal system, by taking from the poorer sort of people all their little subsistence, and conferring it on a set of stamp officers, distributors, and their deputies. But I must proceed no further at present. The sequel, whenever I shall find health and leisure to pursue it, will be a “disquisition of the policy of the stamp act.” In the mean time, however, let me add, — These are not the vapors of a melancholy mind, nor the effusions of envy, disappointed ambition, nor of a spirit of opposition to government, but the emanations of a heart that burns for its country's welfare. No one of any feeling, born and educated in this once happy country, can consider the numerous distresses, the gross indignities, the barbarous ignorance, the haughty usurpations, that we have reason to fear are meditating for ourselves, our children, our neighbors, in short, for all our countrymen and all their posterity, without the utmost agonies of heart and many tears.

The day is increasingly renamed Declaration Day, since 2016, and associated with events commemorating the Declaration of Arbroath and other aspects of Scottish history. Tartan Day has expanded into an entire Tartan Week in New York City and Angus, and into multi-day events in some other locations, including Washington, DC. The name Scotland Week has also been promoted in Scotland. The events typically have parades of pipe bands, Highland dancing, and other Scottish-themed activities. In 1998, the efforts of the coalition and the Caledonian Foundation (led then by JoAnne Phipps), with the legislative sponsorship of Senator Trent Lott, resulted in United States Senate Resolution No. 155 (introduced March 6, 1998) to adopt April 6 as National Tartan Day. The resolution passed March 20, 1998, “to recognize the outstanding achievements and contributions made by Scottish Americans to the United States”; it also referred to the predominance of Scots among the Founding Fathers of the United States and claimed that the American Declaration of Independence was “modelled on” the Scottish Declaration of Arbroath. The now quasi-official National Tartan Day was held annually thereafter; The Washington Times reported in 2000 on the event, by which time it was already growing into a three-day affair in Washington, DC.

Nous sommes en 1508, à Nuremberg, cité artistique et berceau de l'Humanisme dans le Saint-Empire. Christoph von Scheurl, juriste et diplomate, écrit : « Que dois-je dire au demeurant du Nurembergeois Albrecht Dürer qui de l'avis général occupe en notre siècle le plus haut rang tant en peinture qu'en sculpture ? Alors qu'il était récemment en Italie où j'ai souvent servi d'interprète, il a été salué par les artistes de Venise et de Bologne comme un deuxième Apelle (Apelle de Cos est un peintre grec du Ve siècle avant notre ère). Les Allemands qui résident à Venise font remarquer que le tableau le plus réussi de la ville a été exécuté par lui, celui où il a représenté l'empereur si précisément que seul le souffle semble lui manquer. Trois tableaux décorent aussi la très sainte église de Wittenberg près de l'autel. Avec ces trois peintures, il pensait pouvoir rivaliser avec Apelle. Comme chez nous, ces anciens peintres habités par une nature joyeuse — comme d'ailleurs tous les gens instruits — notre Albrecht est aussi social amical, aimable et très droit, ce qui explique qu'il soit très apprécié par les hommes les plus remarquables et aimé par-dessus tout comme un frère par Willibald Pirckheimer, un homme hautement instruit en grec et en latin, un orateur remarquable membre du conseil de la ville et chef militaire ». En 1508, il reste vingt années à vivre à Albrecht Dürer. Le peintre est reconnu internationalement, il est un personnage en vue dans sa ville, adoubé par les plus hautes sphères du pouvoir et l'auteur d'une sorte d'autobiographie en images qui le cache plus qu'elle ne le révèle. A quoi est due la fascination qu'exerce encore aujourd'hui l'œuvre de Dürer ?

The first Art Basel Qatar art fair is now open in Qatar's capital, Doha, and The Art Newspaper's art market editor, Kabir Jhala, joins Ben Luke to discuss its impact, as well as reflecting on the wider artistic outlook in Qatar and the Middle East. The author of a new catalogue raisonné of the work of Albrecht Dürer argues that a painting of the artist's father in the National Gallery in London, long thought to be a copy after Dürer's original, is in fact an autograph work. Our special correspondent in London, Martin Bailey, tells us about the arguments for and against its authenticity. And this episode's Work of the Week is actually a pair of works. That is because there is a compelling double header opening at the Albertinum in Dresden this weekend, the exhibition Paula Modersohn-Becker and Edvard Munch: The Big Questions of Life.

Jana Byars meets one of her academic heroes when Ulinka Rublack joins her to talk about Dürer's Coats: Renaissance Men and Material Cultures of Social Recognition (Routledge, 2025). During the Renaissance, clothing became more and more elaborately decorated and expensive. It often emphasised the privilege of the male elite. Yet clothing could also subvert or reshape conventional cultural norms. This book draws on the case of Albrecht Dürer to examine Renaissance male outerwear as a key element of signalling communication in everyday life. The recognised artist fought for the esteem of urban creators. In asserting his dignity and taste, outerwear was particularly important to Dürer and his time. Ulinka Rublack argues that cloaks and gowns gained in importance during this period and were among the things that mediated social relationships for centuries to come. An investigation into outerwear opens a new window into how people and things were connected in the Renaissance and how important clothing was in shaping subjectivities in everyday life. Using the example of Dürer and his wife as emerging social types, the study follows the artist and the men and women of his time through the streets of Venice, Nuremberg, Augsburg and Antwerp. It poses pressing questions about Albrecht Dürer's entanglement in unequal networks of global trade and the German Renaissance Atlantic. Learn more about your ad choices.

In an extraordinarily rare interview, artist Raymond Pettibon discusses his journey, from early punk rock works to present day artistic themes, technique and rhythms, the Getty archives and more. Topics Include: Raymond Pettibon has been drawing constantly since childhood, "always with a pen in hand" Started with crayons, pastels, pencil - India ink came later as too messy Early influences included Albrecht Dürer, etchings, and comic book art equally Self-taught artist who learned through trial and error, never attended art school Studied economics in college, bringing analytical thinking to his art practice Approaches work as fine art, not commercial art, values creative freedom Rarely takes commissions - the more constraints, the less he likes it Band artwork usually selected from existing drawings rather than commissioned pieces Black Flag's "Nervous Breakdown" images came from his "Captive Chains" book Artwork inspired by "Blackboard Jungle" film - students destroying teacher's jazz records Has experience teaching, can identify with teacher-student conflicts from that period Left SST Records in 1985-86 due to oppressive environment Describes certain subjects he returns to repeatedly over the decades Works on multiple drawings simultaneously, some remaining unfinished for years Enters a meditative "fugue state" when drawing or writing Never experiences artist's block - blank paper doesn't intimidate him Believes he can write about any subject with natural fluency Doesn't plan series - they develop organically through returning to themes Sometimes works directly on gallery walls during exhibitions for coherence Used to work all day and night when deeply engaged Dislikes deadlines - they make work harder, not easier for him Sees deadlines as triggering psychological rebellion despite wanting to please collectors Hates when people suggest ideas - it "breaks the spell" Admits he's not the greatest draftsman but learned on the job Recently donated personal archive to Getty Research Institute for scholarly access Participated in Getty's research scholar program, one artist among academics Program reconnected him with economics after years away from the discipline Still has unfinished drawings in studio, some over 30 years old Currently creating less due to frustrations with art world dynamics Values complete artistic freedom - no curator has ever asked him to change High resolution version of this podcast is available at: www.Patreon.com/VinylGuide Photo by John Newsom Apple: https://tinyurl.com/tvg-ios Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/tvg-spot Amazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/tvg-amazon Support the show at Patreon.com/VinylGuide

Atemberaubend! Überall Striche, jedes Barthaar ist erkennbar! Ganz, ganz wunderbar mein Herr. So oder so ähnlich klang es wohl des Öfteren in Albrecht Dürers Atelier am Albrecht-Dürer-Platz, wenn wieder rot besamtete Patrizier aufliefen, um dem jungen Altmeister eines seiner Werke unterm Hintern wegzukaufen. Kunst halt! Und in genau diese Stiefel ziehen sich unsere beiden Radiokurator:innen Eisi (remote) und Meisi (on-site) an und stapfen los in die wirren der Kunstgeschichte, die ja bekanntlich so alt ist, wie der Traum vom fliegen, der ja seinerseits auch schon einige Lenze zählt. Da Herr Eisenbart mal wieder unpässlich ist, hat er uns ein Lexikon der Kumfstbegriffe erstellt, in das wir auch gerne mal hineinhören. Frau Meisendraht indes hat sich im Schnelldurchlauf die gesamte westliche Kunstgeschichte in den Schlund gestopft und göbelt sie uns, einer Vogelmutter gleich, ganz frisch-fröhlich in die Schnäbel.

Es soll also von der Steinzeit über die Antike bis hin in die Jetztzeit um alles gehen, was die Kunstgeschichte so hervorgebracht hat: Wehrkirchen, Individuen und Genies, Ohren und Brunnen spielen Rollen in dieser ziselierten Revue des Ausdrucks. Und am Ende definieren wir sogar den Kunstbegriff. Natürlich wieder dabei: Die schillernden Texte unseres original EBMD-Autor:innenpools, die um uns in einem schwindelerregenden Reigen herumtanzen und unsere Herzen erfreuen.

Ihr Leben konnte in der Kunst lange nur codiert dargestellt werden, etwa von Albrecht Dürer in Werken voller homosexueller Chiffren. Auch im Alltag konnten sich LSBTI* noch im 20.

Last year I went to an exhibition at the Städel museum in Frankfurt that was entitled Holbein and the Renaissance in the North. That is the elder Holbein, the father of the Holbein who came to England. This exhibition has now ended, but there is still a great summary available on the Städel website.Though obviously not present at the exhibition, one key focus was the Fugger chapel in the church of St. Anne in Augsburg, one of the earliest and most significant Renaissance building north of the Alps. I wanted to kick off this episode with this chapel and then move on to Holbein, Burgkmair etc. But as I dug deeper and deeper into the late 15th and early 16th century art in Southern Germany, the more connections and links emerged that I hope you will find as fascinating as I did.Links to artworks:Fugger chapel: Die Fuggerkapelle | St. Anna AugsburgRiemenschneider Heilig Blut Altar: The Altar of the Holy Blood | ReliquarianThe Hare: Young Hare, 1502 - Albrecht Durer - WikiArt.orgSchongauer St. Anthony: Martin Schongauer | Saint Anthony Tormented by Demons | The Metropolitan Museum of ArtRhinocerus: Albrecht Dürer | The Rhinoceros | The Metropolitan Museum of ArtRitter, Tod und Teufel and other works: Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) - The Metropolitan Museum of ArtThe music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Eine Beschreibung und eine Skizze des Tiers fielen allerdings Albrecht Dürer in die Hände. Sein „Rhinocerus“ prägte anschließend lange Zeit das Bild von Nashörnern in Europa. Bis ein niederländischer Kapitän ab 1746 mit dem Panzernashorn Clara zu einer Europa-Tour aufbrach.

Tate Modern this week opened a vast exhibition exploring the life and work of the maverick Australian-born performance artist, fashion designer and self-styled “club monster”, Leigh Bowery, as well as the variety of cultural figures in his orbit in London. It coincides with other related London shows: one analysing the fashion work of Bowery and his collaborators and peers at the Fashion and Textile Museum, and another at the National Portrait Gallery about the style and culture magazine The Face, which emerged around the same time as Bowery set foot in the UK capital in the early 1980s. Ben Luke reviews the shows with Louisa Buck, The Art Newspaper's contemporary art correspondent. Three years on from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and amid fraught international diplomacy following the US's abrupt shift in approach to the war under President Trump, we speak to Sophia Kishkovsky, our international correspondent who has widely reported on Russia and Ukraine, about how Ukraine's art world is responding to this new era. And this episode's Work of the Week is actually a pair of works made more than 400 years apart called The Women's Bath.

In this episode of Platemark, Ann talks with Susan Dackerman, a curator and art historian specializing in Northern European print culture. They discuss Susan's recent book, Dürer's Knots: Early European Print and the Islamic East, which looks at the artist's relationship to the Islamic world, revealing groundbreaking insights about the intersection of early modern printmaking and contemporary history.  Susan's book covers three of Dürer's prints or print series. The first section looks at The Sea Monster (Das Meerwunder), c. 1498, and postulates that it chronicles the return to Venice of Caterina Cornado following her forced abdication as the last queen of Cyprus in 1489. Susan pieces together the narrative, which often claims to be about the abduction of a woman on the fins of Neptune. The second section looks at a series of six woodcuts Dürer made to mimic the designs of silver inlay found in Mamluk brass bowls. Susan has an intriguing theory about the Knots's connection to a set of engravings by none other than Leonardo da Vinci. The final section looks at the iron etching Landscape with a Cannon, 1518, and answers the question why make this image as an etching rather than an engraving. The book challenges traditional narratives and recasts Dürer's prints that reference the Islamic East as much more nuanced and reflective of contemporaneous history. Susan's book is clear, concise, and thoughtful, and well worth the read.

Jeff Wall talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work.Wall—who was born in 1946 in Vancouver, Canada, where he still lives, though he also works in Los Angeles—makes photographs but aspires to approach his medium with the freedom, range and openness taken for granted by other artforms. Presented on a large scale, his images are enormously varied, from those that are close to reportage; to what he calls “near-documentary” images—tableaux, where he recreates a scene he has witnessed in reality with actors; to elaborately staged environments responding to art or literature; and even what he calls “hallucinations”. Crucially, he has used the term “cinematographic” to describe his approach, in that his pictures use different degrees of preparation and processing before he presses the shutter and afterwards, thereby applying what Jeff has called “aspects of the arts of dramatisation” to the pictorial practice of still photography. Because of this, his work has long had a fascinating philosophical relationship with truth and reality—two key cornerstones of orthodox claims for his medium's potency—and what Wall has called “blatant artifice”. Initially famous for the technique he pioneered in the art world of presenting vast transparencies on lightboxes, he now mostly works with prints, on a similar scale, in both colour and black and white. As he has engaged closely with the history of art, books and film, Jeff has used the term “prose poems” to describe his photographs: that form's complex structures and language and ability to conjure broad constellations of meanings, perfectly describe his art and how we experience it. He discusses how comics and Bruegel were his earliest visual inspirations, talks about his responses to historic works by Katsushika Hokusai and Albrecht Dürer, reflects on the “accidents while reading” that have led him to make images responding to literary works by Franz Kafka and Yukio Mishima, among others. Plus he answers some of our usual questions, including the ultimate, “what is art for?”Jeff Wall: Life in Pictures, White Cube Bermondsey, London until 12 January 2025; Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, Lisbon, Portugal, April-August 2025.

We zien Erasmus staand achter zijn lessenaar, schrijvend, tussen de boeken zoals je verwacht van een geleerde zoals hij. Albrecht Dürer maakte deze gravure zes jaar nadat hij Erasmus had ontmoet. Waarom pas na zo'n lange tijd? En is dit portret een beeld van een hooggeleerde Erasmus die druk bezig is met nieuwe, inspirerende ideeën. Of laat het juist een beeld zien van een oude geleerde die zijn beste tijd gehad heeft en alleen nog maar in zijn boeken bestaat?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 1, 2024 is: hatching • HATCH-ing • noun Hatching refers to the drawing or engraving of lines close together as a method of shading, or to a pattern so created. // The artist uses hatching to breathe life into her comics. // The hatching adds depth to the illustration. See the entry > Examples: "During the second half of the 19th century, drawing achieved a higher status. No longer merely a preparatory tool, nor merely just a method for training of the eye, it gained a new autonomy.... Pastel became popular at this time partly because it was easily portable and versatile, capable of supporting lively hatching as well as silky smoothness." — Frances Spalding, Apollo, 12 Feb. 2024 Did you know? Hatching refers to the drawing or engraving of lines close together as a method of shading. The closer the lines, the darker the impression that is created. When the lines are drawn at an angle so as to intersect one another, that is called cross-hatching. One notable artist who drew on this technique is John Tenniel, the illustrator of Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Another is Albrecht Dürer, whose sketches have been celebrated for their adept use of cross-hatching to indicate foreshortening (an appearance of something, such as a subject's nose, as shortened due to its being pointed toward the viewer). The word hatching is a gerund of the verb hatch, which in turn comes from the Middle French hacher, meaning "to chop, slice up, or incise with fine lines." If hatching isn't your preferred style of shading, you might also consider stippling or blending.

Latinets fall – när folkspråken tog över

Latinets historia är en berättelse om ett språks uppgång, storhetstid och gradvisa omvandling från ett levande kommunikationsmedel till ett kulturellt arv. Från sina rötter i det antika Rom har latinet format europeisk kultur, vetenskap, religion och tänkande på ett sätt som få andra språk kan mäta sig med.Det var strävan att återskapa latinet från dess antika guldålder som gjorde det allt svårare att lära sig latin och med tiden skulle folkspråken ta över allt mer, även om det inom vetenskapen användes ända in på 1900-talet.I detta är det andra av två avsnitt om Latinets utveckling. I podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Karin Westin Tikkanen, journalist och docent i latin. Hon är aktuell med boken Latin – En handbok i odödlighet.Under medeltiden var latin det dominerande språket för lärdom och kommunikation i Europa. Det användes flitigt inom kyrkan, på skolor och universitet, samt för administration och historieskrivning. Latinet fungerade inte bara som ett funktionsspråk utan fortsatte att utveckla arvet från antiken och skapa ny litteratur.Karl den store (742-814) initierade en omfattande språkreform i sitt rike. I Aachen etablerades en skola ledd av Alkuin, som arbetade för att återupprätta ett "rent" latin baserat på klassiska förebilder. Detta bidrog till att bevara mycket av den antika latinska litteraturen.Under renässansen uppstod en rörelse kallad ciceronianismen, som strävade efter att återskapa Ciceros eleganta latinsk prosa. Detta ledde till intensiva debatter om hur man bäst kunde imitera de klassiska författarna.Med grundandet av de första universiteten på 1100-talet befästes latinets ställning som det akademiska språket par excellence. All högre utbildning skedde på latin, vilket skapade en internationell lärd gemenskap över hela Europa.Men när latinisterna under renässansen ville återskapa det klassiska latinet blev det början till slutet på latin som ett brett använt lingua franca i Europa eftersom det blev svårare att lära sig. Inom vetenskapen fortsatte latinet att spela en avgörande roll. Carl von Linné revolutionerade taxonomin genom att introducera ett systematiskt sätt att klassificera och namnge naturen på latin. Hans verk "Systema Naturae" lade grunden för modern botanik och zoologi. Linnés system används fortfarande globalt, vilket visar latinets bestående betydelse inom vetenskapen.Latinets inflytande sträckte sig långt in i modern tid. Det förblev det självklara lärdomsspråket för poeter, författare, vetenskapsmän och diplomater.Latinets "odödlighet" ligger kanske just i dess förmåga att transcendera sin ursprungliga funktion som ett kommunikationsmedel och istället bli en symbol för lärdom, kultur och en gemensam europeisk identitet. På så sätt förblir latinet, som någon en gång uttryckte det, inte dött, utan har snarare "upphört att vara dödligt".Bild: En skrivande Erasmus porträtterad av Albrecht Dürer (1526).
