  • Michelangelo Buonarotti
    PEOPLE MENTIONED IN WALDEN PEOPLE MENTIONED IN WALDEN: MICHELANGELO BUONAROTTI 1475 March 6: The second of five brothers, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was born at Caprese, in Tuscany, to Francesca Neri and Ludovico di Leonardo di Buonarotto Simoni, who wrote: “Today March 6, 1475, a child of the male sex has been born to me and I have named him Michelangelo. He was born on Monday between 4 and 5 in the morning, at Caprese, where I am the Podestà.” His father’s family had for several generations been small-scale bankers in Firenzi but had in his father’s case failed to maintain its status. The father had only occasional government jobs and at the time of Michelangelo’s birth was administrator of this small dependent town. A few months later, however, the family would return to its permanent residence in Firenzi. Like his father Michelangelo would always consider himself to be a “son of Firenzi.” 1488 Michelangelo’s father, at this point a minor Florentine official with connections to the ruling Medici family, placed his son in the workshop of the painter Domenico Ghirlandaio. It was a step downward, to become a mere artist, a sort of artisan, and Michelangelo had been apprenticed only relatively late, the age of at 13. He was, however, being apprenticed to the city’s most prominent painter, for a three-year term. 1489 Allegedly with nothing more to learn from the painter to which he had been apprenticed in the previous year, Michelangelo went to study at the sculpture school in the Medici gardens and shortly thereafter was invited into the household of Lorenzo de’ Medici, the Magnificent.

  • Private Sales
    2 Private Sales n recent years, the commercial fragility of what were perceived to be preeminent New York art galleries was laid bare in newspaper head- lines and lawsuits that highlighted the financial woes of the hap- less collectors who consigned art to be sold, and the art purchasers Iwho acquired more (or less) than they bargained for. That fragility renders art transactions commercially unique when it is combined with the in- trinsic properties of fine art. The artwork, for one thing, is often singular and ir- replaceable. Moreover, its value, which largely depends on the artist’s reputation at the time of the sale, may fluctuate extensively because an artist’s reputation is largely subject to public whim. And artwork is frequently purchased on impulse by a shockingly uninformed buyer: The buyer often turns a blind eye to securing a written purchase contract (let alone to having the contract reviewed by legal counsel), neglects to have the property physically inspected or professionally ap- praised, fails to do a title search, and, if the work is a fine-art multiple, makes no inquiry about the technique of production. Defects abound in artwork as frequently as in other property. Accordingly, the art buyer should observe the same precautions ordinarily used by the prudent buyer in other commercial transactions of like value. Those precautions are ad- dressed at length throughout the three main sections of this chapter: Sales by Dealers, Sales by Collectors, and Secured Transactions. SALES BY DEALERS Whether the dealer is a private dealer, a single commercial gallery, or a gallery with numerous branches or franchised outlets, the dealer’s art sales are governed by principles of contract and tort law, by federal and state penal statutes, and in certain jurisdictions by specific legislation regulating sales of art.

  • History of the Current Understanding and Management of Tethered Spinal Cord
    HISTORICAL VIGNETTE J Neurosurg Spine 25:78–87, 2016 History of the current understanding and management of tethered spinal cord Sam Safavi-Abbasi, MD, PhD,1 Timothy B. Mapstone, MD,2 Jacob B. Archer, MD,2 Christopher Wilson, MD,2 Nicholas Theodore, MD,1 Robert F. Spetzler, MD,1 and Mark C. Preul, MD1 1Department of Neurosurgery, Barrow Neurological Institute, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, Arizona; and 2Department of Neurosurgery, University of Oklahoma Health Science Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma An understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of tethered cord syndrome (TCS) and modern management strate- gies have only developed within the past few decades. Current understanding of this entity first began with the under- standing and management of spina bifida; this later led to the gradual recognition of spina bifida occulta and the symp- toms associated with tethering of the filum terminale. In the 17th century, Dutch anatomists provided the first descriptions and initiated surgical management efforts for spina bifida. In the 19th century, the term “spina bifida occulta” was coined and various presentations of spinal dysraphism were appreciated. The association of urinary, cutaneous, and skeletal abnormalities with spinal dysraphism was recognized in the 20th century. Early in the 20th century, some physicians began to suspect that traction on the conus medullaris caused myelodysplasia-related symptoms and that prophylac- tic surgical management could prevent the occurrence of clinical manifestations. It was

  • Origin of the Exotic Blue Color of Copper-Containing Historical
    Article pubs.acs.org/IC Origin of the Exotic Blue Color of Copper-Containing Historical Pigments Pablo García-Fernandez,́ * Miguel Moreno, and JoséAntonio Aramburu Departamento de Ciencias de la Tierra y Física de la Materia Condensada, Universidad de Cantabria, Avenida de los Castros s/n, 39005 Santander, Spain *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The study of chemical factors that influence pigment coloring is a field of fundamental interest that is still dominated by many uncertainties. In this Article, we investigate, by means of ab initio calculations, the origin of the unusual bright blue color displayed by historical Egyptian Blue (CaCuSi4O10) and Han Blue (BaCuSi4O10) pigments that is surprisingly not found in other 6− compounds like BaCuSi2O6 or CaCuO2 containing the same CuO4 chromophore. We show that the differences in hue between these systems are controlled by a large red-shift (up to 7100 cm−1) fi 6− produced by an electrostatic eld created by a lattice over the CuO4 chromophore from the energy of the 3z2-r2 → x2-y2 transition, a nonlocal phenomenon widely ignored in the realm of transition metal chemistry and strongly dependent upon the crystal structure. Along 4− this line, we demonstrate that, although SiO4 units are not involved in the chromophore itself, the introduction of sand to create CaCuSi4O10 plays a key role in obtaining the characteristic hue of the Egyptian Blue pigment. The results presented here demonstrate the opportunity for tuning the properties of a given chromophore by modifying the structure of the insulating lattice where it is located. ■ INTRODUCTION even then they remained rare.

His merchant father, Teunis Govaertsz Flinck, was clearly prosperous, because in 1625 he was appointed steward of Kleve, a position reserved for men of stature.[1] That Flinck would become a painter was not apparent in his early years; in fact, according to Arnold Houbraken, the odds were against his pursuit of that interest. Teunis considered such a career unseemly and apprenticed his son to a cloth merchant. Flinck, however, never stopped drawing, and a fortunate incident changed his fate. According to Houbraken, “Lambert Jacobsz, [a] Mennonite, or Baptist teacher of Leeuwarden in Friesland, came to preach in Kleve and visit his fellow believers in the area.”[2] Lambert Jacobsz (ca. 1598–1636) was also a famous Mennonite painter, and he persuaded Flinck’s father that the artist’s profession was a respectable one. Around 1629, Govaert accompanied Lambert to Leeuwarden to train as a painter.[3] In Lambert’s workshop Flinck met the slightly older Jacob Adriaensz Backer (1608–51), with whom he became lifelong friends.
