kent monkman -- "welcoming the newcomers" [from the diptych" "mistikôsiwak (wooden boat people)"] (2019)

"history is a narrative; it's a collection of stories sanctioned by the ruling power, and reinforced through words and images that suit them. that was the whole point of taking on history painting: to authorize these moments that have been swept under the rug for generations" … kent monkman

"i use the vocabulary of painting. that’s my chosen language. it’s something that’s accessible to everybody. the elderly, the young, people of whatever cultural background — they can all read a representational image" … kent monkman

"that 'representational' is significant. after an early career learning about the properties of paint via attempts at abstract art, monkman gradually went in the opposite direction. he had an epiphany in 2011 at the prado in madrid, where a canvas by antonio gisbert awakened him to the lost art of history painting. acutely conscious of how the indigenous story had been distorted and outright ignored by settler artists in north america, he then set about correcting that erasure via a subversive engagement with that fundamentally flawed history" … ian mcgillis

Liuva I

Artist: Antonio Gisbert Perez (Spanish, 1834-1902)

Date: 1855

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain

Description

In 1847, José de Madrazo , as director of the Royal Museum, planned to create as a section within the same a vast royal iconotheque that would cover the entire history of the Spanish Monarchy, which was finally captured in a Royal Order signed by Isabel II on 1 December 1847. The project, in addition to the desire to recover the national historical past, had an evident political sense of legitimizing the rights of the sovereign, in a period characterized by an incessant struggle against female power. In addition to choosing from the portraits that already existed in the different Palaces and Royal Sites, a considerable number of contemporary artists were involved in the execution of the commission, both recognized and new, but almost all associated with the protective circle of José de Madrazo .

This portrait, commissioned from Antonio Gisbert Pérez , depicts Liuva I, Gothic king of Spain (who succeeded Atanagild and preceded Leovigild He is depicted standing, in profile, with his face turned towards the viewer. He wears a white tunic and a crimson cloak and rests his hand on a long sceptre. Liuva I , who reigned from 567 to 572, succeeded Atanagild , and before being proclaimed king in the city of Nabona, had been Doge of Septimania . In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, he associated with the throne his brother and successor Leovigild , Doge of Toledo , to whom he delegated the government of Hispania while reserving for himself that of Gaul.

You know, I have my issues with MercurySteam and Hideo Kojima. Especially how they do feminine characters. But, I will praise them especially for how they went about redesigning Gabriel into Dracula. They were planning on doing vastly different designs for him. Examples below, (ignore how bad my camera on my phone is)

Or even these

Before they decided that no, they wouldn't change Gabriel that much. The quote from the book states "Dracula, after all he's Gabriel but a bit different," explains Alvarez. "So sure, designing Dracula was a complicated task - we did a lot of tests. But at the end we realized that we wanted to stay close to Gabriel. First because people that love the first game want to keep playing with the same character. And second because this way we can make an easy connection between Lords of Shadow 2 and the first game. Players will have the nice feeling that they keep playing Gabriel, but with the twist."

So yeah. They kept their fans in mind when redesigning Gabriel into Dracula, and it shows with the model in game and the final sketches. Also Ayami Kojima is an amazing artist, and her work in the main series of Castlevania was absolutely wonderful. But, let me introduce you to the artists of Lords of Shadow: Jose Luis Vaello, Diego Gisbert Llorens, Jorge Benedito, Carlos NCT, Juan Antonio Alcázar. These men brought the visuals of these games to life, and they deserve praise for the phenomenal work they did in this game.

"torrijos, was a spanish liberal soldier and politician remembered above all for his bitter fight against the absolutism that ferdinand vii of spain wanted to impose, which cost torrijos prison and exile" … wikipedia

"on december 2, 1831, together with sixty of his closest associates, he landed on the beaches of malaga from gibraltar. there he was betrayed by governor vicente gonzález moreno, who had promised him his support, and they were captured by absolutist troops. eight days later, on december 11 and without trial, torrijos was shot along with forty-eight of his companions on the beaches of malaga" … wikipedia

"in the painting, the prisoners are lined up with their hands tied, while some friars are busy blindfolding them and trying to offer the condemned one last consolation. behind them the firing squad awaits orders, while in the foreground, on the ground, some men lie already dead in a clearly goyesque detail" … wikipedia

The Execution of Torrijos and his Companions on the Beach at Málaga (Spanish: Fusilamiento de Torrijos y sus compañeros en las playas de Málaga) is a painting by Antonio Gisbert Pérez.

It is considered one of the finest pieces of Spanish history painting from the 19th century.

Commissioned by Prime Minister Práxedes Mateo Sagasta in 1886, Gisbert completed in 1888. It has been used as vehicle for conveying the Spanish nation building from a perspective of the defense of Liberty.

On 11 December 1831, following direct orders from Ferdinand VII and without any sort of trial, José María Torrijos was executed on the beach of Málaga, together with other companions, including both military and civilians. The painting depicts the scene.

Today, it is displayed in Madrid's Museo del Prado.
