"Squaring: Exploring the Divine and Human Dimensions in Art" In this captivating collection of artworks, we delve into the concept of "squaring" - a technique used by artists to create preparatory studies and capture various aspects of life. From religious narratives to everyday scenes, these pieces offer glimpses into different dimensions. The Life of Christ unfolds before our eyes as we witness pivotal moments such as the Last Judgement and Christ rising Lazarus from the Dead. Through intricate tapestry cartoons for the Church Saint-Merri in Paris, created between 1585-90, these drawings in pierre noire & wash with white highlights on paper transport us back to a time when faith was at its core. Jules Elie Delaunay takes us on an extraordinary journey with his depiction of The Torment of Ixion. Painted in 1876, this artwork explores themes of punishment and suffering, inviting viewers to contemplate their own actions and consequences. Moving away from grand narratives, we encounter snapshots from daily life. A black-and-white photo captures slate workers engrossed in their craft - a testament to human labor and skill that often goes unnoticed but is essential for building our world. Traveling across continents, an engraving titled "With the Behar Light Horse, Bengal, India" transports us to colonial times. It offers a glimpse into military life while raising questions about power dynamics and cultural exchange during that era. Captain W. Fairfax's figure study for the painting Victory of Lord Duncan showcases meticulous black chalk strokes capturing strength and determination—a tribute to heroic figures who shape history through their bravery. The Balcony comes alive through an oil sketch revealing intimate moments shared behind closed doors—an exploration of human connection amidst societal constraints. From skilled craftsmen like Stone Masons immortalized in 1827 sketches to detailed pen ink drawings depicting grottos under terraces—these works celebrate human ingenuity and the beauty found in everyday surroundings.
