Novo-Hispanic school. Mexico. Late 17th century. Nicolás De Correa (1660-1720)‘Adoration of the Ecce Homo, Man of Sorrows, Lord of the Green Reed, Holy Christ of Humility and Patience, or Most Holy Christ of the Cold Stone’. Oil on canvas.118 x 188 cm. A perfect scene enclosed in a painting of large dimensions, which looks like the passage of a suffering and serene Christ in Easter week in any corner of Spanish geography. The large scene, framed in period gilded cane, is completely filled by the central, mystical figure. Seated and serene, resigned and with all the acceptance of the divine will on his face, bearing our sins, he is silent and mute in the face of the executioners who mock, spit on him and insult him, as the Gospels narrate. Seated on a pilaster, or ‘cold stone’, as the text of John 3. 16 reads on its front:‘In hoc apparuit charitas Dei in nobis, qvoniam filivm svvm vnigenitvm misit Devs in mvndvm. Vt vivamvs per tvm.’(For this is why the Love of God appeared in us, because God sent His only begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.)Above Christ, two angels, flying and weeping, carry a wide, almost mournful phylactery, like a banner, with some verses from the Song of Songs 3, 11: ‘EGREDIMINI ET VIDETE FILIAE SION REGEN SALOMONEM/ IN DUADEMATE...., [QUI CORONAVIT ILLUM MATER SUA].... (Go forth, ye daughters of Zion, and behold King Solomon with the crown [with which his mother].... and so ends the verse, though he is not.... [his mother] crowned him on his wedding day, on the day of his heart's joy).The procession is opened by two angels, standing like ceremonial candle holders to the right and left of the central cross, which is Christ himself. One carries the cross which he will be nailed to and die on; the other, the pillar of his scourging and sufferings, with the cock that crowed at Peter's betrayal.On the right and left, all around the crowd that fills the back, are the angels of the Passion, sacredly carrying symbols and instruments of the Lord's Passion, ‘a great cloud of spectators surrounds us’ (Heb 12:1-4; Ps 21; Mk 14). In the box, on the left, are Mary Magdalene, Mary his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Clopas, the mother of James and Joseph; all with the beloved disciple John. On the right is Mark the Evangelist with the lion, whose gospel described this scene so heartbreakingly, amidst an audience of praying and worshipping saints. A picture for meditation and contemplation, ‘eyes fixed on Him who endured pain and the cross, who tasted death on behalf of all, tested by what He suffered, and who, suffering, learned obedience’. All perfectly described by the evangelist present in the picture.For all of us who approach this scene, it is a great spectacle in which we take part ‘as if we were present’. As the psalm says, ‘all who seek you, O Lord, and behold you, all who behold you, who behold in us also that wondrous spectacle of your own salvation’.Sadly, on the back of the canvas there is an illegible text, due to the use of bad ink, or the use of very watery watercolours, which the humidity and the passage of time have gradually erased.

Lucas (1911-1986), former President of The Royal Irish Society of Antiquaries and Director of the National Museum of Ireland.Since Classical Antiquity, humans have endeavoured to impress the inevitability of death and therefore the importance of living. The Latin trope ‘Memento Mori’ (Remember That You Must Die) is expressed through the world’s art, funerary architecture, and jewellery. Motifs such as the skull, the skeleton, the rat, the coffin and the earthworm have been employed throughout Classical history and later to impart a universal understanding of the term. Mourning Jewellery deviates from the former in that it commemorates the death of a specific person, usually by marking their death dates or even utilising their hair, skin or teeth in the fabrication of the piece. The execution of King Charles I in 1649 was arguably the first example of popular ‘Mourning Jewellery.’ Despite the grievances aired during his reign, culminating in the Second English Civil War and the dissolution of the Monarchy, Charles I had many sympathisers to the Royalist cause. After his execution, many of his supporters commissioned jewellery bearing his image and dates secretly engraved on the inside of the ring band or behind a concealed locket. This implied that these nobles had remained faithful to the Royals even during the period of the Commonwealth (1649-1653) and later the Protectorate (1653-1659) up until the Monarchy’s restoration in 1660, whereupon the wearer would hope to be rewarded for their loyalty to the Crown. Later in the 19th century, the untimely death of Prince Albert (1819–1861) provoked the reigning monarch, Queen Victoria into a lifelong state of mourning. The remaining forty years of her reign saw the macabre motifs associated with mourning jewellery evolve into decidedly more romantic imagery of roses, doves, angels, willows and urns. Typically, the piece was set with enamels and other complementary precious stones and ornamentation such as pearls, to symbolise tears, and jet for grief. The blackened wood of the bog oak became an excellent Irish alternative to the more widely recognised Jet used in Victorian jewellery. As a result, the bog oak ornaments, became the ideal transfer for the nationalistic motifs of a country on the precipice of independence. Imagery was favoured which further promoted the national identity of Ireland as an established state with its own identifiable customs and symbols. The most common motifs include round towers, shamrocks, abbeys, Irish wolfhounds and harps, all which serve to perpetuate a national identity for Ireland’s fledgling tourist industry. The use of Bog Oak for decorative purposes was not a novel concept as it had been chosen as the primary material for the Downhill Harp, crafted by Cormac O’Kelly in 1702. However, Mr Patrick McGuirk is generally credited with escalating the demand from what had previously been considered a cottage industry craft. Supposedly, in 1821 McGuirk presented King George IV and The Duchess of Richmond with a carved cane on their visit to Dublin. The Duchess commented that it would be preferable to carve in the native wood of the country. Taking this to heart, McGuirk attempted to carve on bog oak he acquired and finding it quite suitable, he commenced what would become a robust trade nationwide for the next 100 years or so. Joseph Johnson of 22. Suffolk Street, Dublin is credited with patenting a high-pressure moulding mechanism for high relief detail using heat and steel dies. This enabled the production of ornaments to increase, and it became a highly profitable business on a larger industrial scale. Other important names in the trade include John Neate (1796-1838) of Kerry, Cornelius McGoggin (fl.1850-1914) of Kerry and Dublin and William Gibson of Belfast and many more otherwise.Stephanie Brennan August 2024
