So many stuffs here wow !!! I...Great Great Blog !!! So many stuffs here wow !!! I'm French and I'm writting a sociology thesis about : "the monster figure of unnatural".<br /><br />The best synonym for the word ‘monster’ is the locution ‘unnatural’’ (Aristote, Saint Augustin, Isidore de Seville, Thomas d'Aquin, etc.). That is a paradoxical sentence - if any - when we know that biologically speaking nothing produced by Nature can exist regardless of the respect of its laws. It is among the characteristics of imagination to create exceptions. <br /><br />But parallel to the Nature as objet of biology and physic is another kind of ‘nature’: the ‘ordinary knowledge’. (Artistote named it the ‘ordinary course’ (ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ πολύ) to mention the unnatural aspect of monster), this ‘thing that is produced by the organism to create an order within the experience’s flow’. <br /><br />Then any monster can be understood as what appears in contrary to an ‘ordinary knowledge’, a ‘sensitive reality’ in every sense, that is to say aesthetics- (mostly associated to an anthropocentred vision) and/or ethicspositioned (ideological intolerance). <br /><br />And the sharing of affections made by a minds’ community (religious, lay, revolutionary or imperialist, etc.) can reveal some ‘unnatural’ elements, against a form of 'State of Nature' at the level of macrosociology. Elements that are emerging from the Gnostic spirit and its substitute: the dogmatic spirit. Each specifically brings out the dualism between good and evil, knowledge and ignorance that leads towards the decay, decline age - in other words towards eschatological times and their monstrous abominations.<br /><br />PS : a gift for you, link for larger version of the Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo's painting : Erwan Moreaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21385664.post-9213520958179715452010-04-06T06:04:44.765-04:002010-04-06T06:04:44.765-04:00hi, are you sure that "Another Temptation of ...hi, are you sure that "Another Temptation of Saint Anthony painting by de Cock..." - http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6831/2161/1600/170430/gg0321_062b.jpg is really a painting by Cock?

I will get to the point I am searching for a lithograph of the 'Tempation' since I have one I just dug out to put up for auction, I would like to know a little about it before I do that but my time is limited---It is eerie but nothing like some of the images I see here, in fact it is very tame<BR/>St Anthony praying at a stone alter with a book proped on a skull, he is looking at a tall crucifix with Jesus, in the back ground there are faded out images (meant to be faded out) of a four threating ugly figures, one is really not too faded, but some, also a pig with a bell around his neck, I did see a couple of the prints, lithos, whatever with the presence of a pig. Would someone who is versed on this like to take a look at a photo of it?joanie707https://www.blogger.com/profile/13720370058580570665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21385664.post-52777503811608600912008-10-05T18:25:00.000-04:002008-10-05T18:25:00.000-04:00I have some good pictures of the Callot version go...I have some good pictures of the Callot version going up on eBay tonight.
