|Santa Maria della Concezione Crypts| __________________________________________ The #crypts of Capuchin friars decorated with the #bones of over 4,000 friars, including an entire "crypt of pelvises". __________________________________________ In 1775, The Marquis de Sade wrote of it, “I have never seen anything more striking”. Granted, the crypt was to his tastes. Mark Twain wrote about it in his 1869 book Innocents Abroad. When Twain asked one of the monks what would happen when he died, the monk responded, “We must all lie here at last”. And lie there they do. Some 4,000 Capuchin friars who died between 1528 and 1870 are still lying, hanging, and generally adorning the Santa Maria della Concezione crypt in Rome. In 1631, the Capuchin friars, so-called because of the “capuche” or hood attached to their religious habit, left the friary of St. Bonaventure near the Trevi Fountain and came to live at Santa Maria della Concezione, of which only the church and crypt remain. They were ordered by Cardinal Antonio Barberini (the Pope’s brother and a member of the Capuchin order) to bring the remains of the deceased friars along with them to their new home so that all the Capuchin friars might be in one place. Rather than simply burying the remains of their dead brethren, the monks decorated the walls of the crypts with their bones as a way of reminding themselves that death could come at any time. A plaque in the crypt reads, “What you are now, we once were; what we are now, you shall be”. The ossuary contains a crypt of skulls, a crypt of leg bones, and perhaps the oddest—a “crypt of pelvises”. Mummified monks were dressed in friar’s clothes and hung from the walls and ceiling. With the addition of electricity, light fixtures were incorporated into some of the hanging monks, bringing a new meaning to the phrase “the eternal light”. A particular #highlight of the crypt is the #skeleton enclosed in an oval of bones holding a scythe and scales—tools made entirely out of, yes, bones. The crypt is said to have been the inspiration for Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic. __________________________________________ @be_Amyas #mypersonalselection #mypersonaltripaboutart (at Cripta-Ossario Frati Cappuccini-Roma Via Veneto) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA07jGeHhuT/?igshid=yc0se2yqeizb

|JUDITH AND HER MAIDSERVANT| ARTEMESIA GENTILESCHI HANDMADE OIL PAINTING ON CANVAS Artemisia Gentileschi was a feminist long before the movement started. She was definitely ahead of her time, as an artist and as a person. This Italian baroque artist was famous for her gory paintings depicting women empowerment and revenge. Her painting Judith and Her Maidservant depicts a scene from the Book of Judith, where Judith murders the general Holofernes after seducing him. In the painting, the severed head of Holofernes is being placed by the maidservant in a bag while Judith makes sure that nobody else is around. _____________________________________________ #artemisiagentileschi #artist #art #oilpainting #painting #painter #oilcanvas #arthistory #judithandhermaidservant #murder #holofernes #mypersonaltripaboutart #mypersonalselection #be_amyas @be_amyas #🎩 https://www.instagram.com/p/CDCQqiUH6VA/?igshid=5d41t5avm9vk

|Vision of Saint Francis of Assisi| - #detail - Jusepe de Ribera •1638• _____________________________________________ Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera, or with the nickname Spagnoletto (Xàtiva, 17 February 1591 - Naples, 2 September 1652), was a Spanish painter, active mainly in Naples. He was one of the greatest protagonists of European painting of the seventeenth century and one of the most important painters who followed the trend of caravaggism. Together with other painters of the century, such as Luca Giordano, Francesco Solimena, Massimo Stanzione, Mattia Preti, Aniello Falcone, Salvator Rosa, Bernardo Cavallino, Battistello Caracciolo and Fabrizio Santafede, he was one of the most important exponents of Neapolitan painting. The nickname Spagnoletto, widespread in Italy (in the following century it was also the nickname of another painter, Crespi), derived from his short stature. _____________________________________________ #spagnoletto #jusepederibera #joséderibera #pitturanapoletana #caravaggismo #paint #painter #caravaggism #exponents #paintings #art #arthistory #artist #century #be_amyas #mypersonaltripaboutart #mypersonalselection #🎩 @be_amyas https://www.instagram.com/p/CDBYNeBn8HJ/?igshid=1clyo9luf02iy
