Тополя (Poplar Tree) | 1996 | Valentina Kostyleva | Ukraine

Based on the poem by Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko. A young girl falls in love with a Cossack who goes off to war. She waits faithfully for his return, but as time passes, he does not come back. Heartbroken and despairing, she fears he has died or forgotten her. The villagers pressure her to marry someone else, but she refuses.

In her sorrow, she seeks help from a traditional Ukrainian village witch/folk healer, begging for a way to preserve her love and avoid an unwanted marriage. The witch casts a spell that turns the girl into a poplar — tall, slender, and always reaching toward the distance, as if still looking for her beloved.

A team led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has engineered poplar trees to produce valuable chemicals that can be used to make biodegradable plastics and other products. The modified trees were more tolerant of high salt levels in soil and were easier to break down for conversion into biofuels and other bioproducts. The study, published in Plant Biotechnology Journal, shows that poplar trees, which are already useful as a bioenergy crop, can be reprogrammed at the genetic level to act as living factories for producing high-value materials.

Maria, from Sterne’s ‘A Sentimental Journey’

Artist: Joseph Wright of Derby (English, 1734–1797)

Date: 1777

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Private Collection

Description

Maria, a character from Lawrence Sterne’s novel 'A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy by Mr Yorick’ (published in 1768), is heartbroken after being deserted by her fiancé. Her downcast mood is echoed by her dog, Sylvio, here portrayed as a Maltese or Bolognese lapdog. Wright captures the dog’s expression and texture very faithfully and it is possible that the model was a family pet. The painting portrays Sterne’s visually detailed description of Maria: 'I discovered Maria sitting under a poplar… with her elbow in her lap, and her head leaning on one side within her hand – a small brook ran at the foot of the tree.’
