    The Holy See ADDRESS OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE ITALIAN BISHOPS' CONFERENCE Thursday 17 May 2001 Dear Brothers in the Episcopate, 1. "Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" (I Cor 1,3). It is special for me to greet you with these words of the Apostle Paul. I greet and thank Cardinal Camillo Ruini, your President, for his address to me and in particular for the birthday wishes, together with the other Italian Cardinals, the Vice-Presidents and the new General Secretary. On this happy occasion of your general Assembly, I wish to express to you, and through you to the entire Italian Ecclesial Community, my sincere gratitude for the exceptional contribution you made to the successful outcome of the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000, which was an extraordinary season of grace for the whole Church. I especially intend to thank you for the generous efforts for the 15th World Youth Day: more than two million young people, of whom a large number were Italian, came to Rome in those unforgettable days, a testimony of how lively the faith is and of how deeply ecclesial belonging is felt among the new generations. The young people from other nations, they too arriving in huge numbers, experienced the capacity of the Italian Dioceses for hospitality nourished by love. 2. The central themes of your Assembly are the pastoral directives which you plan to offer the Church in Italy for the decade just begun. You have very opportunely linked these directives closely and organically to the Apostolic Letter Novo Millennio ineunte, which I signed at the end of the Holy Year.

  • The Italian High Renaissance (Florence and Rome, 1495-1520)
    The Italian High Renaissance (Florence and Rome, 1495-1520) The Artist as Universal Man and Individual Genius By Susan Behrends Frank, Ph.D. Associate Curator for Research The Phillips Collection What are the new ideas behind the Italian High Renaissance? • Commitment to monumental interpretation of form with the human figure at center stage • Integration of form and space; figures actually occupy space • New medium of oil allows for new concept of luminosity as light and shadow (chiaroscuro) in a manner that allows form to be constructed in space in a new way • Physiological aspect of man developed • Psychological aspect of man explored • Forms in action • Dynamic interrelationship of the parts to the whole • New conception of the artist as the universal man and individual genius who is creative in multiple disciplines Michelangelo The Artists of the Italian High Renaissance Considered Universal Men and Individual Geniuses Raphael- Self-Portrait Leonardo da Vinci- Self-Portrait Michelangelo- Pietà- 1498-1500 St. Peter’s, Rome Leonardo da Vinci- Mona Lisa (Lisa Gherardinidi Franceso del Giacondo) Raphael- Sistine Madonna- 1513 begun c. 1503 Gemäldegalerie, Dresden Louvre, Paris Leonardo’s Notebooks Sketches of Plants Sketches of Cats Leonardo’s Notebooks Bird’s Eye View of Chiana Valley, showing Arezzo, Cortona, Perugia, and Siena- c. 1502-1503 Storm Breaking Over a Valley- c. 1500 Sketch over the Arno Valley (Landscape with River/Paesaggio con fiume)- 1473 Leonardo’s Notebooks Studies of Water Drawing of a Man’s Head Deluge- c. 1511-12 Leonardo’s Notebooks Detail of Tank Sketches of Tanks and Chariots Leonardo’s Notebooks Flying Machine/Helicopter Miscellaneous studies of different gears and mechanisms Bat wing with proportions Leonardo’s Notebooks Vitruvian Man- c.

  • Going Political – Multimodal Metaphor Framings on a Cover of the Sports Newspaper a Bola
    Going political – multimodal metaphor framings on a cover of the sports newspaper A Bola Maria Clotilde Almeida*1 Abstract This paper analyses a political-oriented multimodal metaphor on a cover of the sports newspaper A Bola, sequencing another study on multimodal metaphors deployed on the covers of the very same sports newspaper pertaining to the 2014 Football World Cup in Brazil (ALMEIDA/SOUsa, 2015) in the light of Forceville (2009, 2012). The fact that European politics is mapped onto football in multimodal metaphors on this sports newspaper cover draws on the interplay of conceptual metaphors, respectively in the visual mode and in the written mode. Furthermore, there is a relevant time-bound leitmotif which motivates the mapping of politics onto football in the sports newspaper A Bola, namely the upcoming football match between Portugal and Germany. In the multimodal framing of the story line under analysis. The visual mode apparently assumes preponderance, since a picture of Angela Merkel, a prominent leader of EU, is clearly overshadowed by a large picture of Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of the Portuguese National Football team. However, the visual modality of Cristiano Ronaldo’s dominance over Angela Merkel is intertwined with the powerful metaphorical headline “Vamos expulsar a Alemanha do Euro” (“Let’s kick Germany out of the European Championship”), intended to boost the courage of the Portuguese national football team: “Go Portugal – you can win this time!”. Thus, differently from multimodal metaphors on other covers of the same newspaper, the visual modality in this case cannot be considered the dominant factor in multimodal meaning creation in this politically-oriented layout.

  • “Sacrum Convivium”. Formas E Conteúdos Da Ceia Do Rei De Portugal Na Idade Moderna a Partir Das Figurações Icónicas
    De Arte, 4, 2005, pp. 89-120 “Sacrum convivium”. Formas e conteúdos da ceia do rei de Portugal na Idade Moderna a partir das figurações icónicas Marco Daniel Duarte RESUMO. Os reis da Idade Moderna portuguesa, como os monarcas da restante Europa, tinham plena consciência da importância da alimentação e do simbolismo que, desde os tempos mais antigos da humanidade, a alimentação condensava através dos seus ritos. Faziam, assim, do acto de comer um cerimonial através do qual demonstravam o seu poder: ante os maiores do seu povo, o rei mostrava-se alimentador do seu reino e, também, alimentado pelo seu reino. Os vários ritos estavam de tal sorte associados ao ritual eucarístico que, inclusivamente, se poderá falar de um verdadeiro “sacrum convivium”. De entre as várias fontes que concorrem para esta percepção, têm um lugar primordial as fontes iconográficas (ceias, representação de festas, naturezas-mortas…), pois condensam em si, mais do que uma reprodução à maneira de reportagem, os valores que, na Idade Moderna, gravitavam em torno da sacralidade dos alimentos. Palabras‐chave: ceia, iconografia da alimentação, banquete, ritual, liturgia régia, eucaristia, natureza-morta, comida pública do rei, Última Ceia. ABSTRACT. The kings of the Portuguese Modern Age, such as the monarchs of the rest of Europe, had plain conscience of the importance of food and of the symbolism that, since the most ancient times of humanity, food condensed through its rites. They did, thus, from the act of eating a ceremonial through which they would show their power: in the face of the greatest of his people, the king showed himself as the feeder of his realm and, also, as the one who was fed by his kingdom.

  • The Last Supper Seen Six Ways by Louis Inturrisi the New York Times, March 23, 1997
    1 Andrea del Castagno’s Last Supper, in a former convent refectory that is now a museum. The Last Supper Seen Six Ways By Louis Inturrisi The New York Times, March 23, 1997 When I was 9 years old, I painted the Last Supper. I did it on the dining room table at our home in Connecticut on Saturday afternoon while my mother ironed clothes and hummed along with the Texaco. Metropolitan Operative radio broadcast. It took me three months to paint the Last Supper, but when I finished and hung it on my mother's bedroom wall, she assured me .it looked just like Leonardo da Vinci's painting. It was supposed to. You can't go very wrong with a paint-by-numbers picture, and even though I didn't always stay within the lines and sometimes got the colors wrong, the experience left me with a profound respect for Leonardo's achievement and a lingering attachment to the genre. So last year, when the Florence Tourist Bureau published a list of frescoes of the Last Supper that are open to the public, I was immediately on their track. I had seen several of them, but never in sequence. During the Middle Ages the ultima cena—the final supper Christ shared with His disciples before His arrest and crucifixion—was part of any fresco cycle that told His life story. But in the 15th century the Last Supper began to appear independently, especially in the refectories, or dining halls, of the convents and monasteries of the religious orders founded during the Middle Ages.

  • The Last Supper
    Easter | Session 2 | Uptown Good Friday Lesson The Last Supper BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 26; John 13 STORY POINT: Jesus and his disciples ate the first Lord’s Supper at Passover. KEY PASSAGE: Romans 10:9 BIG PICTURE QUESTION: Who saves us from our sin? Only Jesus saves us from sin. Activity page Invite kids to complete “The Lord’s Supper” on the activity page. Kids should use the code to reveal two important parts of the Lord’s Supper. (bread, cup) Each box relates to the corresponding letter’s position in the grid. SAY • In the Bible story we will hear today, Jesus ate a special meal with His disciples. The meal was usually to remember the Passover, but Jesus used the bread and the cup to talk about something even greater. Play Dough Meal Provide a lump of play dough for each kid. Invite kids to work together to sculpt items for a dinner. Kids may form cups, plates, flatware, and various foods. As kids work, ask them to describe what they are creating. SAY • Do you ever have a special meal to celebrate a holiday or event? What kinds of foods are served at that meal? Today we are going to hear about a meal Jesus ate with His disciples. We will also learn why believers still celebrate that meal today when we share the Lord’s Supper. The Bible Story Jesus’ disciples went into the city to prepare the Passover meal. When the meal was ready, Jesus and His disciples reclined at the table. Jesus knew His time on earth was almost over and He would soon return to the Father in heaven.

  • Scrovegni Chapel 1 Scrovegni Chapel
    Scrovegni Chapel 1 Scrovegni Chapel The Scrovegni Chapel, or Cappella degli Scrovegni, also known as the Arena Chapel, is a church in Padua, Veneto, Italy. It contains a fresco cycle by Giotto, completed about 1305, that is one of the most important masterpieces of Western art. The church was dedicated to Santa Maria della Carità at the Feast of the Annunciation, 1305. Giotto's fresco cycle focuses on the life of the Virgin Mary and celebrates her role in human salvation. The chapel is also known as the Arena Chapel because it was built on land purchased by Enrico Scrovegni that abutted the site of a Roman arena. This space is where an open-air procession and sacred representation of the Annunciation to the Virgin had been played out for a generation before the chapel was built. A motet by Marchetto da Padova appears to have been composed for the dedication on March 25, 1305.[1] The chapel was commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni, whose family fortune was made through the practice of usury, which at this time meant charging interest when loaning money, a sin so grave that it resulted in exclusion from the Christian sacraments.[2] Built on family estate, it is often suggested that Enrico built the chapel in penitence for his father's sins and for Capella degli Scrovegni absolution for his own. Enrico's father Reginaldo degli Scrovegni is the usurer encountered by Dante in the Seventh Circle of Hell. A recent study suggests that Enrico himself was involved in usurious practices and that the chapel was intended as restitution for his own sins.[3] Enrico's tomb is in the apse, and he is also portrayed in the Last Judgment presenting a model of the chapel to the Virgin.
