( cheryl )

[ 📱 — SMS : VERONICA ] : I’m fine, veronica.

Cheryl’s immediate response felt almost mechanical, like a reflexive lie that she depended on to survive, ingrained into the very sinew of her musculature and the marrow of her bones, just as absolutely as her subconscious. The dinner party the evening before the memorial, ensconced in the opulence of the Blossom clan’s banquet hall and winter salon, had been just as painful as the event proceeding it ———- a moment too out of the ordinary, a torturous depletion of the time she’d been biding before the inevitable eventually came, lessened afraction by the attendance of the only soul at Riverdale High Cheryl could evenconsider worth befriending.

( In any other universe, where death hadn’t followed her like blood trailing Thornhill’s grand staircase and she didn’t still feel Penelope Blossom’s finger prints blooming beneath her blouse sleeves, she might even have craved it. )

[ 📱 — SMS : VERONICA ] : and just between you and I… having you here with us would have meant the world to jayjay [ 📱 — SMS : VERONICA ] : but don’t for a second think my viper-like caregivers will see your altruism as anything but subterfuge.

She decided against pushing her for anything less general. Cheryl was one of the most - if not the most - stubborn people she’d ever met. She couldn’t imagine that giving her a better answer.

[ 📱 — SMS : CHERYL ] : it’s a pity i never got to meet him

It was clear that the two had been close and maybe if she had gotten the chance he could’ve helped her understand his sister more. Cheryl didn’t make it easy for others to get to know her. If it wasn’t for her timing and own history with the mean girl facade she would be as ignorant as everyone else.

[ 📱 — SMS : CHERYL ] : i don’t care what your parents think, cheryl

The only adults who’s opinions Veronica cared for were the ones of her own flesh and blood, the ones of the rest only affected her if there was anything for her to gain and that was almost never the case. Despite how influential she could make an educated guess about the Blossoms being, she couldn’t find it in her to try to play nice. Not after what she’d witnessed whilst staying with them.

[ 📱 — SMS : CHERYL ] : we should do it again sometime [ 📱 — SMS : CHERYL ] : maybe at the pembroke

The chances of the night ending in bloodshed seemed infinitely smaller with the change of scenery in mind.

[a-baroque-interlude]

I am being forced by Morgan to post this

14/10/2019 - Tasting Rubens

Eau de Rubens has surface notes of sweet peach and rose, a feminine prelude that gives way to dynamic bursts of tonka bean and spiced cinnamon, held in a cradle of dark Merlot grape. As you stare, notes of bergamot and seductive jasmine give way to a magnetic, lingering heartbeat of cardamom and amber.

Our poorly constructed step-ladder spines are very much not designed to look up; we’ll cast our eyes heavenward to momentarily check the weather, to glance at a chandelier, to remark on neoclassical moulding, but extended gazing at a Baroque ceiling painting feels like a chore. It’s hardly easy for the artist, either — I often think of poor Sir James Thornhill, martyr, painter of the Painted Hall ceiling. Pain-ter. Up a huge ladder for twenty years. Rubens didn’t bother with craning his neck or lying backwards on a ladder for the Banqueting Hall ceiling — he was far too busy getting knee-deep in the canon. The Banqueting Hall was built and served to house the Elizabethan indulgences of masques; yet as the new, wonderful ceiling paintings were put up, so ceased the masques. The soot from the candles would have damaged the paint. As I lay back on the floor of the Banqueting House à la a relaxed Mr Thornhill, the spiralling symposium of Rubens above tasted to me like ozone, like collected soot, like the rising hot air from the hundreds of tourists that pass through, breath that has the luxury of curling up alongside the work. The conservators of the Painted Hall’s ceiling have only just finished up meticulously scraping away of this airborne life detritus, removing all evidence of unworthy humanity from the Elysian oil scenes.

Samson and Deliah, The Assumption, The Garden of Love, all these carry the antique-varnished, greyed ash smell of old Baroque art with those pitch shadows. And while looking at Samson and Delilah makes me wrinkle my nose and grimace at the sheer grotesque mass of it, the work doesn’t to me stink of human bodies and sex, as the narrative would have you imagine. The wooden interior (mahogany?) and the heavy indigo curtain is humid, moisture-soaked as cold wood in hot rooms often is. It smells like the face-powder actors wear, like hyper-sweet musky perfume that smells complex on the first spray, but leaves only a lingering stain of synthetic vanilla bean, that sticks to your clothes and coats.

Poetry gives the visuals of art with the added treasures of words, clustered together, eternal yet anxiously transient. Literature — an art owned by all, tangible and consumable to the lower classes, eaten page-by-page. Music, universal. When paintings collect politics like layers of cemented varnish, music can be shook of its historical dust like a rug and whittled down to its original beauty within seconds. But do any of these delights engulf the senses as much as painting? Rubens’s Honeysuckle Bower is a plate on which is served the intoxicating sugar-sweet trappings of the honeysuckle, the feel of the dark and rooty grass on which the couple stand, the barely-caught giggle of Isabella Brant. Her smile is eternally on a verge. It is forever dusk. The honeysuckle is forever blooming. Even my presence, my hot breath and greedy, starving stare feels like soot on the paint, dirtying up the fresh fabrics and detracting from the love, licking all the perfume from this preserved moment.

Banquet Hall Thornhill & Wedding Venue Woodbridge

Up on the Roof

One of the great things about living in Greenwich is the opportunity to get closer to the work of the Royal Museums Greenwich and of the other venues along the river.  A few weeks ago I did just that by joining a scaffolding tour to inspect the mural on the ceiling of the Painted Hall, which forms part of the former Greenwich Hospital. The mural, which is currently being cleaned, was painted by James Thornhill between 1707 and 1726. It was originally commissioned by Queen Anne to celebrate the reign of William and Mary and was extended to mark the accession of George I.  As such, it complements Rubens’ earlier portrayal of Anne’s great-grandfather, James I, in the Banqueting Hall.

From ground level the Greenwich mural has all the baroque drama, movement and emotion of its counterpart. But having climbed the 67 steps to the viewing platform, the viewer is confronted by a murk y surface that is the colour of Brown Windsor soup. This analogy is in fact not entirely far-fetched since one of the cleaners’ first tasks will be to remove the gravy that was splashed by students when the hall was used as a dining room by the Old Royal Naval College.

Earlier this year I gave a series of talks about the restoration of London after the Great Fire. Hence what struck me on my visit were the links between the mural and the churches that were built between 1670 and 1720. The most obvious link is to Thornhill  who was commissioned to paint  the murals in the dome of the cathedral afteran influential bishop had declared himself ignorant of art but determined to appoint ‘an Englishman and a Protestant’. Another important contributor was Henry Dogood who was responsible for the ornate plasterwork of the ceiling and for a similar commission at Wren’s St Mary Aldermary. Yet, perhaps, the most intriguing comparison is the resemblance of one of the female figures on the ceiling to a shallow relief on the exterior of St Mary Woolnoth.  This similarity seems to confirm that both figures represent the Thames. However, its pairing with Mercury at St Mary Woolnoth is unusual since his companion is usually Minerva, the Goddess of Wisdom. 

Perhaps the architect, Nicholas Hawksmoor, wanted to refer to the increasing importance of trade on the river after a generation that had seen the doubling of the navy, the founding of the Bank of England and the establishment of Lloyds. If so, he may also have wanted to have a sly dig at the merchants and bankers since Mercury is not only associated with communications and commerce but is ‘the patron of thieves’.  

Hawksmoor’s long association with Greenwich began with his work on the Hospital in about 1696. It lasted until 1725 when Colen Campbell, the Whig architect and author of the Vitruvius Britannicus, was appointed as Surveyor of Greenwich. The biographer Owen Hopkins has described how Hawksmoor’s exuberant version of baroque fell out of fashion and was replaced by the more harmonious and symmetrical language of Palladianism and neo-Classicism. Greenwich is one of the best places to view Hawksmoor’s work. In his design for the King William block at the hospital one can see his first experiments with dramatic changes of scale. He almost separates the two wings of the building from the centre and then reintegrates them into the whole through a use of strong vertical and horizontal elements. At St Alfege’s, Hawksmoor’s monumental approach seems even more pronounced, as does his creation of chiaroscuro effects through projecting and setting back different elements of the façade. If Hopkins is right then St Alfege’s may be an early example of Hawksmoor’s use of metaphor and quotation. For, as at St Paul’s, there may be a reference to primitive Christian altars in the use of decorative plinths outside the church.

The work of Wren and Hawksmoor in making Greenwich a majestic point of entrance to the city created what Engels called in 1845 ‘a view….so vast, so impressive that a man cannot collect himself but is lost in the marvel of England’s greatness before he sets foot on English soil’. Yet at the very moment that Engels was writing Greenwich and in particular its annual fair were acquiring a reputation for drunkenness and behaviour that were quite unlike that of the genteel western suburbs of Richmond, Twickenham and Chiswick.  

Today the view from the hill above the Royal Observatory is dominated by Canary Wharf, which has become synonymous with London’s wealth. Just as the  Observatory’s  discoveries helped to inspire the beginning of trade with the Pacific, so too did its association with Greenwich Mean Time help to affirm  London’s importance  in relation to the financial centres of New York and the Far East.

Interestingly enough, Thornhill represented two non-royals in his mural in addition to himself. One was the astronomer John Flamsteed whose prediction of an eclipse in 1715 was included in the mural a year before the event. The other was an old naval veteran from the Hospital who was allegedly often drunken whom the artist represented as Winter. Fittingly enough, Thornhill shows him warming himself at a fire in what is surely one of the most important allegories of Britain’s first commercial empire .
