BIOGRAFIA RESUMIDA DE RENE MAGRITTE (1898/11/21 - 1967/08/15)

René Magritte nació el 21 de noviembre de 1898 en Lessines, Bélgica. Hijo de Léopold Magritte y Regina Bertinchamps.

En 1910 su familia se trasladó a Chatlet, donde asistió a un curso de pintura. Cuando contaba catorce años, su madre se suicidó, arrojándose al Sambre.

Cursó estudios en la Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts, Bruselas. En 1922 contrajo matrimonio con Georgette Berger, una amiga de su juventud, quien le sirve de modelo.

Expuso individualmente por primera vez en 1927, en Bruselas. Para entonces había ya empezado a pintar en un estilo cercano al surrealismo, que predominó a lo largo de su larga carrera. Diestro y meticuloso en su técnica, es notable por obras que contienen una gran yuxtaposición de objetos comunes en contextos poco corrientes dando así un significado nuevo a las cosas familiares. Esta yuxtaposición se denomina con frecuencia realismo mágico, del que Magritte es el principal exponente artístico.

Buena muestra de su magnífico hacer es el cuadro La llave de los campos (1936, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza de Madrid), expresión francesa que sugiere la liberación de cualquier restricción mental o física. Además exhibía un ingenio mordaz, creando versiones surrealistas de obras famosas, como en su lienzo Madame Récamier de David (1949, colección privada), en la que el famoso retrato de Jacques-Louis David es parodiado, al substituir a la mujer por un elaborado ataúd.

René Magritte falleció en Bruselas el 15 de agosto de 1967.

I’m not as happy with this as the Keelin one, but it’s something. I couldn’t mix the colours of the actual gif because it kept freezing and getting corrupt. One day I’ll make a pure red Vlad moodboard ~

Also I gave him a yellow eye in the board even though this one is more focused on his normal form than his vampire form. OH WELL!

Well. That only took two months.

Subbing notes

One day I’m going to meet the writers of this show, and when I do I’m going to hit them over the head with a Latin dictionary.

You can probably spot exactly where I gave up on trying to turn their spells into anything comprehensible and just went with whatever sounded kind of like what they were saying. No Dutch subtitles exist for this movie (another major oversight for far more important reasons than just my attempts at subbing), so I had nothing to fall back on.

I made a very earnest effort to write out every instance of 77 as seventy-seven and then had to give up on it because the full word took up too much space.

Most of Nemezza’s lines are in rhyme. In order to keep that rhyme, I’ve opted for a less literal translation. I believe I was able to maintain the original meaning for the most part.

I unfortunately wasn’t able to translate the bloopers. I tried, but too many of them rely on mispronunciations that don’t make any sense in a language that isn’t Dutch. It’s a pity, because they are hilarious.

Movie notes

I first saw this movie in theatres and was tempted to get out a notebook and take notes while watching. The movie’s greatest value (to me personally, as a dedicated fanfic writer) is the lore it provides. It gives us more info on the previous Night Watch, on the structure of the Council and in particular on Vlad’s backstory.

(Fun fact, Vlad’s father is played by Peter Thyssen, Louis Thyssen’s real-life father.)

As an actual movie, it’s… okay. It’s enjoyable, there are no major glaring plot holes and the character bits are quite good. I’ve always enjoyed Nachtwacht more for its characters than for its plots and the movie is no exception. Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded if they dwelled a lot longer on the interpersonal relationships. Is it any wonder that (spoilers!) the scene where Wilko and Keelin quit in protest of Vlad’s dismissal is my favourite scene in the entire movie?

It doesn’t quite measure up to some of the show’s best episodes, but it’s certainly far from the worst this show has ever put out.

The new characters introduced are a mixed bunch. On the villain front, Nemezza is your typical villain, complete with obligatory eternal darkness. Renvie is… there.

On the hero front, Vlad’s father is enjoyable if only for the in-joke potential he brings. His motivations are easy to sympathise with, even if they are ultimately borne from underestimating just how capable Vlad is.

Gideon… I want to like Gideon, I really do. He certainly had some character development throughout the movie. However, I fear that I’ve never quite forgiven him for his way of introducing himself (and the blame the writing puts on Wilko for attacking him, even when he’s just knocked Cooper unconscious).

And then there’s Juno. Vega says Keelin ‘reminds [him] so much of her’ and it’s no wonder because they are exactly the fucking same. The movie makes no distinction between elves and fae: they are both magic users, their personalities are near-identical, they both serve the exact same function within their respective groups… This show’s treatment of Keelin has been a thorn in my side for a while now. When they can’t even bother to make her any different from the Obligatory Girl in the previous Watch, I’m taking issue. Get your act together.

And last and kind of least, the president is also… there. Participation trophy, I guess.

With that episode of Heleen Salts ™ out of the way, some miscellaneous observations:

- You better believe I’ll be using the telepathy they introduced in this movie in everything I ever write from now on.

- Helena plays Cooper like a fiddle and it is glorious. OTP right there.

- Cooper and Wilko continue to have one of my favourite character dynamics in this entire series.

- Keelin, my darling, my dear, when someone gets knocked unconscious by white magic they aren’t any less unconscious than if it had been black magic. Sometimes intentions don’t matter nearly as much as outcomes. (Also don't trust random voices in your head. I can’t believe I have to say that.)

- How is it that they can’t transform when they are in Nemezza’s castle? If magic doesn’t work there, the opposite should be true; their human forms are essentially a glamour and their monster forms are the ‘real’ them.

- The scene where everyone leaves still breaks my heart every time I watch it. In general, the trio are at their best when they’re together.

Seriously, for all my complaining, it’s a fun movie. Watch it for the characters if nothing else.

Martin Schaffner (b.1478-d.1548), 'Portrait of a Man, possibly Sebastian Gessler', oil on panel, c.1515, German, currently in the collection of the Museo Nacional Thyssen Bornemisza, Madrid, Spain.

Martin Schaffner, an artist associated with the city of Ulm, developed a style that combined late Gothic formulas with Renaissance elements. Little is known of his early years and the date of his birth is known from an annotation by the artist on one of his drawings. In 1496 he is documented in the workshop of Jörg Stocker in Ulm, and around 1500 in Augsburg where he trained with Hans Holbein the Elder. Most of Schaffner’s oeuvre comprised altarpieces and he was significantly affected by the Reformation. Like many other artists, this situation led him to rethink his output and he subsequently placed greater emphasis on portraiture. This small panel was in the collection of Count Josef von Rechberg and is then recorded in the collection of Prince Oettingen-Wallerstein where it appears in two inventories of 1817/1818 and 1819, described as by the school of Schaffner. In 1828 it was in the castle in Nuremberg in the possession of Louis I of Bavaria. In 1911 it was in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich and in 1929 in Berlin with the Hugo Perls gallery. It was acquired that year for the Rohoncz collection. This person was identified in early catalogues of the Collection from 1930 onwards as the mathematician Peter Appianus, with a question mark after the name. It seems that this name was assigned without any documentary basis, and therefore in 1969 Christian Salm published it simply as Portrait of a Man. The Thyssen painting appears to be the companion piece to the Portrait of a Lady in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, whom the historian Jens Kremb has identified as Katharina Gessler (née Gienger) and, accordingly, the subject of this painting as her first husband Sebastian Gessler. The coat-of-arms in blue and white on the sitter’s right index finger remains unidentified but both his appearance and clothing suggest a member of the aristocracy or wealthy bourgeoisie. The figure is depicted in slightly more than threequarters profile against a graduated green-blue background which is almost black at the upper edge. The head is strikingly pale in tonality, allowing the artist to create a face with precisely modeled details but without an excess of detail, clearly defining the outline of the nose and the wide, thin-lipped mouth. Areas of underdrawing are evident to the naked eye in zones such as the left side of the forehead, the eye sockets and the neck. The sitter is plainly dressed apart from the broad fur collar of the coat while he wears a type of hat fashionable in the early 16th century. With regard to its date, this oil on panel has been compared to two others: Count Wolfgang I von Oettingen in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, of 1508, which is the earliest portrait attributed to Schaffner, and another of 1516 of Eitel Besserer, a member of a patrician family in Ulm, now in the Museum in Ulm. Lübbeke considered the present work to be closer to the portrait of Besserer and to a group of panels with scenes of the Passion in the Staatsgalerie in Augsburg. - Mar Borobia (x)
