Cow shed, 1615, with nice dog in foreground but, er, witches lurking in all the corners. Help me out with this, Roelant Savery! Was this when you started drinking heavily?

Flowers in stone niche, w/ some lizards & insects. Vanitas stone is cracking, flowers will die -- but not these ones, painted in 1615 by Roelant Savery! Today is his day.

2/2 A whole landscape filled with birds, including a dodo, painted in 1628 by Roelant Savery. Memorialist of dodo's. It's his day.

3/3 Born on this day in 1500, Charles V, emperor of everywhere and an incredible traveler. Here, my copy of his portrait by Titian, done after he had (wisely) grown a beard.

2/2 Winslow Homer visits England: Three Fisher Girls, Tynemouth, 1881. They had their own stories to tell. And Homer (Winslow) was born on this day in 1836.

2/2 Women of Alexandria gathered to hear the preaching of Saint Mark. By Gentile Bellini, 1505. He had never been to Egypt, but had been to Constantinople. So he had ideas.

3/3 Too close for comfort: Dirk van Baburen pushes us up against Christ's pain as he is crowned with thorns.
