20230619_zia_c218_023 June 19, 2023, Ipswich, Suffolk, United Kingdom: Experimental archaeologists in Suffolk have recreated 1,300 Anglo-Saxon pottery by using traditional methods. .The new Anglo-Saxon Ipswich ware kiln has been built and fired by studying archaeological remains excavated from the Buttermarket in Ipswich, something never attempted before..Ipswich ware pottery was made in the town from c. AD 680-870. Jars, cooking pots and pitchers were the most commonly-made items, simple in design and grey in colour. .They were mass-produced and distributed throughout eastern England, and were some of the first of their kind in post-Roman Britain....Faye Minter, Suffolk County Councilâ??s Archaeological Archives and Projects Manager, said: â??These projects are important, allowing us to test archaeological hypotheses by replicating historical methods and techniques based on evidence from excavations. This can give invaluable insight into our history - the lives, skills and industry of people who lived in the past.â?.â??The results so far suggest that there was a high level of skill, knowledge and significant resources needed to successfully produce Ipswich ware, much more than we anticipated. There is more for us to learn and already the volunteers have come up with a plan for a second firing later this summer to test more theories..To fire the pots a replica kiln was built in Tunstall, which took three days. In April it was set on fire over a 27-hour period, with 100 beautiful hand-made pots surviving the process....Local volunteers from the Anglian Potters have been researching Ipswich ware pottery over the past year and conducting experiments with raw clay processing and making replica pots with children from Rushmere Hall Primary School in Ipswich..Councillor Melanie Vigo di Gallidoro, Suffolk County Councilâ??s Deputy Cabinet Member for Protected Landscapes and Archaeology, said: â??It is wonderful to see that the find (Credit Image: © Cover Images via Z

alb3605105 Erasmus of Rotterdam. Artist: Albrecht Dürer (German, Nuremberg 1471-1528 Nuremberg). Dimensions: sheet: 9 3/4 x 7 1/2 in. (24.8 x 19.1 cm) trimmed within plate line at top and bottom, slight margin at sides. Date: 1526.A Roman Catholic reformer and one the most important Netherlandish humanists, Erasmus of Rotterdam held a deep admiration for Albrecht Dürer, whom he praised in a eulogy as the greatest of graphic artists: "And is it not more wonderful to accomplish without the blandishment of colors what Apelles accomplished with their aid?" In likening Dürer to Apelles--indeed, in asserting the German's superiority over the Greek artist--Erasmus echoed a tradition dating back to antiquity of judging artists and the visual character of their work by the standards set by their predecessors. Dürer would certainly have appreciated the praise for his graphic talents. The portrait amply demonstrates the virtuous effects Dürer was able to achieve without the benefit of color or a liquid medium. Convincingly aligned at an angle to the picture plane, Erasmus stands writing in his study, with the books that indicate his substantial intellect and scholarship arranged around him. The vase of lilies probably refers to the purity of his mind, while the Latin and Greek inscription, prominently framed like a picture on the wall, underscores the scholar's humanistic interests: "This image of Erasmus of Rotterdam was drawn from life by Albrecht Dürer." Below are the date, 1526, in Roman numerals, and the artist's monogram.Dürer met Erasmus at least once in Brussels and twice in Rotterdam during a trip to the Netherlands in 1520 and 1521. Although he sketched Erasmus several times during his trip, he did not execute the engraving until six years later, and only then with the encouragement of his close friend Willibald Pirkheimer; apparently, for certain reasons Dürer had been disappointed by the well-known Protestant reformer. Dürer based the portrait on a medal of 1519 in Pirkheimer's collection by Quentin Massys and reproduced the Greek inscription found on the medal, which states: "A better portrait his writings show." Presumably Erasmus agreed, because he made known his disappointment with this portrait to at least two of his colleagues. And yet, Dürer's Erasmus remains one of history's richest and most powerful depictions of scholarly preoccupation and the humanist ideal. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
