The image is of Joseph and Mary who have come to Bethlehem to register themselves on the census ordered by Emperor Augustus (Luke 2:1-5). This biblical event is associated with paying taxes. The scene is set in a snowy Brabant village, which brings together /spiritual and temporal considerations. The landscape juxtaposes a ruined building (paganism?) on the right, with the church situated on the other bank (Christianity?) thus linking past and present. The plague house, isolated on the edge of the water, reinforces the collective message of faith.”<br>Text: Museum of Ancient Art. A Selection of Works, Brussels, 2001, p.</p>

Jonathan Emmesedi<p>🧵 2/2</p><p>Thinking about the Warburg Institute prompted me to read this recently published biography of the founder of the library, Aby Warburg.</p><p>Knowing that Warburg was a humanist hostile to rigid disciplinary boundaries, I had imagined that Warburg himself was an easygoing chap, not at all inclined to academic territoriality.</p><p>This biography disabused me of that set of beliefs, as the author shows how insecurity with regard to his own scholarly identity led Warburg to engage in the unpleasant pettiness of academic politicking. I also learnt about his questionable activities as a propagandist for Germany during WWI, his abuse of his wife, and his disagreeable vanity.</p><p>I don't think this biographical detail discredits his ideas about images and the continuing influence of antiquity, Yet the biography did bring to my attention some of the problematic sources of Warburg's ideas, such as neolamarckian psychological theories that posited the heritability of memories.</p><p>Read the book if you're interested in art history, visual culture, the history of humanities scholarship, or the history of universities in Germany. </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/AbyWarburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbyWarburg</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HansHoenes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HansHoenes</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ArtHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArtHistory</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WarburgInstitute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarburgInstitute</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hamburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hamburg</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GermanHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GermanHistory</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/IntellectualHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IntellectualHistory</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/VisualCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VisualCulture</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Biography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biography</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Universities</span></a></p><p><a href="https://reaktionbooks.co.uk/work/tangled-paths" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">reaktionbooks.co.uk/work/tangl</span><span class="invisible">ed-paths</span></a></p>

Laura G, Sassy 70’s<p>Your art history post for today: “Holy Family,” by Lauren Ford (1891-1973), etching, 9 5/8 x 10 9/16 inches (24.4 x 26.8 cm). As a print, it appears in many collections including the Carnegie Museum of Art, The Dayton Art Institute, and Newfields Indianapolis Museum of Art. <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/arthistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arthistory</span></a> </p><p>Her book The Ageless Story, about Mary and the birth and childhood of Jesus, was named a Caldecott Medal Honor book in 1940. </p><p>From LIFE Magazine, July 4, 1938: ‘Simple and imaginative, Ford paintings often have a religious theme, frequently include children. They are appreciated not only by wealthy urban collectors but by the farmers who are Lauren Ford's neighbors near Bethlehem, Conn. There, except for an occasional trip abroad, this artist-farmer lives the year round, surrounded by her family, cats, a dog and a large number of cows. Five days a week she spends seven hours a day doing the kind of work that has evoked from metropolitan critics such adjectives as “picturesque," "tender, “fanciful" and "humorous." Much of it has for its background the nearby Connecticut countryside. “I guess Connecticut is in my blood," says Lauren Ford,’</p>

Laura G, Sassy 70’s<p>By Doménikos Theotokópoulos, known as El Greco (1541-1614), The Annunciation, ca. 1576, oil on canvas, 117 x 98 cm, Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid. <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/arthistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arthistory</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/christmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>christmas</span></a> </p><p>The Angel brings Mary this news: “You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭31‬ ‭(NIV‬‬)</p><p>From the website: “In the course of his life, EI Greco painted numerous versions of the Annunciation, thus allowing his stylistic development to be traced through his changing treatment of this Biblical episode. This painting, dated around 1576, is thought to be one of the last versions executed in Italy, and is clearly influenced by the Venetian style. From her prayer-stool at the left of the painting, the Virgin listens attentively to the message of the Archangel, a figure rendered very much in the style of Veronese. The light and the colouring owe much to Titian, a painter EI Greco admired, while the arrangement of the figures and the treatment of the drapery strongly recall the work of Tintoretto. Here, EI Greco places the figures within a simple architectural setting, loosely framing them to make the scene more realistic.”</p>
