MANY PROGRESSIVE mid-nineteenth-century artists, including Gustave Courbet, felt it was dishonest to paint things that could not be observed at first hand: for example, angels with wings. In fact, "Religious painting has disappeared," pronounced one critic of the Salon of 1857. Not surprisingly, Manet's The Dead Christ, with Angels provoked both surprise and anger when it was exhibited at the Salon of 1864.

In the passage from the Gospel of John referred to in an inscription on a rock in Manet's painting, Christ's disciples entered his tomb and found no trace of his body there, but instead two angels at the head and feet of the shroud. Recently scholars have suggested that Manet included the dead body of Christ in his picture because he had been impressed by Ernest Renan's best-selling book La Vie de Jésus (1863), in which the author claimed that Christ was a man, not a supernatural being.

There are other anomalies in the painting: for example, Christ's wound is in his left side, and, though Baudelaire pointed out the mistake prior to the Salon, Manet did not correct it.

Nevertheless, criticism was not all adverse. Manet's advocates in the press compared his ability to paint the human figure to the skill of the Renaissance masters upon whose compositions The Dead Christ, with Angels is closely based.

Manet's previously exhibited works had frequently been found lacking in psychological characterization, but this Christ conveys both suffering and majesty, and the pity and sorrow of the angels are equally moving.

According to Antonin Proust, his lifelong friend, Manet always wanted to depict the Crucifixion. Although that project was never realized, The Dead Christ, with Angels and The Mocking of Christ (1865, Art Institute of Chicago) indicate what enormous expressive powers the painter could bring to religious subjects.

The Mocking of Christ - Manet (1865)

Unlike his Impressionist friends, Degas was an essentially urban painter, who liked to paint the enclosed spaces of stage shows, leisure activities and pleasure spots.

In a cafe, a fashionable meeting place, a man and a woman, although sitting side-by-side, are locked in silent isolation, their eyes empty and sad, with drooping features and a general air of desolation. The painting can be seen as a denunciation of the dangers of absinthe, a violent, harmful liquor which was later prohibited. Parallels have been drawn with Zola's novel L'Assommoir written a few years later and indeed the novelist told the painter: "I quite plainly described some of your pictures in more than one place in my pages." The realistic dimension is flagrant: the cafe has been identified - it is "La Nouvelle Athènes", in place Pigalle, a meeting place for modern artists and a hotbed of intellectual bohemians. The framing gives the impression of a snapshot taken by an onlooker at a nearby table. But this impression is deceptive because, in fact, the real life effect is carefully contrived. The picture was painted in the studio and not in the cafe.

Degas asked people he knew to pose for the figures: Ellen André was an actress, and an artist's model; Marcellin Desboutin was an engraver and artist. The painting cast a slur on their reputations and Degas had to state publicly that they were not alcoholics.

The off-centre framing, introducing empty spaces and slicing off the man's pipe and hand, was inspired by Japanese prints, but Degas uses it here to produce a drunken slewing. The presence of the shadow of the two figures painted as a silhouette reflected in the long mirror behind them is also expressive and significant.

Here we can see van Gogh's style point at something to come later - cubism. Typically his style is longer strokes, ie Starry Night, to convey motion or movement of light. Here however his strokes are short - almost to pointillism, but this predates cubism by nearly 20 years.

There are many interpretations of this work, and unfortunately the author was alive long enough to write much about it and react to some of those interpretations.

It is my personal opinion that an artist is not a critic, and should not try to be, they should sit back and not try to explain their work. Because their words have a huge impact on how people enjoy it. And usually only hurts people's enjoyment and interpretation.

Therefore, I will not write any of what he has said about it, but I will say it is available if you want to ignore the joy of building your own interpretation. I will say it is simply a beautiful painting, painted with hints of impressionism, expressionism, even possibly cubism. This work is way ahead of its time, and was considered by some at the time to be the most beautiful American painting ever.

I wrote a few simple web apps to speed up production in a few departments at work, and I am loving coding with just Vanilla JS, after years of using React, TS, Vue2, Angular, etc.

But I feel like I have to be missing some tools since Js is older than time.

Here's my workflow:

1. Code in VSCode (auto-save)
2. I built an AHK script that automatically switches to Chrome and hard-reloads the page
3. Web Dev Tools are open in Chrome.
4. I find errors in Js, HTML, or CSS and alt+tab back to VS to fix it

I decided to turn my Switch to Airplane mode to avoid any new updates for totk. My expectation was things would continue as normal and I could still use all the glitches from 1.1.2 when/if I decided to do that.

However, on the day of the release of 1.2, my camera started acting weird. I was in Gerudo for the first time, and the camera would drift in one direction until I paused the game, and this would happen at random times throughout my play time, which involved traveling to places I had already been.

Does this mean Nintendo added self-destruct instructions based on a timer or something? What the actual fuck?

Nintendo is really pissing me off with these horrible decisions they've made.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Nintendo released 1.2 and removed some dupe glitches they call "Improving the game experience."

How bout you improve the game experience by making it not such a grind to do every single thing?

I like instructions written out more than a video, so here is how to make the Hoverbike 2.0. Glory to master swaze.

Setup

a. Find a flat spot.

• The depths have many flat spots
  • Yiga hideouts
  • Build caches
  • Forges
  • Boss pads

Disable Motion Controls

b. + Pause, R all the way, Options > Aim with motion controls Disabled

Learn how to do a backflip (you may want to practice a few times till you get the hang of it).

c. Hold down ZL (you can hold this for as long as you want) then when you're ready, Press X and Down on the Left Pad

d. Follow these instructions exactly. I will say when a measurement doesn't matter with "Sloppy"

From here on out you should not touch your left pad until the build is complete.

The Build

1. Take out two fans and a steering stick from your Zonai Devices Tab.

2. The 2 fans should be on top of each other and the steering stick off to the side

3. Grab the fan on top

4. Rotate it by holding R and pressing down twice - it should be flat with the small side facing up

5. Move it back behind the bottom fan - The distance behind can be sloppy, but it needs to be in line (again, don't touch the Left stick and you will be fine)

6. Grab the bottom fan, flip it just like the first one, and glue it to the top of the first one. They should be exactly on top of each other, but as long as you're close the game will snap it into place correctly.

7. Grab the steering stick and glue it on top of the other two fans. Again, the snapping will help you.

8. Walk up to the stack and jump

9. You should now have the option to press A to Control it.

10. Press A, and immediately press B. You should be standing on top of it, but not controlling it.

11. Grab the top Fan and disconnect it

12. Backflip. If you mess up, get off and Control it again and press B, you can repeat that until you get do the backflip right.

13. Grab the stick, rotate it once backwards by pressing down

14. Pull the stick towards you

15. At some point the snapping will want to connect the front of the stick to the side of the fan closest to you. Go ahead and make that.

16. Grab the steering stick And rotate once forward.

17. Move the setup forward, behind the remaining fan

18. Once you have some clearance, rotate it once backwards

19. Pull it towards you until the game suggests gluing the back of the Steering Stick to the side of the fan farthest from you.

The End

Save it as a favorite, and enjoy the huge upgrade.

Update: this no longer works as of version 1.2.0, only 1.1.2.

I've watched so many videos about dupe glitches and patch hacks and they all seem so confusing, but I was able to do this one very easily.

And it's so much easier than grinding in the tundra for hours on end.

And it works in 1.1.2

Setup:

0. Make sure you have the Mount Lanayru tower unlocked
1. Get 2 unfused weapons
2. Get 2 Gourmet Meats

• if you don't have any, the area around the tundra stable is good, focus on white foxes and wolves, although you can one-shot all animals in the head easily in this region by jumping off a horse and going into arrow-time

Create the meat-weapon cube:

3. Take out a gourmet meat, drop it and fuse it a weapon
4. Repeat for the 2nd weapon
5. Fuse the two meat-weapons together
6. Autobuild another pair
7. Fuse the green ones to the not-green ones, you should now have a row of 4 gourmet meat weapons fused together.
8. Autobuild and fuse another row of 4, making 8
9. Autobuild and fuse another set of 8, making 16
10. Autobuild and fuse a set of 4 meat-weapons, making 20.
11. You should now have something resembling a cube of gourmet meat weapons in your autobuild history. Save this as a favorite.

Get to a consistent fire in a very cold place

12. Fast travel to the mt lanayru SkyView tower.
13. Glide to the southeast and go to the spring of wisdom.
14. Find the treasure hunter nearby with a fire.
15. Sit by the fire till night (you may have to light the pile of wood to do this)
16. Continue to sit by he fire till night until you see fog. This means it's cold enough to freeze the gourmet meat.

Glitch 999 Frozen Gourmet Meats

17. Open the auto build menu and select the meat-weapon cube, but DO NOT BUILD IT
18. Just hold the purple formation in the air for about 4-5 seconds.

if you're using zonaite to build the formation you're doing it wrong!

19. 20 frozen gourmet meats will materialize.
20. Press B to close the purple auto-build meat formation and pick up all the meat.
21. You can do this until it stops being cold enough or you reach 999 frozen gourmet meats
22. If it stops being cold enough, sit by the fire till night until you see fog again.

Sell the Frozen Gourmet Meats

23. Go sell the 999 frozen meats for about $39k (it's in the cooked food section, not items like raw gourmet meat)
24. You can repeat this as many times as you want. I'm not sure if there is a limit to how much money you can have, but I'm pretty sure 39k is enough to buy everything for sale in the game at least once. And 100k is probably more than you'll ever need.

In the depths at 1574, -3117, -0646,

I haven't found the closest Lightroot yet, but I'll update this when I do.

It's guarded by 5 yellow and 2 blue Cave Trolls that are on the roof of what looks like a skeleton. If you're coming from the west it may be hard to see.

There's also a few more huge zonaite and non-zonaite sites at 1292, -2922, -0601. I'm guessing there's a bunch all around the Spirit Temple, which is below the Bronas Forest.
