#classicalrevival
Join us this evening (and every Friday evening in Lent) at 6:30 for Stations of the Cross and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Here we have Station VII from our set: Jesus Falls the Second Time. This is probably the most obvious use of classical sources by Ralph Adams Cram in our panels, as you can clearly see the artist taking as one of his sources the colossal horse tamers that have stood on the Qurinal in Rome since antiquity. #Episcopal #AngloCatholic #Lent #StationsoftheCross #ThePassionofChrist #HolyWeek #americansculpture #americanwoodsculpture #RalphAdamsCram #renaissancerevival #classicalrevival #horsetamers #dioscuri # (at Saint Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Church)

In 1936 Robsjohn-Gibbings recreated an ancient Greek mosaic for the floor of his Madison Avenue showroom. His iconic klismos chair, now reproduced by Sedaris, was faithfully modeled after examples from antiquity, such as found on a c400 BC stela (second photo).
