paragraph: George Richard Robinson

paragraph: George Richard Robinson ( – 24 August 1850) was a British Peelite, Conservative and Whig politician.

paragraph: Section::::Family and early life.

paragraph: Born around 1781, Robinson was the son of surgeon and Mayor of Wareham, Dorset, Richard Robinson. He never married, but had at least one illegitimate daughter, presumably with a Miss M. Read, whom "The Times" reported, in 1827, that he had "eloped with", also describing Read as a "beautiful and accomplished daughter of a wealthy merchant residing at Poole", but no record of their marriage has been found.

paragraph: At an early age, he joined the family's Newfoundland trade, which was then headed by Benjamin Lester—who was a Member of Parliament (MP) for Poole between 1790 and 1796—and then Lester's son-in-law, George Garland, who was an MP for the same constituency between 1801 and 1806 and was in partnership with his brother, Joseph Garland, a London corn merchant, until 1805.

paragraph: Following this, Robinson worked in Joseph Garland's London office, before joining Hart, Eppes and Gaden, with whom he went to St. John's to control its operations, becoming a partner of the firm in 1810, when he was joined at the firm by John Bingley Garland, brother of Benjamin Lester Lester, Poole MP between 1809 and 1835. By 1815, the firm was named Hart, Garland and Robinson and was one of the largest in Newfoundland trade. In 1822, upon Hart's retirement, Robinson became the firm's senior partner, and remained head of the firm until his death.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.:Worcester MP (1826–1837).:1826–1830.

paragraph: Robinson first entered Parliament after the 1826 general election as an MP for Worcester. While he claimed to be "independent" and "unconnected with any party", and having the support of non-resident freemen across the country, he is recorded in various works as acting as a Whig—despite, at a dinner, expressing approval of the Tory government headed by Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool. At the same dinner, he "eulogised" the Tory Foreign Secretary George Canning.

paragraph: He attended parliament regularly, and campaigned for tariff reforms, represented shipping interests and North American colonies, and advocated Newfoundland's claim to an independent legislative assembly. The latter was established and Robinson's partner, John Bingley Garland, served as the first speaker in 1833.

paragraph: In Parliament, Robinson denounced "fraudulent schemes" of joint-stock companies, voted against the Duke of Clarence's grant, for Catholic emancipation, for revision of the Corn Laws, and against increased protection for barley. He also advocated inquiries into electoral interference by the Leicester corporation, and Irish estimates, and seconded Thomas Davies' successful motion for the appointment of a select committee on polling—although he later rebuked Davies' suggestions of limiting the duration of polls and providing multiple booths, fearing this would "abridge the freedom of election", presenting a hostile petition from Worcester.

paragraph: He also moved an amendment to extend the poll to 10 days in length in order to accommodate out-voters, and threatened to "take advantage of the forms of the House" to stop the progress of reform bills, although this failed. He advocated an inquiry into the Devon and Cornwall Mining Company, and for the disfranchisement of Penryn.

paragraph: Robinson presented numerous petitions for the repeal of the Test Acts, and voted in this way in the House of Commons, and secured accounts of government expenses in Newfoundland, calling for a "small naval force" to protect the area's fishing fleet. On free trade, Robinson was initially favourable to the "principle" of it, but not unless "something like reciprocity" had been established—and defended the notion of tariff retaliation against the United States in 1828. He spoke and voted to reduce the pivot price of corn, supported repeal of the usury laws, and recommended use of private packets in the place of post office steam vessels. He also supported the unification of Upper and Lower Canada and for an inquiry into "unjustifiable expenditure" on military works there.

paragraph: Throughout the remainder of his Worcester parliamentary career, Robinson presented a number of petitions against distress in the silk industry, and criticised the silk trade bill in 1829—claiming the government "refuse[d] any protection to the manufacturer" but gave "protection to the landed interest". He dissented from anti-Catholic petitions from his constituency, and declared his approval of the Wellington–Peel ministry's concession of emancipation. By this point, he was voting steadily with the Whigs, and was campaigning heavily for tax reductions particularly on those which "press most heavily on the industrious classes"—protesting that "scarcely one tax has been removed from the necessities of life, or from the articles which are used by the poor and industrious". He attacked plans to reduce duties on French wine and urged "the introduction of the representative system" to some British colonies.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.:Worcester MP (1826–1837).:1830–1831.

paragraph: Robinson against stood for election for Worcester at the 1830 general election, professing support for "every practical reduction in political expenditure" and claiming he had never "mixed myself with any degree of party". He also denied allegations he was an "enemy to the poor". Despite this, he was returned unopposed, and he immediately renewed his campaign for a review of taxation and an "amelioration of the condition of the people", stating that "without inquiry, and without remedy, the state of the country can never be improved". Again, despite being listed as a Whig by reference books, he was noted as a "foe" by the Wellington government, and divided against the party on the civil list in 1830, and made a number of criticisms on issues including stamp duty, slavery, and colonial trade.

paragraph: He then criticised the Grey ministry's proposals for ambassadorial pensions, condemned its civil list as "monstrous" and giving rise to potential "odium and scandal"—but also approved of much of its Budget, despite still disproving of plans to reduce duties on French wines and foreign timber. He began to advocate a "graduated property tax", which he argued would "have the effect of relieving all branches of protective industry", and voted in favour of the reform bill caveating this action with an insistence that he was not "pledged to any of the details" but had some "approbation of the principle".

paragraph: Section::::Political career.:Worcester MP (1826–1837).:1831–1832.

paragraph: Campaigning ahead of the 1831 general election, Robinson mocked those who backed "moderate reform", claiming this was the "greatest bug-bear that ever was attempted to be put upon the people". He declared he was "an opponent of the free trade system... while trade in corn remains shackled". He was then returned unopposed, again, for Worcester.

paragraph: In Parliament, he "harassed ministers" over the government of Newfoundland and welcomed a commission of inquiry into colonial establishments, also urging for a legislative assembly similar to those in other North American colonies. He again resumed calls for a reform of taxation and against the reduction of French wine duties.

paragraph: Robinson was a supporter of an Irish poor law, and wished to suppress the introduction of a writ for Liverpool and Pembrokeshire. At the 1831 coronation of William IV, he came with an "enormous nosegay in his hand, which excited much laughter".

paragraph: He then voted for the second reading of the reintroduced reform bill, but dismissed universal suffrage, dividing at least twice against the notion, while briefly speaking for the overall bill. He got frustrated, however, at interruptions, noting that "we must not, night after night, waste our time in debate on frivolous points". Throughout the debate, defended arrangements for Wareham and Stoke-upon-Trent, against the division of county constituencies, and for the enfranchisement of £50 tenants-at-will. In December 1831, he rejected an anti-reform petition from Worcestershire, and continued to give steady support for reform.

paragraph: For the remainder of the parliament, in 1832, he continued to demand inquiries into distress, and voted against the vestries bill. He argued against the anatomy bill, warning that legalising the "sale of human bodies" would "facilitiate and encourage the commission of murder".

paragraph: He also called for a modified property tax and inquiries into how the "whole system of taxation can be remodeled" and into glove trade, also presenting petitions on the inquiry into silk trade. He opposed the sale of beer bill and endorsed and presented a hostile petition on the matter. He continued to support representative reforms in Newfoundland and New South Wales.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.:Worcester MP (1826–1837).:1832–1847.

paragraph: Robinson was returned for Worcester once more, as a Whig, at the 1832 general election, and continued to press for tax reforms before retiring at the 1837 general election. In 1841, he stood unsuccessfully as a Conservative at Tower Hamlets, before being elected a Peelite member for Poole in 1847, holding the seat until his death in 1850.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Upon his death, dated 1 July 1850, he directed all of his interest in Newfoundland should be sold for his daughter, who was then living in Paris, and her children. He left annuities of £500 to Thomas Brooking, his business partner, £100 to George Thomas Brooking, his godson, and £200 to his Ellen Garland, his goddaughter. A further £7,000 was to be invested to provide for the poor of Wareham, and his remains were interred at Poole in the same vault as his mother and sister.

paragraph: Ferdinand Rothbart

paragraph: Ferdinand Rothbart (3 October 1823, Roth - 31 January 1899, Munich) was a German draftsman, illustrator and history painter. He also served as curator for the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung in Munich.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: When he was a young child, he moved with his family to Nuremberg, where his father owned a wire braiding factory. Shortly thereafter, his father died, and Ferdinand's mother had to support the family by sewing. At the age of five, a guardian took him and his older brother to an orphanage, where they received vocational training. He went on to learn etching, lithography and map coloring at the firm of H. L. Petersen.

paragraph: From 1845 to 1848, he executed a series of watercolors for Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha: interior portraits of rooms at the various ducal residences in Coburg (Rosenau, Ehrenburg) and Gotha (, Winterpalais).

paragraph: In 1855, he moved to Munich and became a freelance book illustrator, publishing some of his own works directly, as well. He also studied painting, and produced many genre works with landscape or architectural backgrounds. His health was fragile, due to repeated haemorrhages, but he was able to live in Rome from 1860 to 1863, having received a scholarship from the "Martin von Wagner Foundation". While there, he worked as a librarian in addition to his painting.

paragraph: In 1871, he was hired as curator for the "Königlichen Kupferstich- und Handzeichnungs-Cabinet" (Royal Engraving and Sketch Collection, now the Staatlische Graphische Sammlung) in Munich. While there, he strove to make the works of the old masters available to a wider audience.

paragraph: He developed severe asthma in 1885, which forced his retirement. After spending recovery time in several spas, he returned to painting and illustrating. Health permitting, he continued to take part in all the affairs of the Munich art community.

paragraph: Anne Dybka

paragraph: Anne Dybka was an English Australian artist and glass engraver. After training and study in painting, drawing, glass engraving and graphic arts, Dybka went on to create works which are on display in Australian public collections. Dybka's works are privately owned by Hua Guofeng, the former Chinese premier, Lord Snowdon, Sir Roden Cutler and Neville Wran.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Dybka was born Anne Ruth Mary Hutchings on the first of January 1922 in Portsmouth, England, and she died at age 85 in Sydney, Australia on the 11th of May 2007. Her Father, remembered as “Mad Hutch” was a submariner and commander in the royal navy. Little is known about her life in Britain, however at an early stage of life, Dybka began undertaking artistic study and training.

paragraph: In her early life she completed studies in painting and drawing with Martin Bloch in London. She also studied graphic arts at London Polytechnic. Dybka was a fellow of London's guild of glass engravers, and is one of only two known people to use the cameo technique.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life.

paragraph: Dybka was married at age 19 to her first husband Peter Thompson. Her first marriage bore four children, whose names are Sarah, Gill, Michael and Tony. It was with her first husband and four children that Dybka migrated to Australia in 1956. Whilst in Australia, Dybka undertook studies at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School, and also studied under George Bell in Melbourne.

paragraph: Dybka's second marriage was to Rudolf Dybka, who was an Austrian ceramic artist, who had migrated to Australia through the Australian Austrian Assisted Passage Scheme. Rudolf and Anne Dybka worked together in studios across Parramatta throughout the 1960s and 70s. In 1968, as a married couple, Rudolf and Anne established a pottery studio in their backyard in Rydalmere in NSW.

paragraph: Dybka's third marriage was to Eddy Mills, who was an engraver from the East-End of London. Their marriage had lasted more than 25 years when she died in 2007.

paragraph: Section::::Glasswork.

paragraph: Section::::Glasswork.:Training Undertaken.

paragraph: Dybka undertook a range of training in London, and furthered this after her migration to Australia. From 1938 to 1944, Dybka undertook training in Painting and Drawing with Martin Bloch in London, UK. Following the completion of this training, she studied graphic arts at London Polytechnic, London, UK from 1948 to 1949. After migrating to Australia, Dybka continued her training, and studied at the George Bell School in Melbourne Victoria in the late 1950s.

paragraph: During her career as an artist, Dybka had worked for Guy Boyd, as a decorator, and as a glass designer for Old Chelsea glassware. Dybka had professional experience working with Crown Crystal Glass in Sydney NSW in the years 1970–1976 as a glass engraver. The vast experience in glass engraving along with training allowed Dybka to experiment with different methods of engraving.

paragraph: Section::::Glasswork.:Career.

paragraph: In 1967 Dybka, together with her then husband, Rudolf Dybka, collaborated with Vladmir Tichy, who was a Czech born ceramic sculptor who had arrived in Australia in 1968. This collaboration culminated in a studio, which was named Dybka Tichy in Parramatta, NSW, between both Rudolf and Anne, and Vladmir. One of the production managers employed at the studio, Joe Sartori, described the work of the studio as producing architectural murals, handmade tiles and decorative and functional pottery. The works were supplied to Grace Brothers and Waltons Department stores, which were prominent in Australia throughout the 1970s an onward. Rudolf Dybka left this partnership in 1974 and moved to Victoria to continue his work in pottery. The studio was ultimately renamed Studio Tichy and Partners, following the departure of the Dybka's. It is thought that this is when his marriage to Anne dissolved, as Anne continued to live and work in NSW.

paragraph: In 1978, Dybka established her own art studio in the Argyle Arts Centre, in The Rocks, in Sydney, Australia, on Playfairs Terrace. Playfairs Terrace is a heritage listed row of four Victorian style houses. They contribute to the historic urban character of the Rocks, and are now home to the Argyle Gallery, which features Australian artists and Aboriginal artwork. Dybka diligently worked five days a week on the third floor of the Argyle Arts Centre located in Sydney working on sketches, drawings, and cutting glass. She described glass engraving such that “each piece must be a work of art…or it isn't good enough”. Whilst working in the argyle centre, Dybka used to hang a sign that asked that visitors only disturb the artist if they were genuinely interested in speaking to her about her art, as other distractions weren't welcome as she concentrated on her work. She is quoted as saying that “Glass Engraving is a precise art…You can't hide any little mistake that a lapse in concentration can easily cause.” Dybka operated continuously in this studio until she retired in 2005.

paragraph: Dybka is still listed as a notable resident of the Rocks, given her contributions to the area, however the works surviving Dybka in this area are not described as being an accurate reflection of her works. They are considered to be incidental to her residing in this space.

paragraph: In 1995, Dybka was awarded the Australia Council Emeritus Fellowship award. This fellowship is awarded to support outstanding established artists creative activity. It was awarded on the basis of her contributions which were deemed worthy of greater public recognition, which would inspire other artists. At age 82 in 2003, Dybka was awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM).

paragraph: Dybka is known to have engraved crystal for Orrefors glassworks, in the Swedish province of Småland which is known as the “Kingdom of Crystal”; for Baccarat, a French manufacturer of crystal; and for Lalique, a French glass design house.

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions and works.:Group Exhibitions.:Life Through Glass (1987).

paragraph: Life Through Glass (1987) was the first group exhibition of Australian Glass Engraving, and was dedicated entirely to showcasing glass. Dybka, along with Patricia Robinson, Annette Kalnins, Cecil Renfield and Alasdair C Gordon all contributed to the exhibition, which had a focus on the methods of presentation of the glass works. Dybka collaborated with a hologram expect, Paul Dawson on a series of holograms that would incorporate Dybka's engraving. She also had her works of engraved glass lit up by fibre optics, which created a magical effect, and in some cases optical illusion.

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions and works.:Group Exhibitions.:Works in the Beaver Galleries.

paragraph: In 1989, Dybka's works were on display at the Beaver Gallery in Deakin, which was showcasing sculptured glass and jewellery. The exhibit was called Sculptured Beauty of Glass and Jewellery. Dybka presented her works alongside Patricia Robinson and Annette Kalnins. Dybka had been working alongside Patricia Robinson since 1984 with Robinson noting that her own work had evolved over this time, as they worked together. As part of this exhibit, Dybka commented that she preferred using “subjects which had life and movement”, drawing on themes from poetry, drama and the natural world. On display, were several of Dybka's major works, which included five blocks on optical glass with a depiction of Shakespeare's The Tempest. These pieces when viewed from different angles would display further pictures, making them appear as though they were in the glass. This was achieved in conjunction with Annette Kalnins, and her work in the electronics industry. Dybka also engraved on blown glass pieces by Julio Santos, Brian Hurst and Setsuko Ogishi. Setsuko Ogishi's Rainbow Butterflies featured different coloured glass, influenced by the glass in which they were engraved. Dybka also collaborated with and combined works with jewellers Tony Kean and Angela Morrell to produce pendants, brooches and earrings as part of this exhibition.

paragraph: In 1990, Dybka contributed again to the Beaver Gallery. The gallery owner, Betty Beaver, was well known for her collection of merry-go-round, carousel and nursery book whimsical themed works. As part of this exhibition, 18 artists were given a copy of a book titled “The Carousel Animal”, and invited to contribute a work for inclusion in the exhibition. Dybka created a miniature engraved glass carousel, which revolved to the music used to greet guests to the gallery. The carousel featured four different horses, being a war horse, a riderless winged horse, a sea horse and a spirited poet's horse. The horses on the carousel were carved by Dybka, which was noted to be unusual, as typically this effect would have been achieved using a technique known as the intaglio effect. Dybka attended the breakfast opening of the exhibition alongside other artists who had contributed to the collection, and socialites.

paragraph: Situated at Atherden & Playfair Streets in the The Rocks, stands a bronze statue that Dybka was chosen to produce. The statue is of a miniature schnauzer, constructed in the likeness of a dog local to the area known as Biggles. Biggles was well known in The Rocks community, and regarded as a local character by the residents and shop keepers. Biggles's owner, Trevor Kelly would ride around on his motorcycle, with Biggles on the back of a milk crate. The statue is situated outside of where his owner lives. The statue was commissioned following the death of Biggles after he leapt off of a cliff in pursuit of a rat at Mrs Macquarie's chair. Dybka was chosen as a local artist to immortalise Biggles, as an important character to the area, and the statue was unveiled on 16 March 1995.

paragraph: Carmela Carabelli

paragraph: Carmela Carabelli, born Carmelina Negri (Melegnano, May 9, 1910 - Milan, November 25, 1978), better known as Mamma Carmela (in English: "Mother Carmela"), was a spiritual daughter of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina and a famous Italian mystic. She is described as an "apostle of Divine Mercy," as is Saint Faustina Kowalska.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life.

paragraph: Carmelina Negri was born in the May 9, 1910,the daughter of Gaetano Negri and Teresa Galbiati.

paragraph: She was integrated in the Catholic Action movement, in which, through its enormous enthusiasm and eventually influenced by some members of her family, who accompanied her on the growth of living the faith in the spirit of prayer, the love for Jesus in the Eucharist, the devotion to Our Lady and service to the Catholic Church.

paragraph: In 1926, she completed her studies and began work in a bank. She met Giuseppe Carabelli, a virtuous and modest young man whom she married on January 23, 1935. They had both always wanted a large family who could convey the "Good News" of a higher love, like that of God. Within her large family she came to be called by the diminutive and tender name of "Mamma" Carmela.

paragraph: In mid-September 1950, Carmela Carabelli made a trip to the convent of San Giovanni Rotondo where she met the supposedly stigmatized Capuchin friar and priest Padre Pio of Pietrelcina. She defined this trip as being "memorable" and it further increased her love for prayer and desire to do good. Carabelli became soon after one of Padre Pio's spiritual daughters.

paragraph: In January 1957, the first signs of disease were seen in her husband. In March 1959, Giuseppe Carabelli died. The Archbishop of Milan, Cardinal Giovanni Montini (later Pope Paul VI) pointed out the virtues of this unique and uplifting man, giving him his blessing.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Mystic life.

paragraph: On March 14, 1968, thirty years after the death of Sister Mary Faustina Kowalska and in the year when the process of beatification of this nun was formally opened by the Vatican, Carabelli felt an "interior call" in her heart. From then until her death, she reported several interior locutions received directly from Jesus Christ, while "Merciful Jesus" and Our Lady under the title of "Mother of Divine Love".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Spiritual writings.

paragraph: Carabelli in her spiritual writings revealed her interior locutions with Jesus in which He allegedly supplied some mysteries about his life, about God the Father as the father of all mankind; about Our Lady, who in turn will spoke on the person of St. Joseph, among other divine mysteries. Through this privileged personality, Carabelli began to travel the world. Her writings were already translated into major languages and distributed in several countries.

paragraph: In a letter from Monsignor Pietro Santoro, Bishop of Termoli and later Archbishop of Campobasso-Boiano, addressed to the publication "Fidelitas" in January 9, 1972, he says of the spiritual writings of Carabelli: "These writings are truly rich in faith and holy ardor for the Divine Cause (...) Her books will do much good to humanity that feels increasingly tormented and who lives far from God." In the previous year, he had already granted ecclesiastical approval "nihil obstat" and "imprimatur", certifying Carmela's writings as being in accord with the moral doctrine of the Catholic Church.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Death and burial.

paragraph: In October 1978, Carabelli suffered serious health problems but recovered in hospital in Milan. However, the following month, after receiving the sacrament of Holy Viaticum, on November 25, 1978, she died. She is buried in the Monumental Cemetery of Milan (Section 72 B, ref. 1855).

paragraph: Apelles

paragraph: Apelles of Kos (; ; fl. 4th century BC) was a renowned painter of ancient Greece. Pliny the Elder, to whom much of modern scholars' knowledge of this artist is owed ("Naturalis Historia" 35.36.79–97 and "passim"), rated him superior to preceding and subsequent artists. He dated Apelles to the 112th Olympiad (332–329 BC), possibly because he had produced a portrait of Alexander the Great.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Probably born at Colophon in Ionia, he first studied under Ephorus of Ephesus, but after he had attained some celebrity he became a student to Pamphilus at Sicyon He thus combined the Dorian thoroughness with the Ionic grace. Attracted to the court of Philip II, he painted him and the young Alexander with such success that he became the recognized court painter of Macedon, and his picture of Alexander holding a thunderbolt ranked in the minds of many with the Alexander with the spear of the sculptor Lysippus. Hundreds of years later, Plutarch was among the unimpressed, deciding that it had failed to accurately reproduce Alexander's colouring: "He made Alexander's complexion appear too dark-skinned and swarthy, whereas we are told that he was fair-skinned, with a ruddy tinge that showed itself especially upon his face and chest."

paragraph: Much of what is known of Apelles is derived from Pliny the Elder ("Natural History", XXXV). His skill at drawing the human face is the focus of a story connecting him with Ptolemy I Soter. This onetime general of Alexander disliked Apelles while they both were in Alexander's retinue, and many years later, while travelling by sea a storm forced Apelles to land in Ptolemy's Egyptian kingdom. Ptolemy's jester was suborned by Apelles' rivals to convey to the artist a spurious invitation to dine with Ptolemy. Apelles's unexpected arrival enraged the king. Ptolemy demanded to know who had given Apelles the invitation, and with a piece of charcoal from the fireplace Apelles drew a likeness on the wall, which Ptolemy recognized as his jester in the first strokes of the sketch.

paragraph: Apelles was a contemporary of Protogenes, whose reputation he advocated. Pliny also recorded an anecdote that was making the rounds among Hellenistic connoisseurs of the first century CE: Apelles travelled to Protogenes' home in Rhodes to make the acquaintance of this painter he had heard so much about. Arriving at Protogenes' studio, he encountered an old woman who told him that Protogenes was out and asked for his name so she could report who had enquired after him. Observing in the studio a panel Protogenes had prepared for a painting, Apelles walked over to the easel, and taking up a brush told the servant to tell Protogenes "this came from me," and drew in colour an extremely fine line across the panel. When Protogenes returned, and the old woman explained what had taken place, he examined the line and pronounced that only Apelles could have done so perfect a piece of work; Protogenes then dipped a brush into another colour and drew a still finer line above the first one, and asked his servant to show this to the visitor should he return. When Apelles returned, and was shown Protogenes' response, ashamed that he might be bettered, he drew in a third colour an even finer line between the first two, leaving no room for another display of craftsmanship. On seeing this, Protogenes admitted defeat, and went out to seek Apelles and meet him face-to-face.

paragraph: Pliny claims that this very painting had been part of the collection of Julius Caesar, but was destroyed when Caesar's mansion on the Palatine Hill burned down. While sketching one of Alexander the Great's concubines, Campaspe, Apelles fell in love with her. As a mark of appreciation for the great painter's work, Alexander presented her to him. Apelles is said to have been working on a painting of Aphrodite of Kos when he died, and the painting was left unfinished for no one could be found with skill enough to complete it.

paragraph: The renowned work of Apelles provided several exemplars for the narrative realism admired by Greco-Roman connoisseurs, succinctly expressed in Horace's words "ut pictura poesis", "as is painting so is poetry." Apelles seemed to have had a taste for elaborate allegory and personification, which he carried far in his rendering of Calumny, described by Lucian, in which an innocent youth is falsely accused by Ignorance, Envy, Treachery and Deceit. The story occasioning the painting was alleged to have been false accusations by a rival artist that Apelles took part in a conspiracy against Ptolemy IV Philopator. This almost led to the artist's execution. "In the Renaissance the exemplar of the poetic painting which was invariably cited whenever the art-poetry question was discussed was the "Calumny of Apelles", known through Lucian's description." Sandro Botticelli's panel of "Calumny of Apelles" was painted in conscious striving to equal the painting in Lucian's "ekphrasis".

paragraph: The Pyrrhonist philosopher Sextus Empiricus used Apelles in an analogy for how ataraxia (i.e., freedom from mental perturbance) is achieved. The acquisition of ataraxia was likened to the process where Apelles was trying to paint a horse. He wished to represent its foam (in Greek mythology, Poseidon created horses out of sea foam). He was so unsuccessful that, in a rage, he gave up and threw the sponge he was using to clean his brushes with at the medium, and its mark produced the effect of the horse's foam.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Apelles' paintings (none of which survive) included:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Alexander wielding a thunderbolt", one of the many he did of both Alexander and his father Philip;

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: An assessment by the classical scholar Percy Gardner in the "Encyclopædia Britannica" Eleventh Edition reads:

paragraph: Pliny connects a number of sayings to Apelles, which may come from Apelles' lost treatise on the art of painting. One comes from Apelles' judgement on Protogenes, that Protogenes knew when his painting was finished: "quod manum de tabula scirat"—"[He knew] when to take the hand from the picture." Another refers to his practice of exhibiting his works in the front of his shop, then hiding nearby to hear the comments of passers-by. When a cobbler commented on his mistakes in painting a shoe, Apelles made the corrections that very night; the next morning the cobbler noticed the changes, and proud of his effect on the artist's work began to criticize how Apelles portrayed the leg—whereupon Apelles emerged from his hiding-place to state: "Ne sutor ultra crepidam"—"Let the shoemaker venture no further." The last saying Pliny attributes to Apelles refers to the painter's diligence at practising his art every day: "Nulla dies sine linea"—"Not a day without a line drawn." Apelles was also reportedly asked why he touched and retouched his paintings so continually, trying to achieve perfection (at least in his own mind); to which he replied, "I paint for eternity."

paragraph: Pliny states that Apelles made a number of useful innovations to the art of painting, but his recipe for a black varnish, called by Pliny "atramentum"—which served both to preserve his paintings and to soften their colour, and created an effect that Pliny praises to no end—Apelles kept secret and was lost with his death.

paragraph: There can be little doubt that Apelles was one of the most bold and progressive of artists. Such was his fame that several Italian Renaissance painters repeated his subjects, in a vain hope of giving some notion of the composition of them. Raphael may have portrayed himself as Apelles in "The School of Athens" and Sandro Botticelli based two paintings—"The Birth of Venus" and "Calumny of Apelles"—on his works.

paragraph: Robert Marmion, 3rd Baron Marmion of Tamworth (died 1218) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and itinerant justice. He was reputed to have been the King's Champion but his grandson, Phillip, is the first Marmion to have a solid claim to this. Robert was descended from the lords of Fontenay-le-Marmion in Normandy, who are said to have been hereditary champions of the Dukes of Normandy.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Marmion first appears as a justiciar at Caen in 1177. He was one of the justices before whom fines were levied in 1184, and from 1185 to 1189 was Sheriff of Worcestershire. He was an itinerant justice for Warwickshire and Leicestershire in 1187-1188, Staffordshire in 1187–1192, Shropshire in 1187–1194, Herefordshire in 1188–1190, Worcestershire in 1189, Gloucestershire in 1189–1191 and 1193, and Bristol in 1194.

paragraph: Marmion had taken the vow to join the crusade, but had bought his way out of it. In 1195 he was with Richard in Normandy, and in 1197 witnessed the treaty between Richard and Baldwin of Flanders. During the early years of John's reign he was in attendance on the king in Normandy. In 1204-1205 he was again one of the justices before whom fines were levied. He sided with the barons against the king, but after John's death rejoined the royal party under the nine-year old Henry III. He gave a mill at Barston, Warwickshire, to the Templars, and was a benefactor of Kirkstead Abbey, Lincolnshire.

paragraph: Marmion died before 15 May 1218, whereupon his lands were placed in the custody of his younger son Robert Marmion the Younger until such time as his older brother Robert Marmion the Elder dropped his support of the rebel barons and came into the King's peace.

paragraph: Section::::Family and descendants.

paragraph: Marmion first married Matilda/Maud, daughter of William de Beauchamp of Elmley, with whom he had the following issue:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Robert the Elder (d.1241), of Tamworth, Scrivelsby and Normandy.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Mabel m. Hugh de Say of Richard's Castle

paragraph: BULLET::::- daughter m. William de Lizures

paragraph: and secondly, to Philippa, who bore him:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Robert the Younger, of Winteringham, Coningsby and Tanfield.

paragraph: BULLET::::- William, of Torrington and Normandy.

paragraph: Palmer claimed that he had at least the following three additional sons:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Geoffrey,

paragraph: BULLET::::- Phllip (d. 1276)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Manasser (aka Manser or Mauncer)

paragraph: but no supporting evidence was quoted. Banks identified Geoffrey as actually being the son of Robert's eldest son and cited the College of Arms as evidence. Manasser is recorded as being the son of a Sir William Marmion in evidence submitted by the Marmion family of Galby and Keisby at the National Archives and this is confirmed by various petitions. Seeing as there is evidence to suggest that the identification of Geoffrey and Manasser as sons of Robert is dubious it also seems likely that Philip is also misplaced and that Robert had just three sons, i.e. Robert the elder, Robert the younger and William.

paragraph: Nathan McIver

paragraph: Nathan McIver (born January 6, 1985 in Summerside, Prince Edward Island) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman. He played major junior in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) where he was drafted 254th overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. McIver played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Canucks and the Anaheim Ducks. He is known as an agitator and a fighter. He is currently an assistant coach to the Oshawa Generals of the OHL.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Selected in the second round of the OHL Priority Draft, McIver played three seasons for the Toronto St. Michael's Majors establishing himself as a stay-at-home defenceman. In his third and final season with Toronto, he recorded 26 points and appeared on the OHL's Third All-Star Team.

paragraph: Drafted in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, 254th overall, by the Vancouver Canucks, he made his professional debut in the AHL in 2005–06 with the Manitoba Moose. During his AHL season, McIver made his NHL debut with the Canucks, called up in lieu of injury trouble. With more injuries on the Canucks' blueline in 2007–08, McIver appeared increasingly for Vancouver, playing in 17 games.

paragraph: During the 2008–09 preseason, McIver was assigned to the Moose. However, required to clear waivers, McIver instead was claimed by the Anaheim Ducks. Making his Ducks debut on October 14, 2008, he recorded his first NHL point, an assist in a game against the Los Angeles Kings. He went on to play 18 games for the Ducks, before being traded back to the Canucks in exchange for right winger Mike Brown on February 4, 2009. Back in the Canucks organization, McIver returned to the Moose to finish the season. Becoming a free agent in the off-season, he was re-signed by the Canucks to a one-year, two-way contract worth $577,000 at the NHL level and $95,000 in the minors.

paragraph: On July 3, 2010, McIver left the Canucks and signed a two-year contract as a free agent with the Boston Bruins organization.

paragraph: With limited NHL interest, he accepted a try-out to the Hamilton Bulldogs training camp for the 2013–14 season. On December 13, 2013, McIver signed an AHL contract to remain with the Bulldogs for the remainder of the campaign.

paragraph: Robert Robinson (Baptist)

paragraph: Robert Robinson (27 September 1735 – 9 June 1790) was an English Dissenter, influential Baptist and scholar who made a lifelong study of the antiquity and history of Christian Baptism. He was also author of the hymns "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" and "Mighty God, while angels bless Thee", the former of which he wrote at age 22 after converting to Methodism. The latter was later set to music by Dr John Randall, Music Professor at Cambridge University.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Robert Robinson was born in Swaffham in Norfolk, on 27 September 1735, to Michael Robinson, a customs officer, and Mary Wilkin, who had married by license at Lakenheath, Suffolk, 28 March 1723. His father died when he was aged five, but his maternal grandfather, Robert Wilkin, a wealthy gentleman of Mildenhall, who had never reconciled himself to his daughter’s lowly marriage, disinherited his grandson, with an inheritance of ten shillings and sixpence. Robinson’s uncle, a farmer, had sponsored Robinson’s attendance at a school at Scarning, near Dereham, Norfolk, under Rev. Joseph Brett. When he was fourteen, Robinson was sent to London as apprentice to Joseph Anderson, a hairdresser of Crutched Friars; though Robinson continued an avid reader.

paragraph: Robinson pursued a detailed study of the Scriptures and early Christian authors, which soon convinced him of the inefficacy of infant baptism, compared with the baptism of believing adults. This caused him some difficulty after he settled in Cambridge, and where he had a large family of twelve unbaptized children.

paragraph: In 1752, Robinson was briefly converted to Evangelical Methodism on hearing the Calvinist George Whitefield, and in 1758 he spent a few months at a Calvinistic Methodist Chapel in Mildenhall. He was then invited to assist William Cudworth at the Calvinistic Methodist Norwich Tabernacle, but after a matter of weeks seceded to form a new Congregational Chapel in St. Paul's parish, Norwich. In January 1759, he moved again, to Stone-Yard Baptist Chapel, Cambridge, where he remained the rest of his life, first as Lecturer and then, from 1762, as Pastor. A new chapel was built for him in 1764. His congregation came to number more than a thousand. Robinson was able to buy an eighty-acre farm by the river at Chesterton, where he kept cattle and sheep, grew barley and wheat, and dealt as a corn and coal merchant with barges plying the Cam.

paragraph: Section::::Ministry and later life.

paragraph: Robinson's friends and occasional hearers at Cambridge included the Professor of Music, Dr John Randall (1715–99); Thomas Fyshe Palmer (1747–1802); John Hammond; Robert Tyrwhitt; and William Frend (1757–1841).

paragraph: Robinson was anxious to meet Joseph Priestley in Birmingham, and travelled there at the beginning of June 1790. On Sunday 6 June, he preached two Charity Sermons, in the morning at Priestley's New Meeting Chapel, and in the afternoon at the Old Meeting Birmingham, both in aid of the Sunday Schools of the Old and New Meetings. While in Birmingham, Robinson stayed in Showell Green, at the home of the Unitarian benefactor William Russell (1740–1818), Priestley's friend and sponsor at Birmingham. It was here that he died, in his sleep, in the early hours of Wednesday 9 June 1790.

paragraph: Robinson was interred in the Dissenters' Burial Ground at Birmingham, the ceremony being performed by Priestley.

paragraph: Section::::Views.

paragraph: Although Robinson had argued against Unitarianism for most his life, Joshua Toulmin records in his funeral sermon, quoting a letter Robinson had written 5 January 1788, that Robinson converted to Unitarianism. Robinson however, seemed to rebuff the notion that he doubted the full divinity of Jesus Christ, a doctrine held by the Unitarian Church. In a sermon he preached after he was accused of becoming a Unitarian, Robinson clearly declared that Jesus was God, and added, "Christ in Himself is a person infinitely lovely as both God and man."

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Of Robinson's publications, his most prominent are: "Arcana, or the Principles of the Late Petitioners to Parliament for Relief in the Matter of Subscription" (1774); "A Plea for the Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ in a Pastoral Letter to a Congregation of Protestant Dissenters at Cambridge" (1776); "History and Mystery of Good Friday" (1777); "History of Baptism and Baptists" (1790); and the posthumously printed "Ecclesiastical Researches" (1792).

paragraph: Menkare

paragraph: Menkare was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, the first or second ruler of the Eighth Dynasty. Menkare probably reigned a short time at the transition between the Old Kingdom period and the First Intermediate Period, in the early 22nd century BC. The rapid succession of brief reigns at the time suggests times of hardship, possibly related to a widespread aridification of the Middle East, known as the 4.2 kiloyear event. As a pharaoh of the Eighth Dynasty, according to Manetho, Menkare's seat of power would have been Memphis.

paragraph: Section::::Attestations.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Historical source

paragraph: Menkare's only secure historical source is the Abydos king list, a list of kings redacted during the reign of Seti I for religious purposes and which today serves as the primary historical source for kings of the early First Intermediate Period. The praenomen "Menkare" appears on the 41st entry of the list. Another king list redacted during the early Ramesside period, the Turin canon, may have listed Menkare as well. Unfortunately, a large lacuna affects the papyrus of the canon where Menkare's name would have been listed.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Contemporaneous source

paragraph: The tomb of queen Neit in South Saqqara houses a relief showing the queen in front of a damaged royal cartouche. The Egyptologist Percy Newberry proposed that the cartouche reads "Menkare", which would thus be the sole contemporaneous attestation for this king having survived to this day. This opinion is shared by Gae Callender, who reexamined Jéquier's plates of the inscription.

paragraph: BULLET::::- A source from a later period

paragraph: Another possible, though not contemporaneous, attestation of Menkare is a cylinder seal made of glazed steatite, now in the British Museum under the catalog number 30557, and inscribed with the text ""The Good God, Lord of the Two Lands, Menkare"". The seal dates to the 26th Dynasty, some 1700 years after Menkare's lifetime. The attribution of the seal to Menkare is unlikely: given that Menkare is a rather obscure king, some scholars have suggested instead that the seal bears a mistake and actually refers to the better known pharaoh "Menkaure", builder of the third pyramid of Giza.

paragraph: Section::::Refuted identification with Nitocris.

paragraph: In an old hypothesis, the Egyptologist Flinders Petrie suggested that Menkare should be equated with queen Nitocris, a legendary figure appearing in Herodotus' "Histories" and Manetho's "Aegyptiaca" and who is believed to have lived close to Menkare's lifetime. Petrie based his hypothesis on the fact that Nitocris is credited with the construction of the third pyramid of Giza by Manetho. Since this pyramid was in fact built by Menkaure, Petrie surmised that Manetho fell victim to a tradition which had confused Menkare and Menkaure. Similarly, the seal would seem to be another manifestation of this confusion. Petrie's hypothesis has been thoroughly disproven by modern analyses of the Turin canon however, and Nitocris is now known to originate from the names of the real ruler Netjerkare Siptah. The attribution of the seal remains uncertain.

paragraph: Pietro Polani

paragraph: Pietro Polani (died 1148) was the 36th Doge of Venice. He reigned from 1130 to 1148.

paragraph: Polani was elected Doge over the protests of the Dandolo and Bado families because of his first marriage to Adelasa Michele, who was the daughter of his predecessor Domenico Michele. His opponents saw his election to Doge as a violation of a decree that sought to prevent public positions from being passed on through inheritance.

paragraph: Polani's reign was characterized primarily by external threats to the Republic of Venice. Between 1133 and 1135 the Hungarians captured important Venetian bases on the Dalmatian coast, such as Sebenica, Trogir, and Split. In 1141 Padua tried to expand its territory and influence at the expense of Venice, and tried to subvert the monopoly the Venetians held over the salt trade. At the same time, Ancona was infringing on the Venetian border zone in the south. The political structure in Venice reacted to the complicated and dangerous situation by establishing a council of wise men ("sapientes") to advise the Doge. The initially informal council included representatives of the previously dominant aristocracy as well as bankers and merchants. This gradually formed a new oligarchy that participated in ruling the state and during the ensuing centuries increasingly restricted the rights of the Doge. One of the first joint decisions by the "sapientes" and the Doge was the decision not to participate in the Second Crusade.

paragraph: Venice won new influence in the eastern Mediterranean by assisting the Byzantine Empire against the Italo-Normans led by Roger II of Sicily. Many of the noble Venetian families were violently opposed to supporting Byzantium, and the Patriarch Enrico Dandolo fulminated against making a pact with the "schismatic" East. But not even an excommunication of Polani by the pope could convince the Venetians to forgo the valuable commercial rights they received in Chios, Cyprus, Rhodes, and Candia (Crete) through their alliance with the Byzantine Empire. Polani himself commanded the Venetian fleet against the Normans until sickness forced him to return prematurely to Venice where he died soon thereafter. The fleet went on without him to decisively defeat the Norman forces of George of Antioch at Cape Matapan in 1148.

paragraph: Polani was buried in the San Cipriano monastery in Murano.
