Tyler, Ph.D., D.Sc.1 1 San Francisco, CA, USA Received: January 31, 2021 Accepted: February 10, 2021 Online Published: February 19, 2021 doi:10.22158/jrph.v4n1p36 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.22158/jrph.v4n1p36 Abstract The depiction of memento mori such as skulls was a niche artistic trend symbolizing the contemplation of mortality that can be traced back to the privations of the Black Death in the 1340s, but became popular in the mid-16th century. Nevertheless, the anamorphism of the floating skull in Hans Holbein’s ‘The Ambassadors’ of 1533, though much discussed as a clandestine wedding commemoration, has never been satisfactorily explained in its historical context as a diplomatic gift to the French ambassadors to the court of Henry VIII who were in the process of negotiations with the Pope for his divorce. Consideration of Holbein’s youthful trips to Italy and France suggest that he may have been substantially influenced by exposure to Leonardo da Vinci’s works, and that the skull may have been an explicit reference to Leonardo’s anamorphic demonstrations for the French court at Amboise, and hence a homage to the cultural interests of the French ambassadors of the notable Dinteville family for whom the painting was destined. This hypothesis is supported by iconographic analysis of works by Holbein and Leonardo’s followers in the School of Fontainebleau in combination with literary references to its implicit symbolism.

  • Midrashic Commentaries on the Phantasmagoria That Is History
    Tide and Time: Midrashic Commentaries on the Phantasmagoria that is History Norman Simms Introduction A midrashic story is not conceived as something that exists outside of the text; rather, it is continuous with it. Midrash implies the failure of the sources from which it comes to evoke a final answer, As metonymy, rather than metaphor—extension rather than representation—midrash reveals the gaps it seeks to fill and extends the primary text in which they exist. It reminds us of the voids that precede it.1 What Nietzsche saw as a barbaric tide of cultural erasure, Wagner saw as a tide of cultural renewal.2 The phantasmagoria, an elaborated magic lantern show developed in the final years of the eighteenth century, quickly became a metaphorical model for insights into human character, psychology and social relationship at the same time. It drew deeply from folklore and popular entertainments and helped to shape the genres to come in an industrial age. By projecting old- fashioned imagery of Monarchy, Church and Science, emotions suppressed by the French Revolution of 1789 as superstition and rural stupidity, re- emerged under controlled conditions, forming moments of entertainment, since audiences understood this was an artful illusion. The spectacle—with music, flashing lights, shuddering furniture and eerie speeches—was able to present the mind as something more and other than merely a bourgeois field of conscious activities. The once familiar fears and desires now felt as uncanny phantoms themselves could be assigned to mechanical tricks and, at the same, experienced as originating in the dark recesses of self.

CHAPTER 3 ‘Owte of the frensshe’: John Lydgate and the Dance of Death John Lydgate’s poem The Dance of Death was a translation ‘Owte of the frensshe’, as the author himself stated in his translator’s ‘Envoye’ at the end of the poem, yet ‘Not wordebeworde / but folwyng the substaunce’ (E:665-66) – an ancient topos.1 Even so, Lydgate’s poem was indeed no slavish imitation but an adaptation of a French poem that had been attracting attention since its incorporation in a wall-painting at the cemetery of Les Innocents in Paris not long before Lydgate’s presumed visit in 1426. Despite being an early adaptation of a popular French text, Lydgate’s Middle English Dance of Death has received less notice than it deserves, due to a number of factors. First of all, Lydgate’s reputation greatly declined after the sixteenth century and his ‘aureate’ style is no longer admired, which has affected the study of his work, although there has recently been a revival of Lydgate studies.2 Secondly, the poem is only a minor work in Lydgate’s huge oeuvre of well over 140,000 lines, and its didactic character has not endeared it to many literary scholars.

  • Sword & Spirit
    Sword & Spirit Classical Warrior Traditions of Japan, volume two Edited by Diane Skoss “The true warrior spirit survives. Aficionados of the martial arts will certainly appreciate this second volume… Skoss’ attitude as a serious practitioner and scholar is reflected in her attention to detail: clean editing, a competent index that doubles as a glossary, and inclusion of the most thoughtful writers in the discipline today.” The Japan Times March 30, 1999 Take a look at the martial arts section in your library and you’ll find a huge selection of titles, ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime. What you won’t find is much in the way of accurate information on the authentic fighting traditions of the Japanese samurai. Sword & Spirit, the second volume in the Classical Warrior Traditions of Japan series, fills that gap. The eight essays in this volume include a translation of advice from a warrior to his son; the teachings of a modern instructor of the classical traditions; evaluations of the classical martial arts as combat systems; an outline of the meaning of kata in training; an interview with a master of shurikenjutsu; photos and descriptions of a select group of classical martial arts traditions; and an introduction to a long neglected primary source on the ways of the Japanese warrior. Editor Diane Skoss is well qualified to present this collection. She lived in Japan for more than ten years, researching and training in the classical martial arts. She holds an okuden (highest technical level) license in the classical tradition of Toda-ha Buko-ryu naginatajutsu and is the world’s highest ranked non-Japanese in the modern martial art of jukendo, or way of the bayonet.

  • Autobiography and the 'Danse Macabre' Seem Strange Partners in Pursuit of an Engaged Artistic Life
    About the recent work of Stephen Wilks Mark Gisbourne – All the fun of the fair and much more besides Autobiography and the 'danse macabre' seem strange partners in pursuit of an engaged artistic life. But the nature of performance, sculpture, and now the first exhibited paintings, have always seemed strange emotional bedfellows in the works of the English artist Stephen Wilks. Perhaps best known for his performances where his has toted a stuffed sculpture of a donkey called Balthasar in a suitcase across Europe, there has always been in Wilks a fundamental fascination with anthropomorphically associated iconography. Indeed, Orwell's Animal Farm was among his last major project where he entered into the human-to-animal universe. The historical donkey or ass, as beast of burden, is a multilayered iconic image familiar from the Classical Age, as in Lucius Apuleius's The Golden Ass, in some measure derived from the Priapus story, through to Shakespeare's character Bottom in Midsummer Night's Dream, both sharing libidinal but more importantly possessing dislocated comedy contents. To travel with 'a donkey on your back' is not only a slang regional English usage, but also an inverted use of umour noir in the case of Wilks. The donkey as an itinerant beast of burden, an animal entity associated with the poor and the impoverished, is given a dominant role throughout his recent body of work. The autobiographical component of the work, is the idea of an association and identification on the part of the artist, a seeing the world from the position of 'other' as a reversed viewpoint.

  • Danse Macabre
    THE ROMANTIC PERIOD Penicuik High School CHAPTER∏ 1 INTRODUCTION The Romantic period was from 1810-1900. Romanticism encouraged composers to seek individual paths for expressing intense emotions, such as melancholy, longing or joy. Composers respected conventions of form and harmony to a point, but their imagination drove them to trespass limits and explore new realms of sound. They experimented with sound to create the feelings of: love, war, the story of poems, rivers and lakes, and in particular, literature. ∏SECTION 1 Composers Franz Schubert 1797-1828 Peter Tchaikovsky 1840-1893 Tchaikovsky was a Russian composer Schubert was an Austrian composer. In whose works include symphonies, a short life span of less than 32 years, concerti, operas, ballets, and chamber Schubert was a prolific composer, music.
