Re: [meteorite-list] What's going on in the background?
Hallo Martin, What is even more interesting in the Raphael you posted is the absence of the Latin inscription on the captioning plaquet. I believe there was one and that, and this is just an assumption based on the position of the Church vis a vis things celestial and cosmic in the quatrocentro, that it was removed as being heretical. The crudeness of the technique of the over painting of the plaque belies any connection to the master. It very well could be that this is the first censored painting of a meteoritic event.

What's going on in the background? Hola Martin, Comes meteoritae; It would seem Sigismondo d' Conti (1432 -1512) commissioned this 1511 painting to commemorate how he narrowly escaped death by a fragmenting cannonball during the 1439 seige of Foligno, by the Status Pontificius who were retook his city after Corrado IV Trinci withdrew it from the Pope's tributary possessions. Conti attributed his survival to his guardian angel. He would have been about 7 years old during the seige, and was probably in a process of atonement and praise God, since he would die with a year after the painting was finished. Foligno is in the background under a rainbow, or halo, probably to show the presence of the angel (the left arch in your partial image of the painting). The projectile is represented on the right. Alternately, in Abraham Kaplan's word's I call it the law of the instrument, and it may be formulated as follows: Give a small boy a hammer, and he will find that everything he encounters needs pounding. It comes as no particular surprise to discover that a scientist formulates problems in a way which requires for their solution just those techniques in which he himself is especially skilled. Of course Mr. Kaplan didn't imagine what we would imagine a hammer could be ;-) Kindest wishes Doug -Original Message- From: Martin Altmann altm...@meteorite-martin.de To: meteorite-list meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Mon, Jan 9, 2012 9:36 am Subject: [meteorite-list] What's going on in the background?
