Latest comment: 13 years ago by Ceoil in topic Acquisition by the Louvre

The text of this article " Few analyses venture to theorize the symbolism of the fragment of stone. As the skull may represent Adam, it has been suggested that the stone represents a piece of Golgotha.[1] Whatever was intended by van der Weyden or his patrons, it may not have been symbolically relevant to the Braque family, as they were well-established as advisers and financiers to the House of Valois.[1] " is in contradiction to the text of page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_mori which says of the same item " The outer panels of Rogier van der Weyden's Braque Triptych shows the skull of the patron displayed in the inner panels. The bones rest on a brick, a symbol of his former industry and achievement.[1] " — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.149.188.121 (talk) 13:33, 6 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Acquisition by the Louvre

[edit]

The article says that the work was acquired the year before the Duke of Westminster's daughter died in 1924, but the article in the New York Times reporting the acquisition is dated July 1913. Since she did in fact die in 1924, this statement is obviously wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikenlesley (talkcontribs) 12:56, 31 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
