Monat Gallery Madrid -Belida

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.April 14, 2023PRLog — How many times in your life have you come across something which has drawn you in, deeply impressed you, and blown your mind with its power and energy? Like me, very few, probably. More intriguingly, what if that experience came about as a result of unexpected circumstances almost beyond your control, and took you in another direction? Now that IS interesting!

As a well-known figure much in demand within the fast-paced world of television, film, and literature, based in Newport Beach, California Candace Chambers-Belida has established herself as an effervescent, engaging, and inspirational advocate promoting the secrets of achieving success through personal relationships and overcoming adversity with her first book “The Secret Codes of Conduct for Marriage,” and her second book “Dare To Stand,” that highlighted her struggle and courage she had when her husband David Belida was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Finding her solace in faith she “Dared To Stand” believing in God. With a myriad of speaking engagements, she encouraged others to find their hidden strength in God, recognizing that “God Is The Final Authority Over All Things In Our Life.”

“Fast Forward” to today, she now faces a new change in circumstances, uncharted territory. She found herself taking on the new role of sole caregiver to her aging mother. This is emotionally tough and demanding which has enormous difficulties and challenges. However, from these challenges arose an extraordinary change in direction – a desire to find a place to cope with that change. Candace states “Art was birthed through her sadness and agony of watching the slow deterioration of her “Beautiful Beloved Mother” through dementia and aging, flooded by memories of an earlier time, she states that God saw her in her agony and spoke to her and said, “See things the way I see things, vibrant and full of life and color.”

From that moment forth she was spiritually stirred and embarked on a new journey. Her sadness was turned to exuberant joy and God surrounded her with an anointing. Through the move of God, the glory of God was shown and demonstrated through her paintings and her inner emotions were released. She would classify her art as “Happiness and Blissful Joy.”

Since sharing her artwork on Instagram, Candace has been inundated with outside interest and desire to purchase, promote and display her work around the world. She is thrilled to have recently signed a representation contract with the prestigious “Monat Gallery” in Madrid, Spain to display her works at their forthcoming tour exhibitions in Paris, Miami, Milan, and Monaco which first start in September 2023. This newfound gift as an artist has given her another exciting path and inspiration to follow in her fascinating journey through life. I would encourage you to view Candace’s surprisingly diverse artistic styles, demonstrating her natural instinct for creating works of impressionable energy and powerful emotions through her clever use of vibrant colors and techniques on her site: https://www.candacechambers-belidaartcollections.com

National Gallery reunites Veronese painting with Italian church for the first time in 200 years in digital exhibition



Gallery F

7 March 2022 – 3 April 2022

Admission free, ticketed


The National Gallery is to bring a sixteenth-century altarpiece back to the chapel for which it was created, for the first time in over 200 years, through a new digital experience.


Visitors to the Gallery will experience Veronese’s painting The Consecration of Saint Nicholas as it would have been seen in its original Italian church setting in 1562 by using virtual reality headsets. The free digital exhibition will be available in 20-minute ticketed sessions that will be available from the Gallery’s website from late January.


Through this innovative experience, visitors will be able to see the painting in its original chapel in the church of San Benedetto al Po, near Mantua, and explore the beautiful frescoes and architecture that once surrounded it.  Visitors will be able to choose from one of two virtual guides who will lead them through the experience: our curator, Dr Rebecca Gill, who explores the painting and frescoes, or the historical figure of Abbot Asola, who commissioned the painting from Veronese and reveals the threat facing the monastery at the time.  


’Virtual Veronese’, which creates a 3D model of the chapel, began as a research and development project looking at how the Gallery can share research with a wider audience by using immersive technologies to explore new ways of telling its stories.


Veronese’s ’The Consecration of Saint Nicholas’ was commissioned in 1561 as an altarpiece to hang in San Benedetto al Po, the abbey church of one of the largest and most important Benedictine monasteries in Europe.


The church had been radically remodelled and enlarged in 1539 by Giulio Romano, Raphael’s prime pupil and himself a great painter and architect.


The altarpiece remained in San Benedetto al Po until the 1820s, when it was removed from the church during the Napoleonic Wars.


The digital experience is accompanied by a recording of Gregorian chant, performed by Veneti Cantores. The piece of music is taken from a choral book that was produced at San Benedetto al Po in the 1560s and is therefore contemporary with Veronese’s altarpiece. The music that you hear is the same as that performed by the monks nearly 500 years ago.


Lawrence Chiles, Head of Digital at the National Gallery, London, says: ’‘Virtual Veronese’ has enabled us to understand how immersive storytelling can add depth of experience, meaning, and emotion to Gallery visitors’ engagement with our paintings.’


Dr Rebecca Gill, Ahmanson Curator in Art and Religion (August 2016 – March 2020), at the National Gallery, London, says: ’Through this project we are able to bring architecture into the Gallery and allow our visitors to explore for themselves what it might have been like to stand in front of Veronese’s painting some 500 years ago.’


’Virtual Veronese’ is curated by Dr Rebecca Gill, Ahmanson Curator in Art and Religion (August 2016 – March 2020), at the National Gallery, London.


This experience is for visitors aged 13 years or over.


Commissioned by the National Gallery and StoryFutures


Virtual Veronese was commissioned as part of the Gallery’s partnership with StoryFutures, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s Creative Cluster’s programme to drive innovation and growth in the UK’s creative economy.


Virtual Veronese is an exciting example of new forms of research and development funded by the AHRC’s Creative Cluster’s programme.


The immersive experience was developed and produced by Focal Point VR, focalpointvr.com


Supported by Howard and Roberta Ahmanson

About the painting

Paolo Veronese 

’The Consecration of Saint Nicholas’, 1562

Oil on canvas, 286.5 x 175.3 cm


Saint Nicholas lived in the fourth century and was a bishop of Myra, on the southern coast of modern Turkey. His relics were taken from Myra to Bari in Italy in 1087 and remain there today, which is why he is known as Saint Nicholas of Bari. He is the model of our Santa Claus because of a legend that he secretly made a gift of dowries to thee impoverished young women.


Veronese’s (1528–1588) painting shows Nicholas’s consecration as bishop, as told in the ’Golden Legend’. On the eve of the election of a new bishop at Myra, a voice revealed that a pious youth called Nicholas had been divinely chosen and would be the first to appear at the cathedral door in the morning.


Veronese depicts the entrance of the cathedral, where the senior bishop consecrates Nicholas, who kneels wearing a robe of emerald green, flanked by two older priests in white surplices. An angel descends with a bishop’s mitre (hat), stole (scarf-like vestment) and crosier (staff), proving that Nicholas has been chosen by God. The turbans worn by two of the witnesses show the story is taking place in Asia Minor. The consecration of Saint Nicholas is included in cycles of paintings of his life, but this is the only known independent painting of the subject. It seems to have been chosen to illustrate the importance of the call to the priesthood, and of God’s authority vested in a bishop.


Saint Nicholas kneels at the lowest point of the deep ‘V’ shape formed by the figures. The brilliant green of his robe is included elsewhere, creating a pattern of colour which, with the repeated rich pink, blue and white, draws our eye around the composition. Tiny dots and brushstrokes of white and yellow suggest the striped gold fabric covering the shoulders of the senior bishop. Streaks of white and grey define the folds and form of the foremost priest’s brightly lit white robe. Veronese paints just enough detail and then allows our eyes to do the rest.


Giorgio Vasari, the 16th-century artists‘ biographer, highly praised this painting in his ’Lives of the Artists’. It was painted for the abbey church of S. Benedetto Po, just south of Mantua, following its reconstruction under the direction of Giulio Romano. Veronese was commissioned on 27 December 1561 to paint three altarpieces with subjects from the lives of Saint Nicholas, Saint Anthony Abbot and Saint Jerome. A transcription of a lost document recording the commission says they were to be painted in the best available colours and specifies the payment the artist was to receive.


Veronese received final payment for the altarpieces on 30 March 1562, so he either started before the commission was formally recorded or he worked at incredible speed, the three paintings only taking him three months. The original architectural frames, which may have been designed by Giulio Romano, are lost.


The altarpiece of Saint Nicholas was taken from the abbey church and sold on the orders of Napoleon Bonaparte, when the French general took Mantua in 1797. It was purchased in 1811 by the governors of the ’British Institution for Promoting the Fine Arts in the United Kingdom‘. It was the first Old Master painting to be acquired by them, and they intended it to adorn a ’future National Gallery’.

Along with this, a Mainline Electric Multiple Unit (MEMU) service train will also be started between Gandhinagar and Veretha, which will prove to be very useful for the people.

It shows many uses of robots from the human-robot dialogue to agriculture, space, defence and other fields. In the Aquatic Gallery, an important task of satisfying children’s curiosity about the marine world, from whales in about 40 lakh liters of water, is going to be completed in Science City today. Along with this, the Nature Park is also going to be inaugurated at the hands of the Prime Minister today at an expenditure of Rs. 13 crore in an area of about 8 hectares. There are plans to convert it into a biological park as well.

It is a matter of great fortune for the Union Home Minister that world class development projects are being started in his constituency of Gandhinagar. Shri Amit Shah said that for this he expresses his heartfelt gratitude to the Prime Minister on behalf of the people of Gujarat and Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency.
