I can't I'm how we run and I'm trying to be well today we're going to talk about what is perhaps the most most of all, images and Christian are definitely one of the most famous p a and I was originally going to research, just the attack on legal Angelos Piazza and linking seventy two and we are going to talk about that but as I got to researching that I ended up down this sort of wonder rabbit hole of this image in History is depicted by many artists over time and specifically the ones that Michelangelo worked on, because there were more than one and we'll talk about it.

Those that so this episode ended up really being a little bit of a smorgasbord. There is. Bit of light art history. There is a little bit about Michelangelo, but we're not really doing a biography of him were just talking about these works of art and kind of some of his life surrounding them, not in great depth, and a bit about aren't debasement more than one in fact, and were also gonna touch on the great care that is needed to move a sculpture of the nature of the famous theatre that legal until they worked on super. Getting a little bit of all of that in today's episode. Just in case you don't know, the appeared I in the general sense is any depiction or representation of the virgin Mary more hanging over Christ's dead body. I don't know why I certainly would like that sounded so bleak ray is bleak. If they're very sad, yeah. Well. Obviously, the word derived

from the latin word for pity. However, the use of this word to apply to these pieces comes after they start to appear in art. Here we see them starting these images of of Mary holding Christ after the crucifix him around the thirteenth century by That word doesn't really come in that sense until I think the sixteen hundred so another thing its interest, and is that, although this is a significant moment in the christian religion, this scene in this, the symmetry that scene actually is at present in the gospels, like there's not a specific moment where they described this- the Christ. Crucifixion is in their dissent from the cross or the the deposition, as if I've called station Christ being

on the ground, and the in two men are all there in the new testament, but there really is no description of Mary cradling, her son, yet it became a really important image. In a lecture given by the Right Reverend Lord Harry's at the Museum of London. In March, twenty fifteen, the speaker outlines the factors that he believes contribute to the origin of the piazza as a significant scene and religious art, despite had not actually being something. That's ever mentioned in Scripture Harry's describes the development of devotional images verses, narrative images and whereas narrative religious are clearly shows a story playing out devotion Madrid takes these images out of their narrative context, and this came about in the thirteen hundreds

relation to an intense religious reverence, these images were basically so that the devoted could fix eight and think on the suffering of Christ as a part of personal prayer and meditation fail as part of a group of common devotional images to come out of Germany's specifically during the thirteen hundreds seen of the piazza emerged. This is due to the fact that Mary, as a religious figure, was gaining a greater position, so her suffering to was to be contemplated in devotional Mary pain and lament over Christ. That had long been a part of religious writings before the visual of this moment of grief became a standard. There are three main types of tat. The first is the early german in which the torture of Christ is upright, with the head arms and legs at diagonal placements in relation to the torso

this is often portrayed in a smaller size compared to marry this Harkin's back to his child state too knows when you see these their bit jarring, because he looks like in adult man, but he's very small in relation to marry and his suffering is usually depicted in in great depth and with clarity he looks like he's in terrible pain. Mary for her part, is often shown in deep sorrow or her face is often contorted with grief and the first of these images in this style date back to again the early thirteen hundreds, the fact that type which came about in the late fifteenth century is characterized by Christ. Body depicted with a continuous curve. Marries grief is often more restrained in these and she often holds her hands and a prayer position rather than hole, the body of her son and the third type, which also dates back to the fifteenth century, is characterized by the body of Christ in a horizontal, usually

Our position and these often feature more people in the tab blow not just crested Mary, and there is often a peaceful landscape in the background, and sometimes there is an architectural feature. Christ wounds are frequently, though, not always less of a focus. It's a little bit of a softer image. It's not so fraught with grief between thirteen hundred and fifteen hundred personal iconography became a lot more common. Previously to that art had been more of a public. That. So during this period, works of art representing the piazza, became more prevalent in people's private homes instead of just out in public spaces So it is a little bit early on that in the next segment. Iran's kind of long and we're gonna talk about the three different versions of the theatre created by Michelangelo, so we're gonna pause, endorsed sponsor break now.

Nine, these meagre still very young at this point- travel from Florence to Venice and two bologna and eventually ended up in Rome in fourteen ninety six, when Michelangelo the to create his famous piazza. He was only twenty four. The contract was signed on August, twenty seven fourteen. Ninety eight that guy human has actually now part of the Vatican's collection. The work was intended for the Funeral Chapel of Saint Petronia in Saint Petersburg Silica. The person who requested Dar was French ambassador, Cardinal Bellair DE la guerrilla peace. The would be part of the day core of the chapel where he was to be incurred and we're funeral services would be given for other people as well, one tasked with this piece, the artist Michelangelo set out to find me most perfect block of marble. He could find he found one eventually, which he claimed had no faults and he set to work

Michelangelo, work on Jean De Villiers Commission from one thousand four hundred and ninety eight to one thousand five hundred and he worked in the round. So you was able to access all sides of the peace at once. Finish, sculpture, ways, three tonnes, the had died, fourteen ninety nine, so he did not get to see the completed work. This sculpture which a lot of our listeners have probably seen, at least in pictures of spectacular, will include a links in the share notes with a virtual tour of it online. It's really unique in its peacefulness Mary appears to be very young. It's an appearance that Michael attributed to her purity when people criticized his choice to show her as a youth. The tour so wound of Christ is minimize, and there is above almost all else, the sense of serenity to the work rather than suffering. Mary is not directly touching the body of Christ. In this sculpture, there is actually a cloth carved in

queen her hand and the sight of his torso, where she supporting him in this denotes the sacred nature of his physical body. The relative size of the two figures is also something a note. While her head is proportional to her, funds must sculpture. Mary of body is larger. Like an early german style of Pierre towers. It appears to be worth a visual and logistical, Mead and Michelangelo sculpture, marries body. Did to be large enough to support her son and the depth of the cloth draped around Mary gives them culture and incredibly realistic effect, but also hides the size disparity in this The mission peace was also intended to sit above the altering the Funeral chapter Chapel, so part of this size disparity was possibly and to a visual allusion both of Mary offering up crazed just as much were offering up their deceased loved ones.

Also if she had been a normal size in the sculpture like if you were standing near it. Then would have appeared unrealistically tiny. Once the sculpture was placed in its intended position in the chapel- and we know me Angelo kind of thought about these things and other sculptures it comes up here will talk about the David sometimes and how it was meant to be displayed in how the proportions were effected at so. We know that he thought about this kind of thing: and let me know he was keenly aware of how I cite line and presentation would affect the need for size. This was the only one of my landlady sculptures that he carved his full name into allegedly he'd overheard visitors, attributing the work to another artist after it had been installed in the chapel, and so he made his mark on the ribbon draped across marries chest by night, though he regretted having done that, and he vowed to never again put his name on his work because he found it to be pride, full

Peter on, though he regretted having done that, and he vowed to never again put his name on his work because he found it to be pride full, and this sculpture was so well received that it was a really significant factor in the launch of Michael Angela's career to see it, and this is a sort of one? Is wonderfully rare cases of an artist actually appreciate being appreciated in his time rather than after it, because Michelangelo lived another sixty four years after completing the data, so he was able to see the effect his work have on people and how beloved it was from basically day one of his existence. It kind of made him a rock are so the piazza that you think of when you hear than Amy Glandular that, when that we have just been talking about, is the most famous, but not his only depiction of that moment

second Piazza also known as the Florentines Piazza and the deepest Isham was worked out over a number of years, beginning in fifteen forty seven and this piece was not commissioned. It was intended by the artists to adorn his own final resting place and as such was something of a passion project. The Florence mph eyes kind about puzzler. Its meeting is not immediately clear, both the stage of the Christ narrative and whose included Have we have really been debated by art historian at great length from the narrative context? Some elements of the peace indicate that it's a representation of the deposition others had, but it's more of a pizza and yet others we people to interpretation that is supposed to be the into men of Christ. It even possible that Michelangelo, intended to bland multiple narratives into this when work- and there figures in this

sure so already we're in a departure from the classic Marian Crazed set up. One is Christ. One is the virgin Mary and another person is Mary Magdalen, but the fourth figure is where the confused and the various interpretations really come into play. This fourth figure is a hooded figure in its he'll and stands above the other three, and it is not entirely clear to everyone who is supposed to be, I will say, When I say that there are people who believe very firmly that they know who is supposed to be but debate continues, it could be the biblical figure Joseph of Eritrea who provided his own intended to as the resting place for Jesus after the crucifix. Then it could be naked demons. The Pharisee who appears in the gospel of John and assists in the burial of Jesus, the nickel demons.

Her protection is a common line. Is the figure is Joseph Aramis area that that figure, combined with the presence of Mary Magdalen, would suggest that this is an entombment peace, as those two figures are traditionally more associated with art depicting that phase of the narrative is, it is Nick Demas. It more strongly at being the deposition, as both Joseph and academia are featured in that element in the narrative traditionally in art, but Nicodemus is not normally featured in depictions of the entombment and fifteen. Fifty five Michelangelo attempted to destroy the Florentine p. Tat he was successful in breaking off Christ, left leg and arm, and he chipped other sections and why he did this, clear. But there are a number of theories and the truth may lie in some combination of several or all of them, one, that the artist was troubled by a particularly proud

Matic vein in the marble which frustrated him to the point of despair, and he just got angry and wanted to smash it. Anybody he's done something. Creative can know that those happen. Another is that his servant had been nagging him to finish the peace which made him irritated with the whole enterprise again to the point where he was just frustrated and angry. Those two reasons were given by Mc Lane when himself when on the matter in the account written by one of his contemporaries, Georgie of a sorry. The third and fourth theories, exactly what happened are a little bit more involved. So the first of these involves the placement of Christ flag, which is slung across his mother's lap, and that this was a problematic symbol that Michelangelo believed could be misconstrued or that he felt that he hadn't properly captured So. At this point in our history, a leg placed in another's lap held a sexual meaning. It suggested that the the pair involved in this crossing of legs across

were romantically or a radically entwined and for Christ to have his leg. In his mother's lab actually easily fit in with the symbolism of Mary, representing the churches, the bride of Christ said this was not necessarily an issue, and there was existing. Art I'm that included the leg of crisis draped across Mary as he was taken down, and the deposition and is in a state where the body is not supported by the self, so it drooping and its falling is possible, however, though, that Miguel Angel was concerned that there could be confusion, and so he intended to alter this peace by first removing the whig. So it was less of destruction, situation in and, moreover, what's our waste start over in fixing pieces. The fourth theory involves the headed figure. Again, it's often been discussed that the Nicodemus figure was also intended to be a self portrait of Michelangelo, as Nick Demons had connection to sculpting. This would have been a pretty

After all, move on the part of the artist but Michelangelo had become more involved with the school of belief, known as negativism, which I didn't wished to separate from the catholic Church but also held beliefs more in line with protestant values. He may have intended to remove his likeness ass Nicodemus from the work in order to avoid suspicion that he was actually a religious dissenter have intended to remove his likeness ass. Nickleby must find the work in order to avoid suspicion that he was actually a religious dissenter. Eventually, Michelangelo consented to allow one of his pupils to burial Kilkenny to restore the peace, but not the.

Then broken, and it is now on display at the Museum Del Africa Del Duomo in Florence, ITALY, in the fifteen fifties, Michelangelo began yet a third Peter Sculpture, the Random Mimi Theatre. He worked on his peace right up until the week of his death and fifteen. Sixty four like the Florentine Pierre tireless work was intended himself, rather than as a commission and it breaks for the structure of the earlier works. Depicting this moment instead of Mary holding her son in front of her, she stands behind him, not supporting him. It almost from some angles as though he is actually supporting her.

And this is a less refined and nuanced work than his two other Peters. If you look at photographs of them, you can tell obviously by comparison to the roman theatre, which is just a spectacular, beautiful, realistic. Looking thing this is not at that level and in part, that was because near the time of his death, he hacked apart a lot of this statue in intent, to start over and he retained only one of Christ's arms from the original part of his work in nineteen sixty four culture was loaned to the New York World Sphere, where it was displayed as part of the can pavilion behind bulletproof glass. More specifically, it was loaned to the New York Worlds, fair, where it was displayed as part of the Vatican Pavilion behind bulletproof glass. More specifically was displayed behind seven sheets of bulletproof plexiglas, each of which weighed about seven hundred pounds, which is about three hundred and eighteen kilograms, but just to get the skull

I was peace was a work of really careful engineering. A special committee called the Vatican Pavilion Transport Committee was formed to address this task and one of the challenges involved here, was that no one really knew for certain precisely how delicate or Joel or strong. The statue was at this point. It had been sitting in the Vatican for hundreds of years and there is a danger. Internal figures in the marble. They couldn't be seen just from external examination, but that could cause it to crack if it was bugged or moved in the wrong way when the peace had been moved within the Vatican roughly two centuries. Prior to this New York adventure, the left hand of the

Jen Mary had suffered damage, so there was a very real awareness of the danger involved in an overseas wage radiologists. Firm Eastman Kodak were called in to make films of the piazza, and the marble was determined to be perfect, although x rays did clearly show pins that had been used to repair the damage hand. Just the same. The engineers working on the packaging approached the job, with the assumption that there were indeed fishers, though they designed the most, shock proof ride that they possibly could. There were three nesting cases initially made for the job. The exterior case, with steel and inside that were to wooden cases in inside those was the p a top and the weight of the case. Is the statue in all of the packing materials had to be carefully calculated to ensure that, as the parcel travelled the Atlantic Ocean on a ship, any shock would be them,

salute Minimum and that all physical extensions of the arts of the pieces that are separate away from the main central peace would be carefully cradled and supported with the void spaces carefully. Its embraced, if you have access to justice or one of my sources on this- is a very fantastic and very technical article about all of this, which includes tables of calculation for static stress that all kinds of other testing at laid out in graph and here

form. So, if you're interested in the nitty gritty of the engineering around this, I highly recommend you go. Take a peek at that to test the design, a plaster replica of another Michelangelo statue. Moses was used to perform throb tests from heights, ranging from a hundred and seventy two hundred and sixty centimetres and similar packaging. The combination of nesting cases and loose found Phil proved successful. In this testing, compression testing was also performed eventually. The second inner case was abandoned to enable the use of more foam polystyrene, which added both cushion an buoyancy should things go awry at sea. I can't imagine how stressed I would be if I'm her, who did the people tasked with figuring this out? Why are you doing it made me stress just reading this guy, The article I mention was written by

the engineers that worked on this, and it made me stress just reading his description of it, even though he seemed very like ok, we're solving these problems were figuring of our being meticulous and thorough and careful, but at all it was stressful so the packing procedure to actually get the sculpture into this casing was just as carefully planned as the design of the packaging itself. So, for that previously broken hand that we mention each of the digits was wrapped in elastic bandage individually, and then they carefully packed foam policy. In the gaps between the fingers and then the whole hand was wrapped again. That's just one example of sort of the care that they were taking and the assembly of the wooden create was carefully choreographed flicked the they had an exact number of stages in order of stages that, like every piece had to be put together, as the sculpture was going into

great and multiple stages. The foam polystyrene, which was in the form of these dilate beads, was added and again is more more more detail of this extraordinarily complex and careful effort in the article which I can't stop talking about to everyone, because I'm in love with that, the Exterior Steelcase was painted white with blue markings and orange on top, because that's the most easy to see color at sea, the case within escorted extremely slowly aren't tracks to the dark police escorted there and it was cable to the deck of the transport ship with extreme care and precision and that journey across the ocean like too to the dogs to get to the ship to get across the ocean to get to New York was just incredibly kind. That engineer that read article was saying we did all this work and thankfully, our work, R M arson You were never really tested because at no point did the parts,

ever shifts like drop unprepared more than a third of a centimeter, so really all of that engineering effort. They were happy to do it and they were glad it was never really put to the test. But we don't know if I really like. Did everything perfect like if it had fallen? We No still, if it would have survived or not well in the sea, is off the thieves alight. There I saw a terrifying photograph of this I suggest, strapped to the deck of the ship link it wasn't inside. It was, and I was up like the plan, because it was waterproof and it was determined that that was a safer way to do it and put it in a cargo hold. But oh my eye, it was so restful, look at these pictures, but beta

Not the only art that was sent to New York by the Vatican travelled along with an even older sculpture, the good shepherd, but the PS I was really the star of the Show- was displayed against a blue background. Surrounded by vertical The vote of lights. Millions of people visited the pavilion to view it, and you can find photographs and home movies taken of this love the display online, yet There are lots of those available if you just do an internet search for tee TAT, New York Worlds, fair you'll instantly see dozens and dozens of of, in many cases, really beautifully taken photographs of how it was displayed and the world's fair appearance of the Roman It was so incredibly popular that the Vatican started receiving a steady stream of requests for the statute to be loan for other events and overweight by all of this correspondence and unwilling to take the risk of having this prize work of art on a prolonged tour. The Vatican ended up.

Issuing a statement that Michelangelo's Peter would stay and Saint Peters permanently. Once it returned home. Although the new travel announcement was made in part to keep the piazza safe troubles still befell the statue in nineteen. Seventy two, this is really the only thing I was gonna talk about, but obviously I got interested and lots of other stuff along the way, so well visiting, say: Peters Basilica in nineteen. Thirty, two and thirty three Hungarian Manly LE named Laszlo toss jumped over an altar railing and attack the theatre. He was able to hit the statute twelve times with a hammer, marries left arm in hand were damaged. The arm was completely separate off and her nose was broken and the three her left, I led head and neck were also damaged and when the attack was over, more than one hundred fragments had been not from the statue pathways subdued by tourists and security guards, and he was taken away

he yelled. Throughout the incident I am Jesus Christ. Christ has risen from the dead. He went on to claim that God had told him to destroy, marries image because he as Laszlo Slash Christ is eternal. He could have no mother. There was a great deal of debate about how to repair the statue and in fact, whether it should be repaired at all? There were plenty of art historians making the case that it should be left in its damage state, as sort of it. A historical record of the attack eventually, however, the decision was made to perform a thorough and careful restoration which would leave no obvious visual clear as to what has happened over the course of five months. Fragments in pieces were identified in catalogued once that process was complete, a lab was set up, round the statue, so it could be worked on without removing it from the chapel and a key

the nation of an invisible glue and marble powder, was used as a and resource painstakingly placed each broken peace back into position, and they didn't even actually have every missing piece which new, based on their months of inventory, work that they have done prior to re assembly. So angry I know I know, but this is the part read, like others, think it said. At the end of recovery, one missing piece did arrive at an anonymous parcel from the United States. A visiting tourist who had witnessed the attack took one of the pieces home, but then mailed it back over feeling guilt over the superstitious souvenir many other tourists, tick shards as well, which were never never returned, and I would like to say what is wrong with you yeah I, as I was thinking about it, writing up these notes. I was just thinking about how many tiny pieces of the piazza are spread

telling where throughout the globe, which is due to the and oddly shocking thought to me. Fortunately, a mould of the Peter had also been made before this attack happened and using. The remaining missing pieces were recruited and replace. So after ten months of research and restoration surrender, it took five months just to do the cataloguing and then roughly another five to do the the actual re assembly The sculpture that it made me go. Angelo famous was back on display for public viewing, though, once again, had been at the world's fear, it was placed behind protective bullet proof, glass, and it still is, as more Laszlo taught his various patchy and sad at the time of the attack. He was a former geologists unemployed at the time of the incident and deemed three mentally unstable. He claimed, as he shouted during the assault on

Peter to be Jesus, Christ and sometimes Michelangelo, and I want to clarify that my what is wrong with you is about non disturbed people who take pieces of a century old piece of our home with them. Yeah. That was what I presume do. I just wanted to make sure, because I know somebody's gonna write us than email about it and allow the tourists who took pieces of it home. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. I like I said I had just imagine how many tiny pieces are spread throughout the world and they should be back with statue bet. You're tops story is continues to be sad, Lears prior to this vital outburst. He had moved from Hungary to Australia, although he did not speak in English. His degree as geologists was not recognised in Australia and so he ended up having to work factory jobs. He did in fact the union eyes, some of those jobs and any worked on that until he was in a violent fight in nineteen sixty seven and in that fight he fractured is

all he vanished for some time after that injury, and then he would turn up in familiar spots, though only briefly before venturing to ITALY in thanking seventy two and it sounds like the people that knew him found. To be very different when he he reappeared than he had been. Prior to that injury, no criminal charges were ever filed against him. He was and sets instead sent to us. I can attribute petition for two years when he was released in nineteen. Seventy five. He was deported back to Australia. His story goes cold. After that its inspired various creative works. There are certainly corners of the internet where tall tales of sightings and theories about his life. After he left, Europe just abound, but it appears

the tough all but vanished. Once you got back to Australia gear, we just there is like no thread of what happened to him after that's troubling, on a variety of levels. So we don't know if he could still be alive if he you know when, on the lead, a completely different life, if he lived the life of anonymity, we just have no idea. Yet always seemed to me breathing about this, because We just have no idea that it always seemed to me breeding about this, because I remember I mean I was born in the very early seventies. So I remember this was an event. There was talked about a lot in my family. My mother cited a family to highly is very devout. Romania

perpetrator ended. They never had answers, but now that I have done a lot about research, it appears no one has answers and it always seem sort of cruel that when he got out of a mental institution he was deported and there was no further chair or concern about his treatments, but yes, it. We dont now What we do know is that legal age was Peter is still currently on display in Saint Peters, Basilica in Rome. I, u can go visit it and if you can't go visit it in person like I said there is a future virtual tour that you can visit online and zoom in and see it fairly. Close there's also been a number of just spectacular photographs taken of it over the year, so it is easy to to look at and examined and appreciate the incredible work for yourself. It's.

One of those pieces of sculpture that when you hear people talk about it, even people that are not religious speak about it in incredible, having just an incredible sense of a sort of other worldly experience, because it is so just indescribably, beautiful and sort of moving. So it's a piece. I rather think it's gorgeous, loves tack battle what sort of moving. So it's a piece. I love advocates gorgeous love have fun, let's their mail. This one comes from our listener Joshua the soil regime. How we thank you for your work on stuff. You missed in history enjoyed it for a couple of years and dived into the archives in search of little treasures. I just listen to the mind disaster, pursued in which someone lamented about how most requests are about wars of disasters. That was me yet. Let us Tracy.

Was. It may be more bit fascination, but some of it- and I speak for myself Here- is also a look back on what we survived and when humanity has shown its best. Even in the mind is asked her. The countryside of two countries showed up to health. Also, those who do not learn the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them. Besides, I also use the little gem of knowledge gleaned from your show to win the battle in supervising, so he says, bring on the shipwrecks the disasters, the wars and accidents bring on the plagues, the disappearances, the mythology and the crimes, because in each of those we see many stand to make something wrong something right. But what was really interesting is that we also got a parcel with this letter, and this is a thank you for all you ve done for free. For me, I give you something to enjoy for yourself in a few friends. I call it the hand heavy the mid verse, and it is this ingenious and wondrous thing, which is a little sort of pocket with a cough on it. So you and you and your beloved can hold hands in the winter and nobody

hold hands. You could, if it's two hands together and that way everybody's got warmth. This idea so cute we'll take it out you care and hug you dot com and his mother who works it eulogies studio made the prototype, and now he produces an island. So cute. We also got some really beautiful postcards, which I won't reed, but I'm gonna put them our social feed, so people can see them from yeah we got a beautiful one from Canada, and another lovely went from. I think it is Lindy aid at Lindy. I think it's a windy and I'm sorry once again a case where she probably wrote it very legibly, but the postal service has bookmarks over it, and this is a postscript from Cape town. So thank you for all of our listeners. That sentence wonderful something's, I'm totally using my hand, hoagie, that's for sure, and I wanted to mention he just talked about how this came about.

Because it's considered like a pocket for lovers, but when I was sharing it with Julie Douglas who works here with us, her first thought was that her little girl would love it because little kids like the holding of their parents, but it's called out and they no one called him. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Few Joshua really appreciated as those Tracy. So, if you would like to write to us, you can do that. We are in history. Plant Casta has to look at our com were also states. Look that complex In history, at missed in history, Hendricks dot com, slash written history, missed in history, a tumblr com, IRAN Instagram innocent History- if you would like to visitors? You can do so at least in history that car we have an archive of every episode of the show that has ever happened.
