Charnel House
A charnel house is a vault or building where human skeletal remains are stored. They are often built near churches for depositing bones that are unearthed while digging graves. The term can also be used more generally as a description of a place filled with death and destruction. The term is borrowed from Middle French ''charnel'', from Late Latin ''carnāle'' ("graveyard"), from Latin ''carnālis'' ("of the flesh"). Africa, Europe, and Asia In countries where ground suitable for burial was scarce, corpses would be interred for approximately five years following death, thereby allowing decomposition to occur. After this, the remains would be exhumed and moved to an ossuary or charnel house, thereby allowing the original burial place to be reused. In modern times, the use of charnel houses is a characteristic of cultures living in rocky or arid places, such as the Cyclades archipelago and other Greek islands in the Aegean Sea.

It is considered to be Picasso's second major anti-war painting, the first being the monumental ''Guernica'' (1937), although it is smaller than its predecessor and unfinished. The painting is housed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Background This painting is considered to be an anti-war statement, yet Picasso was largely apolitical until the Spanish Civil War. His art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler said that he had been the "most apolitical man" he had ever known. The Spanish Civil War caused Picasso to become more concerned with politics, which led to the creation of his first ant ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
