MARITIMES TREASURES: July
The Halifax Madonna
And Six sell out east coast shows, six front page headlines;
|
|
Day one in Dartmouth, heralded in the appearance of 2 separate Madonnas. First is a 14th Century carving at $500,000.00, the other a worthless, yet priceless - tragic relic of the Halifax Explosion. Hanging on the one remaining wall, this scarred and battered chromolithograph was the only thing left of the home of one ladies grandfather when he returned to the house overlooking the harbour >
She keeps it to this day as a reminder of the tragedy.
The Halifax Explosion occurred on December 6th 1917, when the French ship, the Mont-Blanc, loaded with munitions and explosives, collided with the Norwegian vessel Imo, resulting in the the largest man-made explosion until WW II and Hiroshima. Most of his family were lost in the tragedy which claimed over 1900 souls.The picture now serves as a poignant reminder to us all, of one of Canada's worst unnatural disasters.

The Halifax Madonna
^ The Madonna Della Seggiola or Madonna della Sedia is a Madonna painting by the Italian renaissance artist Raphael. It depicts Mary embracing the child Christ, while the young John the Baptist devoutly watches. It is housed in the Palazzo Pitti collection in Florence.
