Black Venus

Southern Netherlands (c.1580)

Bronze

Kunsthistorische Museum in Vienna

I found some information about it in “Black Africans in Renaissance Europe” by Thomas Foster Earle and K. J. P. Lowe. According to the book, the  statue, which copy resides in Kunsthistorische Museum,  was one of the earliest depiction of “a black African presented out of context and not a slave” (yeees). The orginal used to be accompanied by a metal mirror.

Here's the original medievalpoc post on this work. As usual, it sounds like the museum text leaves a lot to be desired.

Statue of St. Maurice from the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, about 1510, from the workshop of Tilman Riemenschneider, Germany, probably from an altarpiece. From the museum placard: “Maurice is usually depicted as a black saint, and here the face might originally been painted black.”

Katie (XO) sent in this picture of a truck engaged in the proverbial traveling advertising approach to drum up business. Now the modern-day technique is to but some cheap magnetic signs from VistaPrint and do something fancy like…

But his classic sign approach is an example of a sign technique that has been long-lost like an middle-age skill.

You have to give a hat tip to the guy for his use…
