    Of all the art that I saw in February at the Getty Villa near Los Angeles, this one lingered with me most - a portrait made in hot wax, which was placed over the face of the mummified remains of its subject, some time around 100-125 AD. He challenges us from across the centuries. I find it strikingly realistic.

    This is the Tandragee Man (also known as the Tandragee Idol).

    He was originally found in Armagh in 1830 (or in Tandragee in 1930).

    He dates from 100 BC (or 1000 BC).

    He is probably a man (but he might be a woman).

    He is holding his arm (or he might be holding something that looks like an arm).

    He sits in the Protestant cathedral in Armagh (or at least he was there in August 2016).

    What is he (or she) telling us?

    Here are some statues in Woluwe:
    1) Morning, copy by Patrick Crombé of original by Arthur Dupagne
    2) Woman with Falcon, by Anne-Marie Morelle
    3) The Betrothal, designed by Henriëtte Calais and made by Charles Verhasselt
    4) Under the Same Heaven, by Tom Frantzen and Epaphrodite Binamungu, a memorial to the victims of the Rwanda genocide.

    Woluwe has a lot more public art - these were just the ones that particularly struck me on a walk there ten years ago.

  21. #ThursdayArt On the stairway down to Platform 1 at the Brussels Luxembourg railway station, if you look up you’ll see this 1897 Art Nouveau stained glass commemoration of (evil) King Leopold II by master glassman Raphael Evaldre. It has the arms of Belgium and of Brussels, the monogrammed L and the Belgian motto, “l’Union fair la Force” (roughly, “Unity is Strength”). You can also see Evaldre’s signature at bottom left.

    Paradise, as depicted in a 4th century mosaic in the church of St Sophia (ie Αγία Σοφία, the Holy Wisdom), in Sofia, Bulgaria.

    The mosaic is 2.6m x 2.5m. Two cypress trees, twined with vines, flank a vase with a palm branch and two birds pecking at it; lower down are two baskets with two more birds. It symbolises Paradise, and was created just after the adoption of Christianity in the Roman Empire. The city of Serdica was renamed Sofia after the church.
