Oh sigh, it's so warm; one fears the sun is against me, what with being a redhead and all.
@ProfJuneG I could probably do the puff ball hair now I reckon. As a redhead, I could definitely do the green!
@ArtAesthete would happily have Sargent and be Madame X, I reckon?

Manet, A Bundle of Asparagus (1880, Wallraf Richartz Museum, Cologne).
Manet was paid 1000 francs for this work by Charles Ephrussi, which was 200 more than the original commissioned.
@AlastairAlimac5 @ArtGuideAlex @nasjonalmuseet Munch was a prolific painter (some 1000 paintings & 1000s of woodcuts, lithographs etc). His painting was well established in the early 1880s, such as we see in this early self-portrait (on left). But there are others of that decade that share looser style of The Day After.
Michelangelo & Raphael were well-known rivals:
"You with your band, like a bravo,' jeered M one day.
"And you alone, with your hangman" shrugged R.
Raphael's reputation, unlike that of Michelangelo's, has remained consistently positive throughout the ages.
