    related to The sampling officials of the drapers’ guild, known as THE
    SYNDICS; painted by Rembrandt in 1661-62. The painting depicts the
    syndics who held office from Good Friday to Good Friday. The function
    of the syndics was to view cloth hung for inspection. These five cloth
    wardens, (staalmeesters; sample-masters), regulated the quality of the
    cloth sold in the city, and the book in front of the chairman is
    probably the sample book against which the cloth to be inspected was
    checked. It is known that Rembrandt had drawn upon compositional
    elements of Leonardo’s Last Supper for his painting, which now hangs in
    the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.)

  111. CARITAS ROMANA. The painter with Janine Pecorini. The
    strange legend which Renaissance Humanists called Caritas Romana, tells
    the story of a Roman General, who though honourable, was a political
    inconvenience. He was imprisoned for a false crime, and left to die of
    starvation. The goalers were unable to understand his survival until
    they came upon him being breast-fed by his visiting daughter. Moved by
    this example of filial virtue they released the General. Post
    Krafft-Ebing and Freud Western psychology however casts quite a
    different aura on the image of a young person breast feeding an older
    person. Incestuous desire to gerontophilia; infantile oral sexuality to
    sado-masochism, are common interpretations of what was once a Classical
    high-minded and edifying drama. This painting has also in mind the
    striking illustration found in a remarkable alchemical book of emblems
    by Michael Maier (a seventeenth century court physician to Emperor
    Rudolph II), called Atalanta Fugiens. Emblem II :“Nutrix eius Terra
    est”, - Its Nurse is the Earth - depicts a globe-woman suckling a
    child. By her side Romulus is nursed by a wolf, and Jupiter by a goat.
    The Epigram closes with the observation:- If an insignificant animal
    nursed such great heroes, Shall he not be great, who has the
    Terrestrial Globe as a nurse. These two formulas refer to the idea that
    knowledge/milk, can be drawn out/educare, by people of all ages.

    JOHN CHIVERS. Senior Caretaker. The kneeling figure holds a compass
    whilst directing his gaze towards a crumpled drawing of Sir Isaac
    Newton by William Blake. The coloured monotype, in the Tate Gallery -
    for which this drawing is a reversed sketch - indicates that Newton is
    sitting at the bottom of the sea. For Blake water was the symbol of
    Newton’s materialistic philosophy. In Tiriel, a poem illustrated with
    drawings but not published, Blake had already denounced the current
    view of childhood - deriving in great measure from Locke, that early
    forerunner of behaviorism and brain-washing - as a passive state to be
    ‘formed’ by ‘instruction’. The poem describes with scathing indignation
    the consequences of ‘forming’ a child according to the laws of
    mechanistic rationalism, imposed all from outside and regardless of the
    mysterious formative laws of life itself. Tiriel, the blind parental
    tyrant, is himself the product of such an education, and dies cursing
    those who, by compelling him into conformity, had denied him life.
    ‘Infancy’, Rousseau wrote, ‘has a manner of perceiving, thinking and
    feeling peculiar to itself.’ Premature instruction is ‘without regard
    to the peculiar genius of each. For, besides the constitution common to
    its species, each child at its birth possesses a peculiar temperament,
    which determines its genius and character, and which it is improper
    either to pervert or restrain, the business of education being only to
    model and bring it to perfection.’ So also thought Blake. Childhood,
    for Blake, is the purest essence of the spirit of life; the thing
    itself. The instructions of education can add nothing to Being.
    ‘Everything that lives is holy’, not by virtue of any added qualities,
    but in its essence: ‘I have no name, ‘I am but two days old.’ What
    shall I call thee? ‘I happy am, ‘Joy is my name.’ Blake in these
    seemingly naive lines is describing the nature of life as he conceived
    it. Joy - delight - and all life seeks joy as its natural state. For
    him, the mechanistic view of the universe - Bacon, Newton and Locke -
    was the enemy of life; life which is immeasurable, not to be captured
    or contained within the quantitative ‘laws of nature’. Blake recognized
    Newton’s genius, and therefore attacked his error, which was the
    triumph of materialism. ‘He who sees the Infinite in all things sees
    God. He who sees the Ratio only sees himself only’. In Blake’s view,
    Newton is thus the Self-obsessed rational man.

  137. THE DEPOSITION - THE BURIAL OF EDUCATION. This study,
    structured loosely on The Burial of Count Orgaz by El Greco, relates in
    atmosphere and design to KINDERTOTENLIEDER (Songs on the Deaths of
    Children) a cycle of five orchestral songs (1901-4), by Gustav Mahler.
    The poems were written by Friedrich Ruckert after the death of his two
    children. The fifth poem: - ‘In this grim weather’ - transformed by
    Mahler, is of exquisite beauty. The central pillar of figures in the
    Deposition, relate to the remarkable transition from bitter irony to
    unsentimental acceptance so movingly expressed by Mahler. The painting
    also relates to Robert Schumman’s Liederkreis Op.39, setting to music a
    poem by Eichendorff; Mondnacht:- “Es war als hatt der Himmel”. The
    painting relates finally, to Richard Strauss’s Vier Letzte Lieder; in
    particular, the Hermann Hesse poem “Beim Schlafengehen” These pieces of
    music may be heard within the vicinity of this picture. A book of notes
    and studies - not on view - detail a large number of cross-references
    relating to this work. The metaphor of the soul of the dead child
    rising to ‘heaven’ is of great significance to this project on
    education. This painting may be seen as the heart in the body of this
    collection.
