Caspar David Friedrich, born OTD 1774: Abbey in the Oak Wood. The very definition of chilling and haunting.
J-L David, born OTD 1748: Napolean Crossing the Alps. Insanely aggrandizing. Obvs. the man was doomed to fail.
Another fine moment from the Mexican baroque: Cristobal de Villalpando being inspired by my work. Excellent taste!
Edgar Degas (born OTD 1834), like me, painted portraits of his family. Here, Uncle Henri and Cousin Lucie.
@peterpcullen Yes, there was a joust involved. Interesting that he plays it up w/ his many profile portraits.
My homage to Michelangelo, born OTD in 1475. One genius salutes another: I copy, then I revise.
