Último hilo del ciclo temático #DibujArtes en el que hablamos del #dibujo para el #TwitterCultural.

El dibujo es la base de la historia del arte. Todo comienza con un dibujo: #pintura, #escultura, #arquitectura...

Veamos varios ejemplos, como estas manos de #Durero.

Sigue⬇️ Alberto Durero. Manos rezan...
Estas "manos orando" fueron dibujadas con tinta negra y blaco de plomo, sobre papel azul. Las podéis ver en el Museo "Graphische Sammlung Albertina", #Viena (#Austria).

Y es que las manos son como la cara: el espejo del alma. Retratar las manos es retratar la persona.

Aquí encontramos un magnífico o ejemplo de técnica magistral del dibujo a tinta potenciado con blanco, a dos colores, que con el papel de color medio, completa a la perfección la imagen. ¿Qué secreto esconden? ¿De quién son? Es un secreto perdido en el tiempo.

9 reassuring Stoic lessons on death 💀

Epictetus:
1. Neither death nor pain is to be feared, but the fear of pain or death

2. The poor body must be separated from the spirit as it was before, either now or later. Why then are you troubled if it be now? For if not now, later
Seneca:
3. We must make ready for death before making ready for life

4. Death would be a thing to dread if it could stay. But it either doesn’t come, or comes & is gone

5. What matters is not how long you live, but how well; & often living well means that you cannot live long
6. There are no ills to be suffered after death, reports that make the underworld terrible to us are mere tales

7. Let us order our minds as if we had come to the end. Let us postpone nothing. Let us balance life’s account every day.

Uno de los cuadros más interesantes del Museo del Prado en lo que se refiere a los universos #vanitas y #mementomori es "Las edades y la muerte", de Hans Baldung Grien (1541-44). Vamos a ver sus detalles
La muerte como frío y cruel recordatorio que empaña el aquí y el hora de la juventud, la belleza, el amor o el éxito es un tema recurrente en Grien, ya visto en su insistente "La muerte y la doncella", en versiones como estas, (1510, 1517, 1520) o en otra de 1529 con un caballero
No es, en la versión del Prado, la primera vez que la muerte y la doncella se ven acompañadas de la vejez. En el mal titulado "Los dos amantes y la muerte" (1509-11) ya vemos a una mujer mayor como advertencia presente

"Memento mori. Lembre-se da morte. Até para os que detêm grande poder, a vida é breve. Só existe um modo de triunfar sobre a morte: tornando nossa vida uma grande obra prima. Devemos aproveitar cada oportunidade de demonstrar gentileza e amar plenamente.
Vejo em seus olhos que você tem a alma generosa de sua mãe. Sua consciência será sua guia. Quando a vida estiver escura, deixe seu coração mostrar o caminho.''
Apenas o fato de "lembrar-se da morte" pode ser angustiante e causar tremenda ansiedade, pode até mesmo nos jogar para baixo. Porém, diante da incerteza do mundo e a confrontação, a cada momento, com a Finitude, todos nós temos de lembrar que nada, nem ninguém é eterno.

You will never be as cool as a Tokyo firefighter in the middle of the 19th century wearing this cotton hanten. Doused in water when going out to fight the blaze, then turned inside out for the (victorious) return journey. #MementoMori
On the back is the ghost of Taira no Tomomori (1152-1185), a famous samurai naval commander who atoned for losing his last battle by tying his feet with an anchor and jumping into the ocean. Youthful bravado perhaps, but it takes a lot of commitment to one's job to wear this.
1713 illustration of Edo/Tokyo firefighters. The large white tasseled standards (纏, matoi) where to signal an active fire. These would be stationed on top of nearby roofs and the tassels would indicate the prevailing wind directions. Each unit had their own distinctive matoi.
