rondel was a rather sentimental landscape painter who had little influence on homer's style beyond his technical instruction in the use of oils. when the civil war began, harper's commissioned the artist to depict life at the front. roving behind the lines with the potomac army, homer produced a series of closely observed studies of camp life. homer's paintings of this period have an anecdotal or literary quality in keeping with the traditions of magazine illustration, but he also places new emphasis on pictorial design and the purely visual character of a scene-- qualities typical of the photographs of mathew brady and others. like the photographers of the civil war, whose equipment made action scenes impossible, homer preferred static group formations, and yet the feeling of directness in recording the ordinary lends to his work a special force. prisoners from the front, with its profound sense of the resignation, exhaustion, and human cost of war, evoked the admiration of both critics and the public and brought homer his first recognition as an artist. paris, december 1866. homer ar

the landscape upon which this battle occurred, a landscape which witnessed 8824 men become casualties, reminds us of the very tragic nature of the american civil war. sometimes as we stand upon the battlefield such as this one,one one that is usually cloaked in a quietness broken only by the sounds of nature, we forget how bloody our american iliad was, a conflict that claimed the lives of three quarters of a million americans. many of the men who sacrifice in this field had their whole lives in front of them. lives interrupted and sadly ended during that conflict. as a college professor, who teaches students who are the same age as many of those slain on this hollowed ground, i pause to wonder about the might have been. what might have become of the young division commander general stephen dodson -- 27 years old at the time of the battle, 27 years old at the time he breathed his final breath. one also wonders what might have become of the harvard educated union colonel charles russell -- whose name is emblazoned in harbors memorial hall. mortally wounded, like his confederate counter

the detailed realism of these faces and landscapes was a feature of northern art in this period. the limbourg brothers began their career working for the brother of the duke of berry-- philip the bold, duke of burgundy. the valois dukes of burgundy established one of the strangest and most extravagant courts of late medieval europe. from their base in burgundy, by marriage and diplomacy, they acquired large areas of the netherlands to build an extensive, though fragmented state of vast wealth. in 1404, duke philip the bold died at the stag inn near brussels. 20 years earlier his royayal sculptors had begun work on philip's tomb. one of them carved these images of the funeral procession which transported his body back to burgundy. clothed in the habit of a carthusian monk philip's embalmed body was sealed in a lead coffin and carried in a funeral cortege whh took nearly seven weeks to wind the 250 miles from brussels to dijon. accompanied by his sons, his chaplains, and members of his royal court the hearse was drawn by six horses in black with the blue banners of burgundy flutter

we've focused on this from this landscape based approach. it was interesting to look at this u-boat war and the time period we're in now gives us a much better opportunity to look at these things because when you look at a landscape on land, it's much easier to get your head around it where you look at things like trenches and operations of cover and fire. and when you look at a sea battle, it is much more difficult because you still see sort of this flat expanse of the ocean. but now with marine survey technology, with advancements in geographic information systems, we're able to model these things in a way that can really start to make sense of them because they took place over a much more vast geographical space. and particularly when you look at u-boat's involvement, this takes the naval engagement from what was always a sort of flat plane to really a 3-d landscape where now you're interacting with the bottom topography because the u-boats operate within the water column in this 3-d swpace and aerial surface support comes from stations,

the landscapes evoked those of ancient roman villa decoration but at the same time they reached intoneto to the actual barbaro lands. veronese invented landscapes based on descriptions by ancient roman writers yet he placed among his fictional ruins and temples a portrait of the villa itself. and the barbari and their servants took their place among the gods. the barbaro family itself-- the clan, its villa, its land-- its own small world becomes a microcosmic reflection of the macrocosm of the larger order. palladio's plan for the villa very clearly marks each room with a number. the numbers themselves fall into very particular relationships, that is, these are harmonic relationships harmonic proportions. the numerical representation of musical harmony-- musical harmony seen metaphorically on the largest scale as the harmony of the universe. so that in effect the barbaro family was living in tune with the universe. so in the villa at maser veronese reenacts the role of a painter from ancient times. palladio becomes a new vitruvius, and barbaro a new pliny, a patron in the roman tradi

signing off on the project, whatever was constructed, whether it was just ripping through some landscaping, that needs to be restored to its original condition before we seen off on the project. thus, at this point we're still expecting that that temporary path will be restored. as a matter of fact, i believe we conditioned the permit upon that. however, in talking to mr. william, just now, i mean, he informed me that they're willing to allow construction of it to address mark brand's point. yes, we can a allow this under an encroachment permit, we can make it permanent, so to speak, provided he gets consent from the two neighboring properties. in this case consent is required because it's something that's not constructed to city standards. the 15 foot wide #150id walk is proposed per city standards, thus no consent is required, it's already legislative sidewalk. for this additional path consent would be required from the conjoining property owners. if that is obtained we can issue that as a minor encroachment permit. i have nothing else to add. any questions i'd be glad to answer. >> than
