Lara Cory  escapeintolife.com ....      As the viewer digs a little deeper, a better understanding of de Medici’s concerns with power and control through violence become apparent. Her art and her message is accessible. You don’t need an explanation to enjoy and appreciate the visually enticing guns and skulls, and yet you still sense the beguiling paradox of her work.The artist’s style and subject matter seem to perfectly encapsulate her intention and her expression. Her art reflects the precision of natural history illustration, from which she draws her influence, as well as from her experience as tattooist. The subject matter and technique are forged together in a highly original context. De Medici explains in an interview that her penchant for working in miniature is due to the patience and skill she learned during her years as a tattooist. According to de Medici,  tattoos are emblems that people choose to represent their ideas. The imagery of guns and skulls therefore arises from this symbolic approach to meaning. The gun is the weapon of ultimate power and the skull is the result of that power. An exquisite and gentle moth pelt disguises and also magnifies the awareness of extinction and the abuse of power. (Remember that de Medici volunteered at CSIRO, assisting with the classification of rare moth species.) De Medici’s “impossible guns” with triggers made up of the microscopic filaments of moth hide are emblems of defenseless beauty and destruction. The echoes of natural history illustration in her work, invites connections to humanity, biology and life as art. De Medici’s guns and skulls are also reminders of the end of life, violence, and the ravaging of the natural world.The colors that the artist uses to convey her meaning are not randomly selected. They combine variations of the wing pattern of the Tortricidae superfamily of Microlepidoptera—a very small species of moth, found in the Asia Pacific region—flashes of the British and US flags; colonial drawings of the crash of the flagship of the First Fleet, the shipwrecked Sirius on the Norfolk Island reef; the Mobil horse, the BHP logo, Monsanto, Blackwater and numerous other colors loaded with meaning.And so, the imagery and materials of de Medici’s guns and skulls combine to form an aggregate of associations, ideas and influences. She fuses the organic, vulnerable, biological characteristics of the moth and the skull with the artificial, man-made gun and notions of power. She explores a range of antithetical insights, from the resplendent pelts of extinct moths to the hard, cold fact of weaponry. The artist transforms the ugliness and cruelty of violence by showing us the final, irreversible result of that violence in beguiling beauty.

The Dream of Saint Joseph

Artist: Philippe de Champaigne (French, 1602-1674)

Date: 1642-1643

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: The National Gallery, London

Description

According to the Gospel of Matthew, an angel appears to the Virgin Mary’s husband, Joseph, in a dream. Champaigne shows the angel gesturing towards both heaven and the Virgin Mary, confirming that Christ has been conceived through the Holy Ghost. Kneeling in front of an open Bible, Mary glances towards the angel, her arms crossed over her chest.

Biblical Narrative | Matthew 1:20-25, NIV

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).

When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

13 days of witches: the witch-poisoner, La Voison

"...let me have / A dram of poison, such soon-speeding gear / As will disperse itself through all the veins / That the life-weary taker may fall dead." — William Shakespeare

Louis XIV, "the Sun King," is in his ascendancy, while the aristocracy continues to revel, Icarus-like, in their dwindling power. Against the background of their contest, Catherine Deshayes, "La Voison," merchant, midwife, and fortune teller, reaches the zenith of her own, less official, influence. Rising from humble beginnings, she has become wealthy and powerful providing her services to the dissolute upper class as a sorceress and poisoner. Now her vast network of agents, allies, and clients spans the breadth of society-- including, perhaps, the king's own mistress. At the hands of La Voison or those of her many underlings, inconvenient relatives are dispensed with; love potions find their way into the cups of unwitting suitors; arcane sorceries are worked at unholy masses; an attempt is made even on the life of the king himself. Eventually the reach of the poisoner-witch extends too far, and the Sun King's agents seek her out. But even the arrest and execution of La Voison herself is not enough to stamp out her ring of crime; her allies are myriad and in low places, and while many are caught, more escape through their inconsequence; the grandiose status of her customers, however, proves too much even for the king, and the case of the Affair of Poisons is officially closed to avoid bringing unbearable scandal down on the nation.
