"Bushel: A Measure of Timeless Symbolism" The word "bushel" carries with it a rich tapestry of historical and cultural references. From the spiritual realm to artistic expressions, this seemingly simple term encompasses a world of meaning. In the realm of spirituality, we find John Of God, a Portuguese religious figure from the 16th century. His devotion and selflessness inspired countless followers throughout history. Just as he dedicated his life to helping others, so too does the concept of a bushel symbolize abundance and generosity. Roman art also adds its own unique touch to the notion of a bushel. In an early tile mosaic depicting fish, we see how this unit of measurement was intricately woven into everyday life. It represented sustenance and prosperity in ancient times - a reminder that even mundane objects can hold great significance. Moving forward in time, Edward Bushell enters the stage in 1670 as he delivers the Jury's Verdict. This momentous event showcases how language evolves over centuries; here, "bushell" takes on legal connotations as it becomes entwined with justice and truth-seeking. Artistic expressions continue to shed light on different facets of this multifaceted term. In Louis-Joseph Watteau's work from the late 18th century, we witness Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Boisseau; Bushel; Scheffel - an engraving that captures both practicality and beauty through intricate details. But what about human movement? The Human Figure in Motion reveals yet another dimension by showcasing a woman lifting a bushel basket in black-and-white photography. Here, strength meets gracefulness as physical labor intertwines with artistic representation. As we delve further into visual arts, pen & ink drawings come alive with The Harvest from c. 1895 - an exquisite portrayal where lead white gouache dances across paper surfaces like golden wheat fields swaying in the wind.
