Dr. Peter Paul Rubensさんのイラストまとめ

Masterful study of the heads of three French magistrates. Such wonderfully observed characters! Painted by my colleague Frans Pourbus the younger, who died (alas!) on this day 1622. @GerardAraud

2/2 A more earthy ensemble, starring corn and cantaloupe, from 1813. By Raphaelle Peale, whose birthday is today.

Three studies of dogs hunting hares by Pisanello, yet another dog-loving artist. Not quite as sympathetic to hares. Today is his day.

3/3 Cupid playing with the dog. Excellent way to spend Valentine's Day! Jacopo Bassano knows that, and it's been his day.

Martha & Mary welcoming Christ (& his dog) into their unusual indoor-outdoor kitchen. By Jacopo Bassano, d. OTD 1592.

3/3 Animals emerging from the ark. Noah (in background): Lord, I will sacrifice a sheep to you in thanks. Lord: Fool, you only have 2 of each animal! Noah: Brought an extra! By Jacopo Bassano, d. OTD 1592.

2/2 Alas poor Jane! Seventeen years old, queen for nine days. Then dead. In Paul Delaroche's painting, she is guided towards the execution block by Sir John Brydges, Lieutenant of the Tower.

3/3 Two landscapes by Albrecht Altdorfer (d. OTD 1538): a painting, and an etching with watercolor, showing scenes from the Regensburg area in 1520s.

4/4 Blazing sun sets over the mountains at the end of a long day's battle at Issus. Amazing work by Albrecht Altdorfer, whose day is today.

Died (alas!) on this day in 1538, in his home town of Regensburg, Albrecht Altdorfer. Here, Alexander the Great & Persian king Darius clash in Battle of Issus, painted by Altdorfer in 1529.
