Historic Paint Restoration: Uncovering Hidden Angels
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.4 месяца назад
History is literally being uncovered in Old North Church’s sanctuary! Beginning in 1727, congregation member John Gibbs painted angels in the corners (or spandrels) of each arch and festoons of ribbon and flowers on the flat columns (or pilasters) between the arches. A paint study several years ago proved that these elements still exist under the contemporary paint. Over the next several months...

Writing Revolutions: A Conversation with Historical Fiction Authors

Recorded February 28, 2024. A great work of historical fiction transports audiences back in time in a uniquely human way. At its best, historical fiction makes the struggles of the past feel raw and emotional in the present, sheds light on those left out of the dominant historical narrative, and challenges us to consider multiple perspectives.

    Really fun listen. I love the history and all the different otigin stories. Side note: My favorite bit of lore was that the tunnels were built by crown loyalists for an easy escape if the colonists got hostile. Great to learn a bit more about Boston history. Great work.

    In my past life in the late 1770s I visited that church looking for work for two days. I was a German Republic immigrant born in the 1750s, that later learned English and American laws and fought for the winning side in the Revolutionary war as James. I died in Shippensburg Pennsylvania after the war was over.

    Having been involved with churches for 6 decades, I wouldn't be surprised if some pastor came in and advanced the idea that art was a form of vanity or idol worship or graven image. A lot of churches go through a "progression " or devolution that starts with a certain vibrancy and innocence, then falls under nefarious or controlling leaders who push outrage and reactionary ideas to gain more control over the people. Often, they'll make the most innocuous things - like paintings or bright decor or laughter, into a shameful thing, whip the people up to make "change", and then do the drastic change as if it symbolizes some kind of repentance or "turning over a new leaf ". In reality, it changes nothing, but doesn't give that leader much more power and control, as symbolized by the outward and visible changes to the church, the way the people dress, or certain behaviors.

    Mr. Noone mentioned that Ross was a native of Topsfield. Forgive me if I am mistaken, but I thought he was from Ipswich, in the village of Linebrook? Was Ipswich then part of Topsfield, or vice versa?

    The members probably thought the paintings were victorian and decided to paint it white to give it a colonial look.

    This is really fascinating. A wonderful production. They probably thought the paintings were Victorian and painted over them with white paint to give the church a colonial look.

    I can look down and see the church right outside my bedroom window. I'd go with the olive green on the cornice. Years ago, I worked in restoration for years as an apprentice under the late Italian master painter and restorer and furniture designer Aldo Pistidda. I'd love to skip over to the church and be on hand to help out in any way.

    absolutely amazed and how few losses there seem to be after 300 years. especially in churches, considering how much candle smoke wafts up into rafters and deposits on ceiling murals, not even mentioning huge windows = UV damage. the brushstrokes on that one cherub survived in almost perfect condition it's wild

    I was at the Old North Church as a child of about 9 years old and our family was traveling throughout New England to see several historical places. Your church was one of those places. I was in awe of the boxed pews and I thought it was a way to protect each family from germs from other people. But I like the real reason.

    1) Was there a separate entrance door for black people to enter (not via the front door), as present in many churches? If so, did children, apprentices, and white indentured people enter through the slave entrance (they were seated in the same location as black people), or did they enter via the front door, and then make their way to another stairway to sit in the gallery with the black people? 2) Were blacks still separate from children/white indentured people/apprentices even though they sat in the same gallery?
