@EduardHabsburg Actually my argument with the fresco is the figure of Mary. It looks as if Christ has rised His hand to Her and She has shrunk back from Him
@ChivalryGuild Rubens later painted a portrait of George and the princess after the defeat of the dragon. St George is Charles l and the princess is his Queen- the landscape is the Thames valley
@RCCoulombe By the by the present Queen added these baroque portraits of James lll to the royal collection- they are by a French artist Blanchet.
At Boscobel the king and Carless spent a day up an oak tree as soldiers sheared the forest beneath- Hence ‘Oak apple day’ The present Royal Oak is a descendant @orapronobisdeum @RCCoulombe @johnmccumber @zarahandley
@AlbertoMiguelF5 @RCCoulombe @425Noelle @zarahandley @orapronobisdeum A side note one of Winterhalter’s greatest paintings was Eugene and her ladies in waiting - he actually later used the same pose for a picture of nude nymphs- a present from the supposedly prudish Queen Victoria to Albert
The portraits of Pierrot Annigoni (d.1988) are well known- his religious paintings particularly those at monteCassino and st Anthony’s basilica Padua are less well known @johnmccumber @Architectolder @TheFourMarks @GalahadofMalta
