Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 18: March 1923 The second panel shows three knights, similarly clad, hewing bushes or young trees with swords and hatchets. The middle knight wears a rose-lavender colored hauberk, with white chain mail on his legs. The two side knights are clad in white with ruby hose and ruby belts about their waists. It is to be noticed that the knight on the right has his sword in his ruby scabbard, for, unlike the others, he wields an axe. In other respects the coloring of the panel is like the other, with. A blue background and ruby border, but there appear to be more restored portions. Probably but half of this medallion has its original glass. The trees are stranger than those of the first; rose lavender and pale green, curling and twisting, they resemble the stems of vines. It is even more difficult to tell What these two subjects represent, than to date them. Generally, glass of this period depicts some Bib lical story. They must have been minor parts of a large window, full of medallions, and these tell only part of a story. These knights may represent Christian champions combatting the forces of heathendom, symbolized _as a wilderness of trees; they may themselves be returned Crusaders, the Teutonic Knights, who drove back the un-christian hordes of Northeastern Germany in the thirteenth century.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 20: Published at Memorial Hall, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia; February 1925The wonderful natural resources of the Province of Pennsylvania caused many capable and energetic men among these settlers to attempt the making of iron. There were great ore beds; the thickly wooded country gave endless charcoal, and swiftly flowing streamsprovided water power. Much money was needed, however, as well as intelligence and hope, even for the smallest beginning, and usually, after a few years, the undertaking would either fail or pass into new ownership. Possibly the most noted among these unfortunate men is Henry William Stiegel, who failed after being successful for a number of years. This was not the fate of all, however. Others determined to carry out their early ambitions to become great iron masters, fought their way through many difficulties Until their dreams were realized, and their names, industries and fortunes have been handed down to the present day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 20: October, 1924 Chinese culture in Honan and Shensi, and the presence Of undoubted Six Dynasty cave chapels as well as traditionally T'ang and Sung temples establish the existence in early Kansu Of capable artisans. It is perhaps somewhat fanciful, though extremely tempting, to be lieve that the severely scorched area on the figure's forehead and right cheek happened during the Mohammedan Rebellion of 1870 which devastated Kansu and destroyed the great majority Of the early temples, with all their works Of art, that had survived up to that time. In any case the Museum's bodhisattva was apparently one Of the attendants on either side of an altarpiece, flanking a larger cen tral figure of Amitabha, Maitreya, or Avalokitesvara. The peg pro j ecting from the base (thrust into the-present four-legged stand) was originally fitted into a lotus pedestal and carried either on a side bracket or, more probably, fixed to the main platform Of the altar. Though stylistically later, the form of the figure is very; suggestive Of the attendant bodhisattva on the Tuan Fang'é bronze altarpiece in the Museum Of Fine Arts, Boston.1 Even so, the whole group must have been exceptionally small; this attendant is but nine and a half inches tall, so the central figure could scarcely have exceeded a foot and a half in height, yet with suitably carved back and four or six attendant bodhisattva, guardian knights, kylins, and so forth, it was neverthe less impressive. But the interesting fact is that, while figures as small as this, and far smaller, are familiar enough in bronze, and in stone, as bas-reliefs, in wood they are virtually unknown, no matter what the dynasty may. Be. This is not unnatural, for the likelihood of small wood carvings surviving the effects Of time (and periodic politi cal convulsions) is remote. Further, artists were probably less tempted to use wood for small figures, inasmuch as the results were certain to be less impressive than if the figures were large, no matter how skillful was the craftsmanship. We may suppose, too, that the casters Of bronze fulfilled whatever demand there was for religious figures Of a diminutive size. And lastly, the labour Of laying gesso carefully over the carved surfaces (traces Of this still cling to parts of the Museum's figure) and Of applying the necessary pigment-col ours and gilding would scarcely have been worth the pains taken. We may, therefore, assume that woodcarvers in the main confined them selves to larger pieces, and even Of these extremely few early exam ples have survived.

This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Pennsylvania Museum, Vol. 20: October, 1907 The most far reaching change of this century, the fifteenth, was the intro duction of enamel; this consisted of colored glass ground to a powder; the powder, or pigment as it should be called, was, and is, mixed with fat oil, or with gum and water, to make the particles adhere when the mixture is painted upon the glass. In the kiln the medium is burned away and the ground glass pigment melted, causing it to adhere, more or less firmly to the sheet of glass upon which it is painted. The beautiful diaper patterns note' especially shields in the illustration dated1588 - are done in such enamel. The part to be diapered is covered with matt enamel and fired. A second matt is then spread over the first, and when dry the pattern _is etched with a pointed instrument, even with a needle, so that the result is like the finest lace. Note, too, the clever way the needle is used to give life, by lights and half tones, tothe fur of a bear in one of the glasses (not illustrated), to the fur of the gryphons in the second illustration, also to jewels, to the glisten ing light on armor, etc. In Swiss glass the enamel is so well managed that an exquisite effect, unattainable by other means, is produced. In large windows exposed to the weather and to the effects of time, the enamel is wont to flake off with dis astrous results. The Swiss seem to have avoided this misfortune, whether from the smallness of the subject or the greater skill -of the artist is difficult to determine.
