Agostino Arrivabene (b. 1967), “Anastasis”

oil on linen, 2010

This is from the ask game here!

Anastasis is a funny beast because I wrote it so fast, so it's not like I was particularly excited to write any given scene for very long; but the image that I started with, the one I expanded outward from, was the image of Celebrimbor forging his wounds and Frodo's, his memories of Sauron and Frodo's, into...something.

Initially I thought maybe it was going to be a ring. Or perhaps just Mairon: the core of Sauron, reverse engineered until he was closer to what he had been. Pretty quickly I pinned down the fact that what it was, ultimately, was going to be an attempt to understand, to get answers, and then I came up with an idea for what might catalyze their desire to do that, and then I was off.

So I guess the answer is: the scene I was most excited to write, in the sense that I got this whole story out of it, was the forging scene in chapter 7.

The General List (Archive) Of The Coptic Church Icons

A Project To Collect, Classify And Number All The Icons Of The Coptic Church

Presented by/ Gerges Francis Tawdrous +201203637319

(S. George Church- El Materiya District- Cairo- Egypt)

The Project Idea

I make A General List (Archive ) For The Coptic Church Icons- means- I collect, classify and number all Coptic Icons- let's give example to explain- I collected all icons about the baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ and put all these Icons in one folder and gave number for each Icon- by that all the Icons about the baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ are found in this folder and have numbers- that can protect these icons

I made similar folder for each subject (The Almighty Throne- the Angles- the Annunciation- the Birth of Jesus Christ- the holy family flight to Egypt- the miracles of our Lord- The Maundy Thursday- The Great Friday- The Resurrection ….etc also the saints Icons are classified and numbered in folders)

Shortly- the project aims to collect all Coptic icons and classify them and give numbers for them, by that each icon will have number and be known- this method can protect the Coptic icons from the negative effects of the new computer programs- and we may know the total number of the Coptic Icons and also the places in which these Icons are found because it's written under the Icons the places in which these Icons are found (especially for the ancient icons)- by this method the Coptic icons may be protected and that may save the Coptic Icons inherited through two thousands of years- also- this general list (Archive ) can be useful for the researchers study the Coptic Icons

The Project Contents

I published on my sites a group of The Coptic icons (classified and numbered)– the total published Icons are 6325 Icons- they are published as three groups

1st Group

The Icons of The Modern Coptic Church (painted after 1900 AD) the total is  3713 Icons

2nd Group

The Icons of The Ancient Coptic Church (painted before 1900 AD) the total is 1092 Icons

3rd Group

The Icons of The Byzantine Church (all times) the total is 1520 Icons -these icons are published on my sites on the next links and they are available for all for free- and it's just part of the Coptic church Icons- please note- the Coptic Church icons total may be more than (twenty thousands icons), and we hope you will help us to complete this general list (Archive ) to contain all the church Icons- for that- we entreat every one finds different icons in his house, church or monastery can be added to this general list (Archive ) to send these Icons to us to be added to this general list (Archive ) and by that this general list can be comprehensive for all the Icons of the Coptic Church

The Project Objective-

I try to find a method to protect the Coptic Icons- for that I created this general list (Archive ) to classify and number all the Icons of the Coptic Church- I found this method can protect the Icons because each icon will be numbered and known by that these icons can not be lost nor be faked- basically-I want to protect the inherited Coptic Icons from the negative effects of the new computer programs-        

The Attached Classification

The next pages are written in Arabic language-

I put the icons classification in the next pages- example- I put the Almighty Throne in the item No. (1) of this classification- and this item has 5 branches and each branch has some Icons- I write the item and its five branches- and I distinguish between the same item branches (for example- branch no.(1) shows the Almighty throne while The Almighty carries the Earth planet and the scepter or one of them- but branch no. (2) shows the Almighty Throne while the Almighty carries The opening Bible-…etc)

I distinguish between the branches because I don't put so many Icons in one folder- the published Icons are classified by this method in separated folders to be easy to reach and use

How Can Each Icon Be Numbered?

Example- how to know the Icon Number (1-2-3)?

This is one of the Almighty throne Icons because Item no.(1) is the Almighty Throne Item-

And this item has five branches and (2) this is branch number 2 and in this branch the Almighty carries the opening bible- and this branch number 2 has (35 icons) and the required Icon is the Icon number (3)-

Shortly the Icon No. (1-2-3) is the icon of the Almighty Throne while The Almighty carries the opening bible and this Icon No. (3) is the martyrs of Libya because they painted these martyrs in the Icon of The Almighty throne while He carriers the Opening Bible for that this Icon is The Martyrs of Libya Icon

The Icons Sources

The Byzantine icons are found on the internet with very good order

The ancient Coptic Icons I brought from the books studies the Coptic Arts and ancient Egypt civilization

The Modern Coptic Icons are found in the church Books and book shops and on the churches walls 

Can You Help To Complete This List?

The published Icons list has only (6325 Icons) but the Coptic Church has more than Twenty thousands icons- Can you help us to complete this general list (Archive ) for the Coptic church icons? All icons which are not found in the published group can be added and by that we can complete this general list (Archive ) to contain all the church Icons- for that we entreat every one to help us by all available Icons can be added to this general list -ALSO all advices, critics and suggestions can help this project please send to us- because we try to make a trustee general list (Archive) for the Coptic Church Icons- in absolute honor we belong deeply to the Coptic Church- our Hope and Light
