  • The Holistic Portrait Peter Michael Hornung, Editor
    88 THE HOLISTIC PORTRAIT By Peter Michael Hornung, Editor and Art Critic at “Politiken” Like other artists in our chaotically picture rich modern age, the painter Ralph Heimans also owes a professional debt to the art that preceded his own work his- torically. However, though he may have turned to it, asked it questions and drawn inspiration from it, he has never copied it. On the other hand, though, his personal standpoint as an artist is a result of the inspiration he drew from it. No one can create anything lasting and valuable without swearing some sort of oath to history, and any artist, even the most rebellious and experimental (or the opposite), must inscribe his or her work in a development, in which he or she serves as a link between past and future: between what went before and maybe influenced them, and what will come after and perhaps be coloured by them. This applies particularly to any artist who has chosen portrait painting as his or her sphere. In this field, the models extend far back in history. The need to be portrayed has existed for as long as there has been people with power and influ- ence: people who wished to be notably present, not only in their age, but also for posterity. Portraits are like memories. With the right degree of likeness they pos- sess the special capacity to make absent people present. Consideration for this likeness is also the reason why people still allow themselves to be painted, model- led, photographed, sketched etc. Heimans’ success as an artist in this historic genre lies not only in the fact that his paintings present a ‘likeness’, as it is referred to in the profession: in other words, that there is a clear and visible correspondence between the character appearing in the painting and the person who was the reason for that painting, and whom the painting must either remind us of or introduce us to.

The men’s careers witness both to a fluidity of religious identity which might facilitate their advancement at Court, but also to its narrowing over the course of the reign. KEY WORDS Elizabethan Catholic courtiers. Religious identity. 1 FIVE ELIZABETHAN COURTIERS, THEIR CATHOLIC CONNECTIONS, AND THEIR CAREERS This article is a preliminary investigation of the careers of known or suspected Catholics in the upper reaches of the Elizabethan Court, among those closest to the Queen in the Privy Chamber and Chamber.

    George VI of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 10/6/11 10:20 PM George VI of the United Kingdom From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from King George VI) George VI (Albert Frederick Arthur George; 14 December 1895 – 6 February 1952) was King of the United Kingdom George VI and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth from 11 December 1936 until his death. He was the last Emperor of India, and the first Head of the Commonwealth. As the second son of King George V, he was not expected to inherit the throne and spent his early life in the shadow of his elder brother, Edward. He served in the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force during World War I, and after the war took on the usual round of public engagements. He married Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in 1923, and they had two daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret. George's elder brother ascended the throne as Edward VIII on the death of their father in 1936. However, less than a year later Edward revealed his desire to marry the divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson. British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin advised Edward that for political and Formal portrait, c. 1940–46 religious reasons he could not marry Mrs Simpson and remain king. Edward abdicated in order to marry, and George King of the United Kingdom and the British ascended the throne as the third monarch of the House of Dominions (more...) Windsor. Reign 11 December 1936 – 6 February On the day of his accession, the parliament of the Irish Free 1952 State removed the monarch from its constitution.

The subject of the present work, after a protracted consideration of some years, was entered upon by the author with the greatest diffidence, from a consciousness of the uncertainty as to how far it might be possible, by personal application, to obtain the intelligence absolutely necessary to make it acceptable. He was sensible that nothing short of a disposition all but universal in his favour could enable him to give it such a stamp of originality and novelty as might warrant the expectation of ultimate success. The difficulties here intimated, however, have been surmounted even to an extent exceeding his most sanguine anticipation; and in return the author can claim for himself, with the greatest confidence, the merit of not having abused so unexpected and liberal a patronage.
