English: The former Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church, 146 Edward Street at South Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, New York, April 2020. Founded in 1849 on land domated to the diocese by Louis Le Couteulx de Chaumont and with an Irish-American ethnic majority among its parishioners at the outset, the current church building is an odd Frankenstein's Monster: the transept and choir, seen here in the foreground facing Edward Street, were built in 1900 to a Gothic Revival design in brick by Max Beierl, previously of the firm of Lansing & Beierl, while the sandstone nave and narthex in the background increased the seating capacity to 900 people upon their completion in 1925. The parish dissolved in 2005 due to a dwindling population of practicing Catholics in the neighborhood, and the building was later purchased by Dennis Maher, a local artist and professor of architecture at the University at Buffalo who is buily converting it to a "design and building studio that will help foster a new crop of buildings in the city" (in the words of the Buffalo News).

English: Barnburgh - St Peter's Church - from NE
English: A portrait of Malcolm I within a painted oval, in profile, facing the right, wearing a claret jacket with an ermine collar, a gold strap hanging from his right shoulder and a brooch on his collar. This portrait is one of ninety-three bust-lengths commissioned to decorate the Great Gallery at Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh. It is painted by Jacob de Wet II, a Dutch artist working in Scotland from 1673. Together with eighteen full-lengths these portraits illustrate the genealogy of the royal house of Scotland from Fergus I (who ascended the throne in 330 BC) to James VII (who abdicated in 1689). De Wet’s iconographic scheme was based on well-known chronicles of Scottish history by the Renaissance humanists Hector Boece (Scotorum Historiae, 1527) and George Buchanan (Rerum Scoticarum Historia, 1582). The inscriptions on the paintings correspond with Buchanan’s list of Scottish kings: from left to right, these are the number and name of the king followed by the date of accession. The dates however are considerably muddled, by a later restorer or perhaps even the artist himself. Both real and legendary, their purpose was to proclaim the authority of the Stuarts as divinely appointed rulers of Scotland. Commissioned and paid for by the Scottish Privy Council, the series was intended to convey the power and greatness of the country’s governing body as much as that of their king. With no authentic likenesses on which to base his portraits of medieval kings, de Wet made extensive use of an earlier set by the Scottish artist George Jamesone, of which twenty-six survive in private collections. From this limited basis the resulting series appears rather repetitious. Much more important than their aesthetic merit therefore was the symbolic power of painting an extremely long royal lineage stretching more than two millennia. Buchanan, Rerum Scoticarum Historia (translation from 1751): ‘Son of Donald VI … A valiant Prince, and a good Justiciar, or Executor of Justice. He was slain in Moray, by a Conspiracy of his own Subjects, in the 9th Year of his Reign’. Number 76 in the series. Inscribed MILCOLVMBVS.I. 943. Provenance Commissioned by the Scottish Privy Council in the name of Charles II.
