Rapa Nui (Easter Island) Moai weighing tens of tons were quarried of Rano Raraku tuff and transported kilometers across the island. Researchers have proposed at least five different methods for achieving this re-location. However, no previous studies have considered the structural engineering limitations of the moai transport methods themselves. This paper applies structural engineering analysis to the moai transport methods proposed by Heyerdahl, (Hunt&Lippo, Pavel), Mulloy, Love, and Van Tilburg. This event will be held on Zoom.

When a 25-year-old Anthony van Dyck visited Palermo during his transformative sojourn in Italy, he got more than he had bargained for. In May 1624, mere weeks after his arrival to paint the Spanish viceroy, Emanuele Filiberto, the city's most disastrous plague struck. Terrifying as it was for the artist, van Dyck's involuntary quarantine was a boon for the history of art. He used that time to create a series of paintings which transformed Saint Rosalie into Palermo’s main patron saint. In this docent-led talk, we will examine those paintings and some of his portraits to see what they can tell us about the power of painted imagery to comfort, and to reflect the times. Date | Friday, March 3 from 11 a.m. to noon Location | Online via Zoom Register here for free! Must register online to attend. For more information, please contact Alexandra Riley at ariley@timkenmuseum.org or by phone at (619) 550-5955.
