Lawrence Alma-Tadema 1836-1912 Love's Jewelled Fetter (The Betrothal Ring) Oil on wood Photo is taken by @robertpuffjr This painting transposes to Antiquity Amazone, a novel by Dutch writer Carel Vosmaer (1880), which recounts the adventures of the artist Swart Aisma and his love affair with poetess Marciana van Buren. On the marble terrace of a luxurious villa overlooking the Bay of Naples, Marciana shows a friend her ring, a symbol of Aisma's love for her. The latter is depicted in the portrait hanging behind her, inspired by the Fayum mummy portraits of ancient Egypt. At the top right of the composition, we can recognize the Boy with Thorn statue.

Museum Visit Assignment
Unknown / Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) / China
Green Glazed Terracotta Three-Tiered Tower
Glazed Terracotta / 206 BC - 22 CE
Gift of Cynthia “Sachi” Wagner / FIU 2020.6
The Green Glazed Terracotta Three-Tiered Tower is an art sculpture piece I’ve found most interesting from my visit to the Frost Art Museum. It’s a monumental Han Dynasty Terracotta tomb piece meant to protect its owner from the afterlife. This is a sculpture born from clay hardening over the years and glazing. It was made possible from the artist’s experimentation with Earthenware, a substance I’ve yet to utilize. It is a very ambitious piece that has a total of three sections that have two levels each, making it a six-level tower. It’s amazing that the tower is preserved so well that there are literally no cracks found anywhere in the foundation. It’s a hardened sculpture piece made from a substance so soft and easily controllable. I’ve always wanted to have my clay hardened similarly to how the tower is. The tint of emerald green makes it very beautiful and shows its importance and valuable significance.
Lydia Azout - Red Universal / Universal Grid / 1988
Steel with Rust Patina
The Frost Art Museum / Gift of Lydia Azout / 2012.23
Lydia Azout’s Red Universal / Universal Grid looks professionally straightforward and gratifying, but I found the creation a little complicated to understand. The configuration is coated brown, meaning it symbolizes a sense of loneliness and isolation. The atmosphere around it felt a little melancholic. The grid-shape has its horizontal and vertical lines crisscrossing constantly all over the top, but the lower half is another story. It’s difficult to see what the bottom really looks like when approximately more than half of the formation is almost coated by the top allotment. What I could say positively about Azout’s Red Universal / Universal Grid is that I really admire how very linear the steel is displayed. It manifests a magnificent shape that really attracts my attention. It reminds me of all those street safety signs, only the grid is concerned with sculpture. It was kind of adorable that the four small circles found within the diamond-shaped holes made it resemble a Lego set.

From my previous Eskişehir Trip as I did not want to pass this special museum - the Odunpazari Modern Museum (OMM).
On the left, capturing the magic of the "fifth element" under daylight by Tanabe Chikuunsa, a stunning installation crafted from tiger bamboo. On the right, admiring the intricate design of the museum's roof window, nestled between the wooden walls.

RICHARD BRAKENBURGH Haarlem 1650 - 1702 The Feast of St Nicholas 1685 Photo is taken by: @robertpuffjr This 17th-century scene represents a wealthy family celebrating the typically Dutch feast of St Nicholas. Neither St Nicholas nor his helper 'Pete' are depicted, which was common practice in the 17th century: the holy man stayed out of sight at the time and 'Pete' was not introduced until the 19th century. For this painting Brakenburg took inspiration from his predecessor Jan Steen. Note the little boy on the left, crying because, instead of presents, he has been given the 'roe' (birch rod) in his shoe, for bad behaviour. In the centre we see a woman teasingly waving the boy's shoe at him. On the right another boy is playing happily on his new drum. (This writeup is taken from the description at the museum.)
