An exquisite glimpse into premodern Burma, this illuminated manuscript encapsulates Buddhist ordination rites with its lavish calligraphy and vibrant celestial beings. How does the intricate design reflect the spiritual essence of the text?

I recently finished reading Richard Wollheim's "Painting As An Art".
I found much of it stimulating in the close attention paid to particular pictures and thought provoking with regard to his theory of "seeing in" as the way to understand our perception of paintings.
On the other hand, his use of psychoanalytic theory left me with questions.
Surprisingly, his use of this theory reminded of some recent reading of mine in evolutionary psychology. Both Wollheim and the evolutionary psychologists stress the significance of a common human nature and are inclined to downplay the importance of systems of symbols or culture in general.
I do think that a substantive concept of human nature makes sense, and I am open to the possibility of evolutionary psychology and psychoanalytical theory contributing to an understanding of of human nature.
Altogether less agreeable to me is the tendency of these theories to smuggle in a social ontology in which culture is merely the creation of atomized individuals. One can believe in the evolved nature of the mind and allow for the possibility of certain kinds of psychic forces at work in the individual without denying the importance, still less the existence, of social facts. Thinking about languages as at once learned and used by individuals but also existing as entities external to those individuals is helpful here.

The #illuminatedManuscript #Khamsa of Nizami #BritishLibrary, Or. 12208 is a lavishly illustrated manuscript of the Khamsa or "five poems" of #NizamiGanjavi, a 12th-century Persian poet, which was created for the #MughalEmperor #Akbar in the early 1590s by a number of artists and a single scribe working at the Mughal court, very probably in Akbar's new capital of #Lahore in North #India, now in #Pakistan. Apart from the fine #calligraphy of the #PersianText.

Finally finished two rush projects and this allows me to continue on with the Marginalia Tarot Deck.
Today it's the Eight of Coins which is based on The Romance of the Rose. Français380.
It's a real learning experience on duplicating all these medieval painting styles digitally.
