Kitchen Maid

Continuing my obscurantism with an emotional challenge

This time depicting my four main blorbos

Leo - a little bit failed, I'm too lazy to fix his head shape; Absolutely thrilled with Helen's facial expression (I can hear the meme "pathetic"); While drawing Werner I really felt a drawing vacation (I especially like how his hands turned out, I really leave the "chief's kiss"); Oddmand as always has one emotion for all occasions…. Ah, stop, he doesn't really have emotions)0))

A downstairs Christmas at downton

🎅Mosely hanging mistletoe hoping for a kiss from baxter. Then Carson walks under it...

🎅Thomas spends most of the day in the kitchens, stealing food meant for upstairs

🎅Mrs Hughes singing Christmas carols, and carson refusing to join in

🎅 Daisy and ivy competing over who can make the best gingerbread people

🎅Thomas helping Andrew write Christmas cards to everyone

🎅 Jimmy and Alfred dressing as santa and an elf, Jimmy was santa because he refused to be an elf.

Rediscovering a Velázquez: The Attribution of “Kitchen Maid”

One of the Museum’s biggest announcements of 2018 involved a 17th-century painting that, for years, was on view at Rienzi with a label that read “In the style of Diego Velázquez.” After extensive conservation and research, Zahira Bomford, senior conservator of paintings, concluded that Kitchen Maid is attributable to the Spanish master himself.

Watch Bomford discuss Kitchen Maid, on view on the second floor of the Beck Building—alongside a new label that reads “Attributed to Diego Velázquez.”

THE SERVANT GIRL AT EMMAUS

It’s only recently that I discovered both Diego Velazquez’s “Kitchen Maid with the Supper at Emmaus” and  Denise Levertov’s poem inspired by the painting.

Notice how the “kitchen maid” seems to be watching the event from a reflection in the jar! Try to compose yourself within the scene. Take your place in the painting. Read Levertov’s poem a few times and then consider this one question:

Who are you in the scene and how are you participating in its unfolding?

The Servant-Girl at Emmaus (A Painting by Velazquez)

She listens, listens, holding her breath. Surely that voice is his—the one who had looked at her, once, across the crowd, as no one ever had looked? Had seen her? Had spoken as if to her?

Surely those hands were his, taking the platter of bread from hers just now? Hands he’d laid on the dying and made them well? Surely that face—? The man they’d crucified for sedition and blasphemy. The man whose body disappeared from its tomb. The man it was rumored now some women had seen this morning, alive? Those who had brought this stranger home to their table don’t recognize yet with whom they sit. But she in the kitchen, absently touching the wine jug she’s to take in, a young Black servant intently listening, swings round and sees the light around him and is sure.
