Following the discovery of a unique geometry at the heart of the sub- structure of his masterpiece Les Bergers d’Arcadie, research revealed that the 17th century French artist, Nicolas Poussin, was closely affiliated to a European wide network of enlightened intellectuals of which the English statesman, Sir Francis Bacon was a major figure. Bacon is considered to have had a significant influence on the development of what can be termed Rosicrucian philosophy, shared by many of his intellectual peers. Despite some variation in approach and belief, they shared in a noble, but at that time heretical, quest typified by Bacon’s utopian vision presented in his book, New Atlantis.
This was nothing less than the restoration of the mythical Golden Age through scientific discovery, personal spiritual enlightenment and social reform. Detailed research suggests that Poussin, well known to these intellectual circles, shared this vision and attempted to provide visual support and a means of covert, sophisticated communication through his art.
Guy Patton, a former teacher of mathematics, has always had a particular fascination for geometry and numerical relationships. An interest in history, architecture, psychology and religions led to his reading of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail and The Messianic Legacy. Intrigued but not entirely convinced by their allegations and revelations, he undertook his own research and published his findings in Web of Gold, 2000, and Masters of Deception, 2009. His latest work, involving a detailed study of Nicolas Poussin and his painting The Arcadian Shepherds, arose from one of these controversial allegations. His discoveries and unique conclusion are presented in Poussin’s Arcadian Vision: Search for the Golden Age, 2014.
The elephant in the room is the giant tomb, which wasn't mentioned at all. Especially the inscription on it. The figures all look like it as if they saw nothing like that ever before. Maybe 'Ego, is the tomb, meaning Death itself. I can imagine a golden age in paradise where no one ever gets sick or dies would be shocked to it's core if the inhabitants learn one day that death has somehow made it's entrance. Then the question is: why? What changed or happened?
Thank you for posting.
All hinges on how he sets the points. Anybody can put points on any picture into a pentagon, heptagon or other polygon. It would have some credibility maybe in conjunction with (newly) found texts by Poussin. Without any of that this is pure fantasy. Watching animals in clouds. And, there aren't seven muses, there were nine. Might want to consult Hesiod, my friend.
The painting is stunning and enigmatic..
This is great thanks
Very interesting and helpfull. Thank you.
the part about number 7 reminds me of what physicist Dan Winters has revealed also about this most magical number
I love Dan winter!
He then said "If i knew where the gold was , i would'nt be standing here ! What a pity is'nt it ! As if it is about gold ?
Well it is absurd, because the statements about the real nature of alchemy being about human consciousness rather than literal gold etc are certainly true, and true of what the people he's discussing were themselves interested in... but even if someone is interested in the whole Henry Lincoln aspect of this (or what is most reasonable to me, to still have interest in the details that have never been debunked, while of course dismissing everything that has been), they wouldn't be "looking for the gold" either, they would simply be curious about the exact nature of what that priest found in the grave he dug up, and the wealth he seemed to come into after doing so, going to Paris, and getting a copy of this and a few other paintings, etc.
All of that is what got this guy even looking for geometry in this painting, and I honestly don't understand why he feels the need to dismiss all of it, when all of those facts remain as true as ever, and the only things ever debunked were some of the later conclusions and speculation. Lol I never understood either why Lincoln ever felt the need to add all of the speculation regarding the Church etc that he did, when the original facts are fascinating enough on their own, either. It's unfortunate, because it seems like it's that speculation/religious/Dan Brown aspect that people want to distance themselves from, to the extent that many people like this guy don't admit to giving any of it credence when a lot of it is just simple documented history that Lincoln put together. Oh well.
@33:35 If Bacon was indeed the child of the Queen, then yes he would have been cousins with Sir Philip Sidney.
The Queen was not Elizabeth I but Mary Queen of Scots. Jacob Roberts' recent decryption of the Shakespeare funerary plaque has Bacon describing his own history and birth.
So who was it that came up with all the geometry stuff, who figured that was what was going on in the painting 🖌️🎨
Henry Lincoln
Arcadia is some mountainous area of greece... repeating without understanding. All this work, all around, without grasping the essential element.
The Arcadians, pre-Selenes.The operative word is "pre-Selenes."Unfortunately their ancient theatres,temples, epigraphs,tombs,etc.were destroyed and looted continuously since the advent of Christianity.There are very accurate descriptions by the ancient Greek historian Pausanias of what he saw in that region,he wrote a guide book (somewhere around 150 a.d).Many ancient cities had names linked to the goddess Selene,as far as Lacedaemonia.They were replaced by the names of Christian saints.No wonder secret societies,truth seekers, flourished later on in Europe.However,ancient Greek texts had already been ALTERED by monks so as to agree with the new faith.Probably the texts copied or saved by the Moors were a better source.Latin translations do not get close enough to the original because of the same Christian dogmatic intervention,too.
Gurdjieffians will be thinking about Heptaparaparshinokh... itself a seven syllable word
They speak to me
A tiresome concatenation of coincidences and conflated ideas 'with no real basis.
correct. Like a horoscope. Always true. Ridiculous.
A for effort. Sorry,, no. Nice try though. 😇✌
