幻想的なランプのような花。自生する国、季節を問わず、必ず月の出と同時に花が閉じ、その際に強力な睡眠効果のある花粉を撒き散らす。毒のボルジャ家はその花粉を利用した“ソスピーロ”という無味無臭の永眠薬を開発したが1748年に製法ごと歴史の闇に消えた。
Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) painted this, The Funeral of Patroclus, in 1778. It is his first neoclassical work & he would go on to be the master of the neoclassical movement. It was painted in Rome. Now recognised as seminal in his oeuvre, it was once a table top!
His portrait of the sour Andrews is one of his most famous. The landscape depicted is true to nature & you can tell that the sitter he empathised with most was the dog. Mr & Mrs Andrews (1748-9), Holywells Park, Ipswich (c1750) & Pool in the Woods (c1750-5)
The challenge for Gainsborough was that the only commercial avenue for an English artist in his time was portraiture. Nevertheless he painted faces with aplomb. Clayton Jones (1744-5), Conversation in a Park (c1745-6) & Portrait of the Artist, his Wife & Daughter (c1748)
