$H Animals,= Hybrid.

Animals, Hybrid. In ancient and medieval art we find represented certain animals which are a combination of different species, such as centaurs (horses with their upper part human), sphinxes (lions wi= th human faces), &c. ILLUS. animalsh (1891a1)

<= /o:p>

Animals, Hybrid. This name is given to pictured animals composed of two different species: they abound in ancient and mediaeval works of Art; in the former, combinations of the human with= the animal form * are more frequ= ent than combinations of different animals; thus, we find centaurs, satyrs, tritons, and winged figures; in these the human form ever appears the nob= ler, nor were the animal forms rendered more bestial, but rather more human. A= mong the Egyptians, the animal form was conceived with more depth and liveline= ss than that of man; from the first the Egyptians were impelled to an admiri= ng observation of the former, by a natural tendency, as their religion prove= s; their combination, too, of various animal figures are often very happy, b= ut often indeed in the highest degree fantastical and bizarre. They produced sphin= xes (lions with human heads), lion-hawks, serpent-vultures, and serpents with human legs, all of which are symbolical. While the Greeks for the moat pa= rt retained the human head in such compositions, the Egyptians sacrificed it first. By extension of the term, HYBRID ANIMALS is applied to the fantast= ic animals so common in architectural buildings of the middle ages, especial= ly in the twelfth century. Sometimes we see the human head upon the body of a bird, of a quadruped, or a dragon; the head of a goat upon the body of a horse; doves, of which the body terminates in the tail of a serpent; eagl= es with the tails of dragons. We must not look for a symbolical meaning in a= ll these figures, although it is difficult not to recog= nise a hidden meaning in most of them; they appear to embody the popular faith= of the time as EMBLEMS; frequently they were but the freaks of fancy of the sculptor-masons of those times. When we meet the same figures in different countries, they appear to be copied from each other. FIGURE

* = Our cut represents a Nymph riding on the back of a monster which combines the for= ms of beast and serpent, with fanciful adjuncts. It is copied from a Grecian painting on the walls at Pom= peii. (1855f1)

$H Animal Painting.

Animal Painting. Some artists have so excelled in the representations of animals, that their pictures form a distinct class. Th= ese are usually of large dimensions, and the subjects are principally those of the chase; thus, we have boar-hunts, lion-hunts, deer-hunts, usually pain= ted with the view of adorning hunting-seats, baronial halls, &c. The anim= als are exhibited in all the wild energies of life, or dead, as trophies. The= greatest masters in this class of painting are the friend of Rubens, F. Snyders; J= . Weenix, M. Hindekoeter, C. Rutharts, P. Caulitz, J. E. Ridinger, and Lilienberg. Another set of painters who have delighted to depict animals as they appe= ar in the shambles or the kitchen, are, in fact, meat-painters; surrounded with the utensils of the kitchen and other consonant paraphernalia, they exhibit great pains-taking in their execution, but their excellence is chiefly mechanical. Among great painte= rs of this class it is sufficient to name Lansaech. Of painters of fish the = most famous are Gills and Adrienusen. "The mastery of the ancients in the representation of the nobler animals arose from their fine sense of characteristic forms. The horse was immediately connected with the human = form in Greek statues of victors, and Roman equestrian statues; there are anim= als of this description (dogs) of distinguished beauty; as well as bulls, wol= ves, rams, boars, lions, and panthers, in which sometimes the forms of these animals are as greatly developed as the human forms in gods and horses. T= o represent powerfully-designed wild animals, especially fighting with one another, w= as one of the first efforts of early Greek Art." *

$H Animal, Symbolic.

Animals, Symbolic. (Arch.) Symbolic animals are those fantastic monsters with which the surface of walls was covered both in ancient times and in the Middle Ages. Examples of them exist in the temple of Belhus, while the facades of our own Gothic cathedrals are sometimes entirely cov= ered with grotesque figures, the symbolic meaning of which has been interprete= d in various ways by archeologists. (1891a1)<= /o:p>

$H Animal Symbols.

Animal Symbols. Both in ancient and in mediaeval Art, animals have been extensively employed as SYMBOLS, in whic= h certain peculiarities of the animals depicted are taken as a means of embodying m= oral sentiments, religious ideas, &c. Not only the animal, in its simple, = perfect state was so employed, but combinations of various animals in one, hybrid animals, and of the human form with the animal, abounded from the earliest times. They are made familiar to us in the remains of Egyptian Art, in the recently discovered sculptures at Nineveh, and in the more perfect productions of Greek Art. In mediaeval Art, the animal symbols are drawn from the imagery of scripture, and they are chie= fly employed as types of the virtues and vices. The prudence of the ant and t= he bee, the submission of the camel, the fidelity of the dog, the vigilance = of the cock, furnished perpetual sources of meditation and reflection to the minds of the devout. The viler and unclean animals were also taken as a m= eans of exhibiting the vices. The ox typified pride; the fox, fraud and cunnin= g; the wolf, cruelty; and the leopard, constancy in evil. The hog was regard= ed as the emblem of impurity, and is the animal form generally assumed by demons. Animals were employed as symbols of the EVANGELISTS, in every age= of Christian Art, under a great variety of place and circumstance; sometimes= the Lord himself is typified by the four beasts: his manhood, by the face as = of a man; his almighty power, by the lion; his sacrifice, by the calf; and his resurrection and ascension, by the eagle. **

$H Annunciation.

Annunciation. This event in the life of the Virgin is frequently treated in Christian art. As a mystical subject it almost always formed p= art of an altar‑piece, whatever its subject, being let in either in the= spandrils or the predella. As an event the annunciation is a frequent subject of the early painters. The scene is laid in a house or porch, and the accessories are a pot of lilie= s, a basket of work, or distaff. The angel is represented as descending to ear= th and generally carries a lily or a sceptre, the latter being surmounted by= a cross. (1891a1)

Annunciati= on. (ANNUNZIATA, Ital.) This religious mystery= is one of the most beautiful, as well as important, in the whole range of Christian Art; from the earliest period it has been chosen as a most freq= uent subject. In the Manuel d'Iconogra= phie Chrétienne, by M. Didron, the treatment adopted by the early G= reek and Byzantine artists is described as follows: the scene is a house, or a porch, the Holy Virgin kneeling before a chair, her head slightly incline= d, holding in her hand a spindle, while she extends the other to the Archang= el Gabriel, who salutes her with his right hand, and holds in his left a lan= ce. Above the house, in the sky, is seen the Holy Ghost descending as a ray of light upon the head of the Virgin. At a subsequent period in the history = of Art, the treatment varied from this Greek formula: the Virgin is represen= ted seated or kneeling, the Archangel Gabriel bears a sceptre, which, at a la= ter period, was exchanged for the lily-branch, and this, in its turn, was by = some artists superseded by an olive-branch; and the Archangel was also crowned with olive, but the lily is the most frequent, as well as most significan= t. Gabriel is also frequently represented as an ambassador bearing his credentials, with attendant angels. By the early German artists he is represented as habited in the richly embroidered vestments of the priesth= ood. (1855f1)
