A man. His lute. His daughter. Her fan. Painted in 1629 by Thomas de Keyser of Amsterdam. Today is his day.
2/2 Watch what you do with that distaff mother! Some peasants, without visitors, by the Le Nain brothers in 1645.
2/2 Archangel Michael once again, with new and improved banner,1680. Favorite figure for Cristobal da Villalpando.
The Fighting Angels of Mexico City this one (Michael) by Cristóbal de Villalpando, who died (alas!) on this day in 1714.
2/2 Virgin in the Mystic City of God, because Cristobal de Villalpando did heavenly geographies too. And today is his day.
Below: Moses and the Brazen Serpent. Above: Christ's Transfiguration. Packing it all in there in 1683 with Cristobal de Villalpando, artist of the Mexican Baroque, whose day is today.
2/2 Joseph has made it big in Egypt and now messes with his awful brothers by claiming Benjamon as a slave. Unusual subject painted by Cristobal de Villalpando.
2/2 Another Annunciation by Cristóbal de Villalpando. No choir of angels or visiting sun, but this one does include a cat!
3/3 No, this is not the doctor you want attending to your head wounds. But that's what the peasants had, back in the day, as illustrated by doctor's son Egbert van Heemskerck.
2/2 More thrills of uroscopy, c. 1700: is young lady at the doorway pregnant? The doctor will be the judge of that! By Egbert van Heemskerck.
