That which shatters the silence, we call noise. That which enhances the silence, we call music.
Joh Kepler. Years of life: 1630 - 1930. Located in the city of Bad Wildbad, Germany.

Here we have a very interesting tombstone. If we look at the inscriptions, we discover that a certain Mr. Kepler lived an astonishing 300 years!!!
When I first came across this photograph, I assumed it was a memorial monument erected in honor of Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), the renowned German astronomer and mathematician, commemorating the 300th anniversary of his passing in 1630.
However, it appears that this assumption is incorrect, and here's why:
๐1. On the tombstone, it doesn't say Johannes Kepler, but rather Joh Kepler. One might assume that it is simply an abbreviation of his name. However, why would someone write only an abbreviation instead of the full name, especially if the person was of public significance? It doesn't make sense.

๐2. The renowned Johannes Kepler died in Germany on November 15, 1630. However, his grave was tragically destroyed in 1632 by the Swedish army during the tumultuous period of the Thirty Years' War.
๐3. In 1808, a small temple was erected in the area where he was presumed to have been buried. However, this temple has absolutely no connection or resemblance to the tombstone in question.
It could be said that we are dealing with two completely different individuals, and the tombstone has no connection to Johannes Kepler (1571-1630).
Therefore we can question whether the anonymous person buried here (Joh Kepler) actually lived for 300 years?!

On the Moon
We have to make an excursion today, to have a look at a piece of South American mythology.
A Columbian tale goes:
"When the Moon did not yet exist, a bearded old man named Botschika taught the arts of agriculture, clothing, worship and politics to the people. His beautiful but malevolent wife was Huythaca. She caused a flood in which most people perished. Botschika then turned her into the Moon."
Interesting, isn't it? We can deduce at least two things from this tale:
1. The Moon wasn't always in a physical position like today.
2. At least a part of the South American folklore identifies the Moon as female.
Let's see what else can be found in mythology!

Apollo and Marsyas, 1616-1620, by Bartolomeo Manfredi, 95.5 x 136 cm, Saint Louis Art Museum

The half-man, half-goat satyr Marsyas at left, paid dearly for his arrogance in thinking he could rival a god. He found a flute and learned to play it so well that he challenged Apollo, the ancient Greek god of music, on the right, to a contest. The victorious god cut off the satyrโs skin in punishment for his pride. The surprised look on Marsyasโ face, in shadow, contrasts vividly with the calm and illuminated demeanor of the god who coolly slices the creatureโs flesh.
It is no accident that the earthbound satyr stands before a tree, symbolic of the woodland, while the god is silhouetted against the sky. Bartolomeo Manfredi may have been a student of the Italian artist Caravaggio, from whom he adapted the close-up format of the picture and the keen attention to tactile surface qualities evident in Marsyasโ fur loincloth.

Ecstasy of Saint Catherine of Siena, by Melchiorre Cafร , 1667, Santa Caterina da Siena a Monte Magnapoli, Rome
The marble relief showing the Ecstasy of St Catherine of Siena was made for the high altar of Santa Caterina da Siena a Monte Magnapoli in Rome, and it's one of the most representative works of the Maltese sculptor Melchiorre Cafร , 1636-1667, considered one of the highest exponents of Roman Baroque. In this relief Cafร isolated the white marble relief against a background of various coloured marbles to achieve a strongly painterly effect: as the almost free-standing figure of the saint, elevated ecstatically on clouds, seems to float out of the framed, brightly coloured background, the traditional boundaries between the genres of painting and sculpture are suspended.

The saint is represented according to Berninian elements interpreted by Cafร , such as the highlight of the luminous and dynamic effects. Saint Catherine is depicted in ecstasy, with her hands crossed toward her heart; each limb of the sign creeps to participate in the breeze of air and light. Standing above it a cloud surrounded by cherubim while in the background - articulating the composition - which becomes thinner inward and emerges en masse towards the observer, a symphony of polychromic materials: lapislazzuli, alabastras and marbles of various types. The body of the saint, made of Carrara marble, has elongated proportions and flexes following a curved silhouette. What Melchiorre Cafร implements results in a perfect synthesis between all-round sculpture, bass-relief and painting.
