Dr Janina Ramirez - Art Detective

Laluma

Art is the truest expression of the workings of the mind, free from learned language. More than that, it is the visual expression of culture, politics, society, religion, emotion, zeitgeist, channeled through the brush, chisel, or hands of creative individuals. Understanding art allows us to understand history: to pin it with images, and pepper it with the faces, colours, drama and expression of its time. This series is designed to give bite-sized insights into the world of Art History, bringing one image to life across a wide-ranging discussion with experts. History is never far from view, so each image will be expanded to sit within the cultural and historical context that produced it. Presented by Janina Ramirez Produced by Dan Morelle

#64 Staffordshire Hoard Helmet
Apr 2 2019
#64 Staffordshire Hoard Helmet
With Pieta Greaves and Dr Jenni Butterworth. The Staffordshire Hoard is the largest collection of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver ever discovered. Heavily damaged before it was buried, the 7th century treasure contains more than 4,000 precious fragments, approximately a third of which are now known to come from a single, very high-status helmet. From 2014 to 2017, the helmet was studied as part of the major research project on the treasure funded by Historic England and the museums which care for the collection. This extensive research enabled experts to identify the fragments which belonged to the helmet, believed to have been made around AD 600-650.Helmets of this period are incredibly rare - there are only five other Anglo-Saxon helmets known. The detail and bold crested design means the Staffordshire Helmet is likely to have had an important owner.It will never be possible to reassemble the original physically. Instead, the project explored how the original may have been made and what it looked like, enabling archaeologists to understand its construction better and test theories about its structure and assembly.The reconstructions were created over an 18-month period by a team of specialist makers bringing together ancient craft techniques and cutting-edge technology.View photos of the Hoard Helmet here.Producer: Dan Morelle-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Instagram: https://instagram.com/DrJaninaRamirezTwitter: https://twitter.com/ArtDetectivePod Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrJaninaRamirez Facebook: https://facebook.com/DrJaninaRamirezFacebook Group: https://facebook.com/groups/ArtDetective -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Art Detective Patreon Supporterspatreon.com/ArtDetectiveAmanda CookeAndrew RobesonAndrew WestBecky HeadBernard FildesbrittaCatherine Rowley-WilliamsChloe GuttridgeChris ChattertonChris DouglassColin BeebyDaniel Ramirez David ParkerFi CooperGeorge GreenIldi PelikanJanet LeeJennyJoanne Benjamin Dzho MckeownJoseph MaleczekKanidra McGillKeiran LancasterKevin CannellKevin Valdes ParraKirstyMargaret SzedenitsMargy Mayell Mark StackMCMatzMeg JonesMichele OlenderNeil HolmesNicola CaponNina RamirezPatricia McLeanPaul FlattPete BiggsPhilip CorlisQuoc VoRoger LittleStephen LawrenceTammy MillerTanchira ArjinkitVanessa RowlandsWayne Quigg Hosted on Acast.
