the museum of prints and drawings the collection is both a treasure and under a miracle in more than 500 years of existence the joints have remained largely together in a well preserved condition. yeah here us this and here from this box i've just taken and one of the drawing sandra party cheli created for the divine comedy. act the berlin cops cabinet holds $85.00 of these drawings of right out of another 7 from the cycle are kept at the vatican of we assume that the cycle originally included $102.00 parchments by. packer manto so today about 10 have been lost at sea in a short. while

these drawings so significant these were run like a typical body cheli painting large and colorful as are our nowadays and actually ever since it was discovered this is considered to be one of the most important works of the renaissance setting a sauce. it's fair to say that but each ellie like no other is down to illustrator before or after him was able to visualize the words of dante watson he translated the words into images and presents them to was as a story told in pictures that up it. this is not a single work of art but rather $92.00 individual works each in itself is a fascinating piece in compassing the inimitable power and magic as the artist the danton journey through hell to paradise with a breathtaking a statics and intensity.

drawings for roman ballet and a collected in a facsimile those that are expound on time 6 months here are some white pages. these are the sheets that are lost foreign and here it's quite interesting because we have this detailed map adele and fairly you can imagine more or less how to put it shelley was thinking about representing these cantos for which we have no sheets for to let our harm conduct out. with the muppets and inferno but it surely begins his cycle by illustrating the entire path into and through hell. why is. there i can imagine that the muppet delane fair know was drawn 1st as a kind of presentation for his quiet object. off that but he

chilly executed this 1st and showed it to him this is how i imagine it looking this is what the arrangement of the scenes will be. in $49.00 he won after only a few months but it interrupts his work on the divine comedy cycle he goes to rome where he spends more than a year creating frescoes for the sistine chapel a great sauna in recognition of his talent. back in florence was a chilly takes up dante seems again he's motivated in creative and finds a narrative style this is absolutely unique indeed but it surely proves to be a great innovator carving new artistic. the mother del firm no in the upper stone a library in the vatican is the conceptual study the blueprint for the masterpiece encompassing all $100.00 cans it lays the foundation for the artist's unusual

approach. it's interesting to compare body chalice drawings with what is essentially a contemporary codex produced between 14181485 of the on the board here we have the traditional relationship between image and text if this the image is directly related to the text and it depicts only one moment. though in the hands of selection from an important episode of the counter with body challenge we have a completely different vision. instead of depicting a single moment the following. steadily and over time. in the circles of hell for example you can see dante and virgil up at the top distinguished from one another by the color of their own. they enter and then you see how they were through 9 circles the image shows the whole process.

this is the enormous difference between body cheli cycle and the traditional manuscripts of the times. but bertie cheli goes a step further he needs more space for his drawings and comes up with something new in addition to telling an ongoing story in a single sheet but also devices the special arrangement of his images along with dentists text he just sides to have each of the $100.00 canned written on the back of the parchment upside down bound in each image would then appear at the top of the page with the corresponding candidate printed below thus it becomes clear this must be a book with the mark of hell as cover image. the likelihood is if you have $102.00 sheets of parchment that need to be in a certain fixed order and that it will be about anything else would actually be

a logical. in addition to both the cherries drawings the binding itself is treasure this work of art is kept in berlin the binding is extremely significant to understanding the history of the down taste cycle because it helps trace the path taken by. where it traveled whose hands it passed through. international exhibitions like this one at london's court held gallery bring. a cycle to light. creature from the covers of books these drawings never fail to surprise them if he resists the unexpected power of his book to check. the viewers are absolutely fascinated by charlie's drawings one of the things that i've noticed over and over again is that they they go up to them and they look very very closely the drawings that because

they're so delicate and so incredibly days held. a lot of charlie had a very very deep and strong understanding of dante and his drawings absolutely part of the south he captured the darkness and the horrors of the inferno just as well as he did the divine beauty of paradise. when most people think of all the charlie i think of the think of goddesses that think of angels i think of as some rather sweet elegant melancholy beauty this is a totally on their own side about a challenge to most people. this is the last counter in the end for an hour where dante and virginal reach the center the center of the earth the bottom of how and they encounter lucifer himself

and he depicted lisa for very unusually on a double page as a full figure from god to take her from head to foot and he's done this so that he can actually show the action the central action of the final count which is actually dante and virtual escaping from hell and they have to do so by climbing all the way down the body. to climb down his body hanging onto him something. then when they reach his flying they turn what looks to us upside down but they're actually turning off right and they're climbing up toward the surface of the earth. in the opposite direction and you actually see them heading up toward the surface here and of course though the counter ends with the very famous line so we can force them to help once again the stars. we have to think ourselves back into the mindset of someone 15 centuries and some of the 15th century are either going to vote what if on this passage or. our

new inferno is profoundly disturbing but but a chilly brings an equally imaginative and sun's full vision to what comes next from the inferno he leads us on parchment through purgatory to paradise. except for a few sheets with color these are mostly just line drawings often executed in great detail they are always full of passion the challenge grows increasingly difficult for the artist the closer he gets to paradise. all these parchments were drawn by hand and they are artistically highly complex how long did it take him. the world of drawing looks completely different today modern technical possibilities to transform the way artists work. digital tools enable creative freedom making it easier for artists to respond quickly and flexibly to

time pressure and new creative to moms. virtual ink on virtual natural materials can be used to create images in the style of other. ideas approaches 2nd thoughts today changes a quick and easy to make. the situation was dramatically different. for a simple time. most often busted charlie used a metal stylus to press initial outlines and ideas into the parchment sheets then he used a metal pen to make delicate bluish colored preliminary drawings as he decided on

his image. the cherry then finalized the drawings in ink he used pure lie applying great experience and skill. a capacity for reflection and the ability to plan an image in his mind was enormously important because parchment was expensive but it surely couldn't just crumple it up and throw it away if he was dissatisfied. as a result some drawings allow us to see the artist changing his mind we have evidence that he that he changed his mind about a composition and for example in that in the 1st strong for paradise here regionally drew the figures of dante and beatrice flowing up out of the the earthly paradise into the 1st series of haven't one thought of the street and then at some point he decided he actually one of them on the exact opposite of the shape of the

shape so he turned he turned the sheet 180 degrees and drew them in in ink so this is what we see in the finish line today but you can still see those kind of ghosts ghostly figures of dante interests below them. not all decisions were purely creative at various points in the cycle it's clear that the undertaking presented with difficulties. we can assume that dr charlie must have worked under pressure during some stages to under time pressure he made corrections here raised you can also see at some point some kind of acceleration in execution music would soon but the work did not go quickly to charlie lay vision for it for a very long time returning again and again for many years. i mean the dates of the drawings cover a long period from approximately the year 1480 to the year 4095 with.

there are scholars who believe the execution of the drawings took place largely in the 40 nineties and young more than others think it took place an even longer period extending up until ball to chant his death in 15 tam. wishing to use we do we do have evidence that baba charlie may have worked on some of the drawings over a long period of time a few of them we can see that he used some 2 or 3 different colored inks which suggests that he did part of the drawing went went out about it came back into it another part of it there are some artists out there the work. a painting for a long time and we we can think about that. we painted the 1st 20 years. the same painting and then perhaps a probably he had more important commissions so he you stop and go stop and go and so for a long time they didn't finish and that's what. she were doing for the next year

there are 2 very interesting aspects then the school master's work on dante took a very long time that. second durang caused problems for the party challenging. the shapely. evolution and diversity and florentina including that of the renascence addressed cataloged in new fitzy gallery in florence today we might think towered over everything the most powerful artist of his time. well actually at his time and that is very important part of charlie was not such a special artist he was really one important artist among a dozen others and you can see that from the sistine chapel from the frescoes in the lower part of the sistine chapel were to charlie got one but the others got one diode this workshop got other sections so he wasn't even the most of her power as he was really one artist among perhaps

a dozen great artists. office time. but a chilly star began to fade his name fell into oblivion and with it his art and his vision disappeared from view for hundreds of years. another world another time the scottish lowlands unbelievable though it may sound it was here that after centuries of oblivion most of us a chinese drawings of the divine comedy reappear. mannix love is the seat of the juke of hamilton a lovely large council but the former seat of hamilton was roughly najah a real palace. long since destroyed today it exists only in photographs. and on with its imposing size the legendary hamilton palace was also

a kind of treasure chest for art it was the 10th stupid hamilton who was fascinated with the extraordinary works of art who amassed this treasure. the 10 stick of hamilton was a very shy man he was a very proud man he was very proud of the fact that he was duke of hamilton and brandon he was the premier peer of scotland and he wanted people to really appreciate that he was a very very very important individual and he put together a powerhouse of a treasure house which reflects the importance of himself and his family and it is an actual fact a demonstration of his status. the jew kwento out of his way to leave a lasting impression on his visitors. so you came into this very very fine room with the bookcases right around the walls glazed bookcases and then you would have

propped open door he would have opened one of the glazed bookcases for you and you would have had 100150 titles to choose and he could have just brought out the great missile of card chief or you could have brought out the potter cheli illustrations you would have had a wealth of idolizing to live up to stand it was truly much richer assume that you could hamilton kept drawings in this binding and captivated for you with the artist's vision. when the codex under his collection and was and was seen by the many guests invited to come to view his library it really was a revelation to people bother showing himself and his because our attention had fallen out of favor long since so he was really being rediscovered and indeed through the medium of these wonderful drawings. here in scotland centuries later but it really is drawings could once again be where did they come from how did they resurface. the reason for the dukas acquiring the potter drawings but he is the

united it from 171001221802 acquiring manuscripts lots and lots of manuscripts he comes back to britain and he is introduced to the leading london bookseller james edwards who becomes his mentor and supplier. puts out in paris in april of 1803 and then when edwards is barchi writes a letter to be the 10 scoop saying that he's just returned from paris where he was spied on manuscripts atmel ynys. cloudy a 1000000 years the 1st person to him but drawing. can be traced the handwritten note by millenium and the cover of the most important clues to the question of where they had been or a.z.'s. in frank clash and stand this states to france said the end of the 18th century. and hold up as a rocky sometime between the 780 s.

and the early 79 days. conclusion can be drawn from the papers and from the remains of the people in the folds. but this binding replaces an older binding and we can tell where the drawings were before for have an optician langner perhaps they had been in france for some time perhaps not been ish or basically we don't know where the drawings were from the time they left but it charlie's possession until malini collected and listed them here in this binding. list saying the question of who 1st recognized the astonishing artistic value of the body cherry codex remains on known by the late 18th century at least we know that butter cheli had largely fallen from view but 350 years after his death the time had come to chile was celebrated once again. duke disposes of his collection because he was short of cash

so he was embarrassed. by the mid 19th century the name but it resonated once again . the times after january $882.00 the times carried a brief notice that the duke of hamilton was planning to sell his manuscript collection at auction probably in the fall this manuscript collection was said to contain particularly exquisite pieces including a volume of drawings possibly by the hand of sandro butter jelly of the divine comedy the director of the berlin. and was immediately interested his passionate desire was to acquire these drawings by buddy charlie for the berlin. and the duke exception on the 20 sister october it is rosie comes comes in from the proceeds of. the original auction catalog is converted into

a protocol for the handover of hamilton is astonishing collection of art treasures passes into burning. in late october 1882 the how multan collection is packed into 8 teams the boxes and sent from the english coast to berlin in july pushing. it was a new journey into the on name for buses cherries down taste cycle. only 85 drawings reached. in additional 7 was separated from the main body of work what is striking is that 3 of their is a colored one is the mother dell in fana. perhaps due to their religious appeal the 7 drawings found their way to the vatican in rome but here of all places they

remained undiscovered for a long time. down to see it was not until 887 long after the english manuscripts of been transferred to berlin that the art historian yasser struck an austrian notice that the 7 drawings thought to be from another representation of the divine comedy were actually part of the large collection stored and. it was an exceptionally fortunate moment when he realized that they were by dr charlie silky and had been extracted from the codex. and called the ship. probably one of the most fascinating sheeps in its coloring makes sitting credit. please visit and ally it looks magnificent and finished but it isn't as if this means we don't know if this sheet is finished because at least one figure is uncolored. it's here on the upper

left. the hell monster gary on that he's described by down to as the most colorful creature found in hell more colorful than woven oriental fabrics and yet on this colored sheet carry on is the only creature who is not colored at all. in the matter dylan fan are but a cherry provides an indication of gary and the parents but the challenge of depicting the most colorful creature in hell is a daunting one the other figures are extremely imaginative and vivid green they fight they took they appear to be moving. just as down tight as they were but it charlie brings the figures to life in his drawings. and to come out. of that session after this history and that of course is where the

difficulty arose how can go rearm be made even more vivid more colorful obviously no solution was found which is why go re on is uncovered and there are some before who aren't as big get me on karate yet. it's possible that the length of time but it took a clue to finishing it and in the sense of fully color it gets better it is it is also possible that it was decided that the un color drawing and some were beautiful enough in themselves to justify simply arm from political cycle out black and white line drawings. on a drawing great variety. there are some that are completely filled out and counted and others are just. we because of that we can be sure that the work was not completed computer. rescued from oblivion today people

flock to see but a challenge. how does he manage to still inspire people today with art that is more than 500 years old well it's certainly part of the star system of artistry about is very much comparable with famous actors also if you have the superstars is a superstar in our perception. that i was a cherry strolled the masses with his i usual imagination as well as with his portrayals of beauty and femininity. in. his feminine ideal and vision of beauty was always inspired by his muse someone at a vis production. she was considered the most beautiful woman of the time. paintings of her in turn were considered purrfect poor traits of her beauty and the fascinated countless artists with them including leonardo da vinci.

breaks and on top of that stars are having to play in empty stadiums that can help with motivation right. just for these guys it was on this and this is going to be. interesting to speak to the players through their membership it's boring and might be. unusually silent stadiums and extremely low clouds a combination that doesn't help performances so what can players do things that are really twice and thrice trying to think about the times when. everyone agrees too much is too much but at some point out it is what it is. the time for us for swimming to get done it took an identity for. power through that's what we're all doing and ultimately the task is the same as ever. it couldn't. turn it and it was minus and i thought isn't for the most on the job or

an important time to race and look after the players. his players in particular had a hectic schedule between late november and late december. so what does the fixture pile up lead to. quality drops off the game just isn't as visually appealing. of course you get underperforming teams every year but you never seen this many title favorites misfiring at the same time. let's look at how many points the dominant sides of the last few years have won at the start of 2021 it was noticeable that most of them apart from byron had far fewer than after the same number of games last season for example liverpool had 13 points fewer than last season and 11 fewer than in 2819. manchester city had 3 fewer than last season 12 fewer than the previous year and 14 fewer than in 201718. barcelona were 9 points behind their tally from last season 6 from the

previous year and 14 from the year before that. event us up to 13 games were 11 points off the pace set last season 13 from the previous season and 7 from the year before that. and p.s.g. total was 7 lower than last season 12 lower than the year before and 9 lower than $21718.00. the big boys are suddenly losing to small team why well obviously the play. running themselves into the ground. it's just too much the product suffered losing its shine and sometimes scheduling even was. shot with a yes i was caught there what i made. yeah this city

and as we played on tuesday to always. use the fuse i'm contention all 4 of. these are nice but it's ok but the weapons the teams should not even be in consideration for the small. seems reasonable but the people setting kickoff times don't take that into consideration and that's how you end up with teams having just 2 and a hof days between games from wednesday evening to saturday lunchtime and then the performances suffer. even if the 1st up today we were playing. about the movements. the 2nd. and with stadiums and see does no one around to cheer the players on that can make things easier for people is not the same fortunately we would have the funds and the passion. takes away from it

but i don't think anyone. has been in the situation the players don't like it to be honest thomas. mann football and messi says it's horrible feels like a training session and it's very tough to get going at the start of a game. so what can a player like messi do when deprived of the big stage. the situation apparently affects the big stars more. to be honest. it's there was. aware of like i need to be to say these if it's meant to be and if. we're to play it without like 20 people. but i don't have more. when i go and other countries like other players more than me that.

it's hard to think of anything else when you're playing so often including internationals top players had to play every $3.00 days at the start of the season it was every $4.00 days the previous year. that difference of 0.6 days makes a big difference to play as physically as the doctor tells us the heavy strain and insufficient regeneration time lead to an increased risk of injury and limited ability to perform but we have to find solutions. to part of it. and the conditions or the lack of a summer break due to the champions league also didn't help. and aside from that the play as usual rhythms which is.

like killie and they said they got no holidays no rest. even the toughest sides struggling to cut. loose in our latest us via. the common. dusty months of god a limit is skipped so we are. bunch of. like we said. power through but. we've already had 2 major reason they're probably not just my players or the team's players so we need to think about them szish. the president of the horde or anything they might do or not wish on your question. ok you're making. the last order out he knows that but. it's hardly

a new problem and coaches have long complained about the amount of football played some even want. is a lot faster. what they saw everybody in the last weeks know how many of the players they have. were going to kill them vs follow. it's hard times but it's just so much along with them but. i absolutely love for great buddies but football associations don't want to hear it they say in the old days they would just as many games and no one complained. and technically much as came around just as often as in the precursor own era.

but that's not a fake comparison because as our dr says the game is always getting faster and more dynamic. and the pressure to succeed always increasing. doses musicians are books and pits mode to suit. him those who serve those who serve. in the sea those up. kind of. put something towards it's a positive. in this particular analogy fee for you wife and the leaves of a microwave and the mold wants all games the better that means more t.v. money it also means the t.v. companies have a say in who plays when and how often. do we see. people we cannot deal with. if things keep going like

this the whole idea of fair competition will be under threat players at the big club simply have to play far more games than those that 2 thirds of the other teams are met late and there were 6 international match days in that time it all puts players at risk. there is a danger that injuries and problems from being overworked pile up leading to increasingly long absences if you're waiting for change hold your breath. if you continue write this and hopefully become a euro the euros in the summer because they have. let's see who will be part of. the players so everybody gets to do all the paperwork it's fine we have you found a solution to play on that's great but now we can stop people.
