The notes also from Tusser Redivivus (marked T.R.) were for the most part extracted by Mr. Payne. A reprint of the First Edition of 1557 was not included in the original programme, but after the work came into my hands an opportunity was presented through the kindness of Mr. F. ]. Furnivall, who lent for the purpose his copy of the reprint of 1 8 10, of exhibiting the work in its original form of "One hundreth Points " side by side with the extended edition of 1580, the last which had the benefit of the author's supervision. The proof-sheets have been collated with the unique copy in the British Museum by Miss Toulmin-Smith, to whom I return my thanks for her kindness, and the correctness of the reprint may consequently be relied on. From Mr. F. J. Furnivall I have received numerous hints, and much valuable help, while to Mr. J. Britten, F.L S., I am indebted for his kindness in revising and supplementing the notes on the Plants named in Tusser. But my chief obligations are due to the Rev. W. W. Skeat, whose uniform kindness has considerably lightened my labours, and from whom both directly and indirectly (through the notes in his numerous publications), but more particularly in his noble edition of Piers Plowman, I have derived the greatest assistance. \\th, May 1878.

The exact date of his birth is uncertain, Warton- placing it in 1523, and Dr. Mavor in 15 15, in which he is supported by the in- scription on the mural tablet erected to the memory of Tusser in the church of Manningtree, where he is stated to have been sixty-five years of age at the time of his death, which took place in 1580. Tusser, however, appears to have been elected to King's College, Cambridge, in 1543, and as he would have become ineligible at nineteen, his birth cannot have taken place earlier than 1523, and, most probably, did not take place before 1524 or 1525. It appears from the pedigree recorded by his nephew, John Tusser, the son of his eldest brother Clement, at the Herald's Visitation of Essex in 1570, which is the only record we have ^ The name of Tusser does not appear in the parochial registers at Rivenhall, which only extend back to 1634. According to Dr. Mavor, the name and race have long been extinct. - History of EngUsh Poetry, 1S40, vol. iii. p. 248. xii Biographical Sketch of the Author. of the family, that " William Tusser, the father, had five sons, Clement, Andrew, John, Thomas, and William, and four daughters ; the marriages of the daughters are set down, but no wives as- signed to the sons, except to Clement, who married Ursula Petts, and had issue John (who entered the pedigree), Edward, and Jane, all three unmarried in 1570. The mother of Thomas was [Isabella], a daughter of Thomas Smith, of Rivenhall, in Essex, Esq., whose elder brother, Hugh, was ancestor of Smith, Lord Carrington (not the present lord), sister of Sir Clement Smith, who married a sister of the Protector Somerset, and first cousin of Sir John Smith, one of the Barons of the Exchequer in the reign of Edward the Sixth. This match with Smith I take to have been the chief foundation of gentility in the Tussers, for I can find no traces of them or their arms before this con- nexion." ^ At a very early age, and notwithstanding his mother's tears and entreaties, he was placed by his father as a singing-boy in the Collegiate Chapel of the Castle of Wallingford, in Berkshire, which, according to Warton,'^ consisted of a dean, six prebendaries, six clerks, and four choristers, and was dissolved in 1549. He has himself recorded ^ in his homely and quaint style the hard- ships which he had to endure at this school, the bare robes, the college fare, the stale bread, and the penny ale.

  • Hesiod Theogony.Pdf
    Hesiod (8th or 7th c. BC, composed in Greek) The Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are probably slightly earlier than Hesiod’s two surviving poems, the Works and Days and the Theogony. Yet in many ways Hesiod is the more important author for the study of Greek mythology. While Homer treats cer- tain aspects of the saga of the Trojan War, he makes no attempt at treating myth more generally. He often includes short digressions and tantalizes us with hints of a broader tra- dition, but much of this remains obscure. Hesiod, by contrast, sought in his Theogony to give a connected account of the creation of the universe. For the study of myth he is im- portant precisely because his is the oldest surviving attempt to treat systematically the mythical tradition from the first gods down to the great heroes. Also unlike the legendary Homer, Hesiod is for us an historical figure and a real per- sonality. His Works and Days contains a great deal of autobiographical information, in- cluding his birthplace (Ascra in Boiotia), where his father had come from (Cyme in Asia Minor), and the name of his brother (Perses), with whom he had a dispute that was the inspiration for composing the Works and Days. His exact date cannot be determined with precision, but there is general agreement that he lived in the 8th century or perhaps the early 7th century BC. His life, therefore, was approximately contemporaneous with the beginning of alphabetic writing in the Greek world. Although we do not know whether Hesiod himself employed this new invention in composing his poems, we can be certain that it was soon used to record and pass them on.

El aquelarre (The Witches' Sabbath) 1797-98, Madrid: Lázaro Galdiano Museum.1 154 INTI N° 40-41 In a scene of central importance in Martin-Santos's Tiempo de silencio, Goya's painting, El aquelarre (the Witches' Sabbath), provokes a negative assessment of Ortega y Gasset. It is my contention that the pictorial narrative is not merely a prop for the main scene of conflict: it is a full-fledged, though silent, dramatis personae, affecting both the dialogue and dialectic of the polemic. The painting functions at two levels. At the primary level of narration, it is literally and quite explicitly an interext, the intermediary through which Martín-Santos lays bare the weakness of the philosopher; at the secondary level of narration, the painting in turn ironically exposes a concealed subtext in Martin-Santos's own fiction.

  • Des Pinturas Negras De Francisco De Goya1
    Corinne CRISTINI Université Paris IV-Sorbonne CRIMIC EA 2165 D’UN SUPPORT À UN AUTRE : L’APPORT DES PHOTOGRAPHIES DE JEAN LAURENT DANS LA MISE EN LUMIÈRE DES PINTURAS NEGRAS DE FRANCISCO DE GOYA1 Après un historique retraçant les étapes des Peintures Noires de Francisco de Goya, de leur support d’origine à leur transfert sur toile et leur exposition au Musée du Prado, l’accent est mis sur l’apport de la photographie dans la révélation de ces peintures et sur le rôle principal joué par le photographe Jean Laurent (1816-1886). Mettre en relation les photographies de Laurent représentant les peintures originales de Goya avec les peintures sur toile restaurées du Musée du Prado permet de souligner les modifications apportées à l’œuvre initiale. Cette étude suscite également une interrogation sur les limites de la technique photographique dans la divulgation de l’œuvre, et sur les problèmes entraînés par les changements de supports et de lieux. Peintures Noires – Photographie – Goya – Laurent – Musée du Prado – restauration Tras una reseña histórica que recuerda las etapas de las Pinturas Negras de Francisco de Goya, de su soporte original a su traslado a lienzo y su exposición en el Museo del Prado, se destaca el aporte de la fotografia en la revelación de semejantes pinturas y el protagonismo del fotógrafo Jean Laurent (1816-1886). Relacionar las fotografías de las pinturas originales de Goya con los lienzos restaurados del Museo del Prado permite recalcar los cambios sufridos por la obra inicial. Este estudio cuestiona también los límites de la técnica fotográfica en la divulgación de la obra y plantea el problema de los cambios de soportes y lugares.

  • Interpretación Iconológica De Las Pinturas Negras De Goya
    Interpretación iconológica de las pinturas negras de Goya SANTIAGO SEBASTIÁN «Porque es indudable que en Goya existe todavía ese rescoldo de humanismo después per- dido, que le permitía entender y emplear el lenguaje de la fábula». (Diego Angulo) Las investigaciones más recientes acerca de Goya cuándo empezó a vivir Goya ni en qué fecha reali- están preocupadas fundamentalmente por los pro- zó las famosas pinturas. Se cree que le acompañó blemas iconográficos ya que ellos permitirán una su «ama de llaves», Doña Leocadia Zorrilla de interpretación más ajustada de la obra del gran pin- Weiss. Si es cierto que en abril de 1820 Goya vivía tor aragonés. Por otra parte, ello es de gran inte- en ella y que en 17 de septiembre de 1823 el pin- rés, como apuntó Bialostocki, por el papel clave que tor otorgó escritura de donación a favor de su nie- representa Goya en la evolución de temas icono- to Mariano de Goya, que entonces contaba dieci- gráficos que hasta él permanecieron casi inaltera- siete años. A finales de 1819 Goya salió de una bles. Es verdad que gracias a Goya se abrieron las grave enfermedad y buscó este retiro para huir de puertas del arte moderno, conviene puntualizar la ciudad, cuyo ambiente era irrespirable por la ahora cuál fue su personal aportación en la inter- opresión, la delación y la hipocresía; por otra par- pretación de viejos temas.

  • Estadistica E Historia Del Arte
    ESTADISTICA E HISTORIA DEL ARTE I. INTRODUCC ION por J. J. MARTÍN GONZÁLEZ La frase de Leonardo, «la pintura es cosa mental», y otras similares, han dado aliento a un tipo de crítica de la historia del arte basada en interpreta- ciones subjetivas. Nada hay que reprochar. Pero el impulso que desde el siglo xix viene recibiendo la historia considerada como hecho positivo, es decir, material, elaborado por el hombre, ha determinado que el producto del arte se contemple a la vez como elemento de producción, esto es, como cosa. De ahí el progreso de la historia del arte como historia de los objetos artís- ticos. Nada hay tampoco que objetar, siempre y cuando se mantenga el primer enfoque. Mientras las dos historias del arte subsistan, será posible cohonestar dos hechos indiscutibles: a saber, que la obra de arte responde a unas exigen- cias internas, a una elaboración mental y por lo tanto inconmensurable, y por otro lado, y también a unos supuestos «objetuales». Entran en estos supuestos, aspectos tan diversos como materiales, formato, tamaño, tema, costumbres, índices de producción, salarios, etc. Es evidente que estos aspectos más con- ducen a un estudio sociológico del arte y sobre todo a un análisis de la situa- ción social del artista que a la misma valoración del arte, pero pueden derivarse también aprovechamientos útiles para la pura crítica del arte, como veremos. Pues bien, en este segunda historia del arte el empleo de las matemáticas, de la estadística, se hace imprescindible. Al principio solía parecer escandaloso la publicación de trabajos estadísticos, en que los artistas y sus obras aparecen referenciados mediante números, curvas de producción y demás medios grá- ficos, pero hoy se ha hecho normal.

    Received: 14 May 2012 / Accepted: 18 July 2012 © 2013 Sociedad Española de Neurología Neurosciences and History 2013; 1 (1): 12-20 Original Could neurological illness have influenced Goya’s pictorial style? C. Guijarro-Castro Institute of Biomedical Research, Hospital 12 de Octubre, Madrid. Department of Medicine, Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Madrid, Spain. ABSTRACT Introduction. In 1792, at the age of 46, Goya suffered a neurological illness with symptoms including headache, vertigo, ataxia, changes in vision, and possibly motor deficit. That illness left him with permanent hearing loss. In 1819, at the age of 73, he fell seriously ill once again, but with no sequelae on that occasion. One might postulate that the change in his pictorial style, which culminated in his famous Black Paintings, could have been related to his brush with death, or to his disease and its lasting consequences. Methods and Procedure. This article offers an analysis of the artist’s correspondence with friends and family members after 1790, and of writings and theories regarding his illness and change in artistic style. It also examines several of his Black Paintings and their symbolism. Conclusion. Goya’s illness may best be explained by Susac’s syndrome, but we must be wary of the tendency to attribute rare diseases to exceptional people. Another compelling possibility is that he suffered from cerebral malaria, and that prolonged treatment with high doses of cinchona bark caused cinchonism (quinine poisoning) and permanent hearing loss. Goya, a genius both before and after his illness, was a painter by vocation. Analysis of relevant texts seems to indicate that his escape from death let him overcome personal inhibitions and social conventions and paint whatever he wanted.
