  • Et in Arcadia Ego Mary Beard and John Henderson
    Et in Arcadia Ego Mary Beard and John Henderson Before he wrote his monument al Aeneid, Virgil produced a collection of shorter 'pastoral' poems, the Eclogues or Bucolics. These evoke a very different world from the epic adventures that led to the founding of Rome. They take us instead outside the historical world of cities, politics, and war, to a place where herdsmen sit untroubled beneath shady trees that give shelter from the midday sun, trading songs or lamenting their ill-luck in love; meanwhile, their animals rest, or take water, in the heat of the day. This idyllic setting is Virgil's 'Arcadia' – a special 'elsewhere', where the imagination can escape mundane time and tune into the original scene of singing. It is a place where minds can wander, and poets and musicians have returned there ever since, re-imagining this community where song means more than status or possessions. But at the same time Virgil pictured his idyllic world as already threatened. The city and its wars cast long shadows across the lives and songs of the herdsmen and farmers. Some, for example, face arbitrary eviction and exile; some, equally arbitrarily, are spared and even rewarded. These are decisions imposed from Rome – and far exceed the understanding of the Arcadian singers. Virgil's vision includes both the innocence of song and the encroachment of massive forces bound to destroy its delicate fragility. In the centre of the Eclogues is a poem in which two herdsmen exchange songs to mark the death of the archetypal, mythical singer, Daphnis – their inspiration.

Flight into Egypt, 1603-4, oil on canvas The Carracci family of Bologna consisted of two brothers, Agostino (1557-1602) and Annibale (1560-1609), and their cousin Ludovico (1556-1619). In Bologna in the 1580s the Carracci had organized gatherings of artists called the Accademia degli Incamminati (academy of the initiated). It was one of the several such informal groups that enabled artists to discuss problems and practice drawing in an atmosphere calmer and more studious than that of a painter’s workshop. The term ‘academy’ was more generally applied at the time to literary associations, membership of which conferred intellectual rank.

    NEWS RELEASE FOURTH STREET AT CONSTITUTION AVENUE NW WASHINGTON DC 20565 . 737-4215/842-6353 EXHBITION FACT SHEET Title; THE TREASURE HOUSES OF BRITAIN: FIVE HUNDRED YEARS OF PRIVATE PATRONAGE AND ART COLLECTING Patrons: Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales Dates; November 3, 1985 through March 16, 1986, exactly one week later than previously announced. (This exhibition will not travel. Loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late summer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits; This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration v\n.th the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. History of the exhibition; The suggestion that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art was made by the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery, responded with the idea of an exhibition on the British Country House as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust.

  • ITNOG 2006) - April 2006
    In the Name of Glory 2006 FOREWORD By Stuart Asquith Military Writer and Historian In the Name of Glory started life as a simple system that would enable large demonstration war games to be played relatively quickly. Over a period of time these simple rules have evolved into the gaming system you see here. I first saw these rules being used to conduct a 6 mm war game at the Napoleonic Fair in London in 1998. I was impressed by the way that such a large game, played with thousands of figures, flowed with ease and the very positive reception the game received, both from war gamers and members of the public. Due to the interest shown by other war gamers, their designer David Marks decided to finance the publication of his rules. The high standard of presentation and the quality of the rules themselves impressed me. They were well laid out, easy to follow and managed to retain my interest - always a bonus. I found David's rules surprisingly easy to master and the straightforward playing system creates a good historical representation of Napoleonic warfare. The ongoing morale system, and the command and control system, together with the rule’s many subtleties surely capture the flavour, excitement and unpredictability of battle. The rules contain a good deal of very useful information and the precalculated tables, used to resolve firing and melee save time by eliminating the need to trawl through lists of factors. Over the years, I have used many sets of rules, but it has been a long time since a set of rules such as In the Name of Glory has resulted in so many enjoyable and interesting games.
