Rogier Van Der Weyden - The Lamentation of Christ (ca. 1460-64)

.

L'artista fiammingo Van der Weyden dipinse ad olio, e questo gli permise di curare i minimi dettagli. Questa pala d'altare mostra Maria inginocchiata accanto al figlio morto in lutto. I suoi discepoli guardano sgomenti, lasciando che le loro lacrime scorrano liberamente. Le forti emozioni avevano lo scopo di suscitare la simpatia dei fedeli.

Il vescovo inginocchiato nelle sue vesti da cerimonia non c'entra niente con il resto della compagnia. E' presente semplicemente in quanto è colui che ha commissionato questa pala d'altare.

Sylvia Plath - Sculptor
Dedicated by the Author to Artist Leonard Baskin

To his house the bodiless
Come to barter endlessly
Vision, wisdom, for bodies
Palpable as his, weighty.

Hands moving more priestlier
Than Priest’s hands, invoke no vain
images of light and air
But sure stations in bronze, wood, stone.

Obdurate, in dense-grained wood,
A bald angel blocks and shapes
The flimsy light; arms folded
Watches his cumbrous world eclipse

Inane worlds of wind and cloud.
Bronze dead dominate the floor,
Restive, ruddy-bodied,
Dwarfing us. Our bodies flicker

Toward extinction in those eyes
Which, without him, were beggared
Of place, time and their bodies.
Emulous spirits make discord,

Try entry, enter nightmares
Until his chisel bequeaths
Them life livelier than ours,
A soldier repose than death’s.

I nostri corpi sfarfallio
verso l'estinzione
