Elegant outing on an ice-sled. Drawn by Hendrick Avercamp of Amsterdam, born on this day in 1585.
2/2 Frigid winter. Can anybody really be having fun? I sense that Jan van de Cappelle doubts it, and today is his day.
2/2 The women were studied for this Deposition, for the cathedral in Perugia. Involved, understandably, a lot of work on expressions of grief. By Federico Barocci, whose day is today.
2/2 While doing your grocery shopping, beware of pickpockets! Warning from Louise Moillon of Paris. It's her day.
Jacob dreams a stairway to heaven, with angels climbing it. But we dont' really see the angels because we aren't asleep. Yet. 1639 by Jusepe de Ribera, whose day was today.
2/2 Jesuit missionary with his tame lion. Because he has the power to overcome the savage heart! Painted in 1638 by Jusepe de Ribera, whose day is today.
2/2 Giulio Clovio. Came from Croatia to Rome. Studied after you-know-who. Became (acc. Vasari) Michelangelo in miniature. Died OTD 1578.
4/4 Pikeman, ready for action. As instructed by Adam van Breen in his drill book.
Fire! Wild fire in the forest, 1505, by Piero di Cosimo whose day is today. May 2021 be conspicuously lacking in such events!
Abraham van Beyeren, whose day is today, was more than just a painter of marvelous luxuries: here, ships in a squall, 1650, equally evocative in totally different way.
