Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Unveiling of Ward´s Equestrian Statue of Major-General George H. Thomas: Washington, November 19, 1879 According to the Mythology of the Ancient Greeks, Memory was the Mother of the Muses; so that, as Plutarch tells, the completed Sisterhood of Nine was included under the common name of Remembrances. The truth in the fiction is, that History is the parent of Art. And as Nature is the Art whereby God constitutes and governs the World, because it is the Revelation of the Invisible and Eternal, in forms of Sublimity and Beauty, to the mind of man; so Human Art, in all its varied forms - Poetry, Eloquence, Music, Painting, Sculpture, Architecture - is but the Interpreter and Expounder of the Divine Art, and fixes in its express and admirable forms whatsoever that is Divine, which it discovers in Nature or in Man. The Heroic in action and suffering must precede, because it inspires, the Heroic in representation. Man must become conscious of the noble and the good before he can express it; and he can become conscious of it only in his experience. Gods and heroes walked the earth, and wrought their wonders in action and suffering, before Phidias and Praxiteles could embody them. Achilles, first; afterward, Homer. And Art is therefore, if a prophecy, nevertheless, only because it is a Memorial; for it is on the prepared and receptive background of the Past that it paints or carves visions of the glory it foretells.
