  • Late Eighteenth Century Painters in Malta -.:: GEOCITIES.Ws
    Source: PROCEEDINGS OF HISTORY WEEK. (1993)(91-106) [p.91] Late eighteenth Century Painters in Malta: a Case Study - the Via Crucis at the Parish Church Naxxar Keith Sciberras The artistic production of Maltese eighteenth century painters included the prolific production of cycles of the fourteen devotional paintings representing the Stations of the Cross or Via Crucis. The liturgy of the Via Crucis had, by the second half of the eighteenth century, developed into an important cult practised in the island’s many churches and the fourteen paintings marked a number of devotional stopping places in the nave of the church. Prayers were said before each image during the Crucis devotion. The first nine Stations represent scenes illustrating the Road to Calvary and include Christ before Pilate, scenes of the carrying and falling under the weight of the cross, the meeting with the Virgin, Simon the Cyrenian, the Veronica, and the mourning women. The other scenes respectively represent Christ stripped of his garments, the nailing to the Cross, the Crucifixion, the Pietà and the Entombment. The presence of the most important artists is rare and paintings were generally entrusted to minor painters who tended to repeat representational models from widely circulated prints. The repetition of the same images in different churches became, therefore, common. The cycle was, however, not always the work of a single artist and there were frequent occasions when the whole became an assemblage of works by different painters. These could include the occasional painting by the better artists, such as Gio. Nicola Buhagiar (1698-1752) and Francesco Zahra (1710-1773).

  • MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 232 August 2018 1
    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 232 August 2018 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 232 August 2018 MDINA – THE MEDIEVAL AND MYSTERIOUS CITY Mdina is a fortified city, situated on the highest hill in Malta, in the northern region. Back in the day, until the medieval times, it was in fact Malta’s capital. The city still remains within the city walls and have a population of only approximately 300 people. The history of Mdina can be traced back more than 4000 years. According to tradition the Apostle St Paul is said to have lived here after being shipwrecked on the Islands back in 60 AD. Its medieval name – The Noble City – is a very apt description of Mdina, as is the more common name Mdina is now known by – The Silent City. We used the hop on hop off bus to get to Mdina from St Julian’s. It probably isn’t the quickest way of getting there but it did give us the opportunity to sit on the top deck of the bus and take in the Maltese countryside. As we arrived so did another half a dozen or so other buses – both sightseeing ones and public ones. This in turn created the impression that it was going to be heaving with people once inside the city walls, as people edged towards the city gates, which were featured in Game of Thrones, eager to see what was waiting on the other side. The chatter once inside subsided as people were obviously taken aback by the beautiful buildings they were greeted with – it truly is an open-air museum just waiting to be explored and is one of Europe’s leading examples of walled cities.
