Walking around on the fortress Oscarsborg,we got so many comments that we resembled a famous norwegian painting, "pikene på broen / girls on bridge" by Edvard Munch.

When a nice guide asked to photograph us, the stars aligned. I wonder if recreating paintings are my new hobby

Art triptychs
Edvard Munch (Norwegian, 1863-1944)
Madonna
1894-1895.
Oil oncanvas (91 x 70.5 cm)
Version from National Gallery of Norway

Werner Hofmann suggests that the painting is a "strange devotional picture glorifying decadent love. The cult of the strong woman who reduces man to subjection gives the figure of woman monumental proportions, but it also makes a demon of her." Sigrun Rafter, an art historian at the Oslo National Gallery, suggests that Munch intended to represent the woman in the life-making act of intercourse, with the sanctity and sensuality of the union captured by Munch. The usual golden halo of Mary has been replaced with a red halo symbolizing the love and pain duality. The viewer's viewpoint is that of the man who is making love with her. Even in this unusual pose, she embodies some of the key elements of canonical representations of the Virgin: she has a quietness and a calm confidence about her. Her eyes are closed, expressing modesty, but she is simultaneously lit from above; her body is seen, in fact, twisting away from the light so as to catch less of it, even while she faces it with her eyes. These elements suggest aspects of conventional representations of the Annunciation. Robert Melville states that the image portrays "ecstasy and pain in the act of love". Commenting on the lithograph version, he says that the "decorative border [is] composed of sperms trailing long wriggly filaments which meander round three sides of the image and end in a foetus-like pendant." Feminist critic Carol Duncan is inclined to interpret the figure as a femme fatale.

#geniatip #2 heute: Schwieriges #Thema: wie geht man mit den veränderten #Schreibweise​n von Familienname​n bei im Laufe der #Jahrhundert​e um.

Aktuelle #Beispiel​e aus dem #ofb #Lampertheim

Das urprüngliche #Mönich wurde auch #Mönnig #Mönch und später dann #Münch geschrieben.

Aus #Neudhardt wurde #Neidhart #Neidert & sogar #Neider.

Ich empfehle die konsequente #Normalisierung: ich nutze über #Generationen hinweg z.B. Münch und Neidert - die anderen Schreibweisen ergänze ich.
