Venus and Cupid, 1540s. Hitler stole this for his personal collection. But that wasn't fault of its painter Paris Bordone, whose day has been today.
2/2 Gladiators just keep gladiating in Paris Bordone’s strange scene.
4/4 Still with Ulysses, here he is sacrificing to Pluto. But not by Primaticcio -- this one's by me after him. A bit of homage, on his day.
2/2 Dosso Dossi: allegory of knowledge, with globe and compass. An aspiration for us all!
The jug. Is empty. Alas! At the end of Cornelis Dusart’s day.
2/2 Such a nice family. Cheerful kids. Good dog. And then there's mum, sitting by window w/ boobs hanging out. By Cornelis Dusart, born OTD 1660.
2/2 Man. Reading. Drawn by Cornelis Dusart, who was born on this day in 1660.
Cornelis Dusart (#BTD 1660) appreciated that peasants too liked a good book! Hope you're enjoying one this evening too.
2/2 Lunch time and that beer is excellent! Two men in a kitchen, 1687, by Cornelis Dusart. Today is his day.
2/2 Peace: burial at sea. By J.M.W. Turner (born OTD in 1775) commemorating the burial of his friend & colleague, artist David Wilkie, who'd died on the way home from Jerusalem in 1841.
