Whenever sadness and disappointment settle in, I like to return to George Frederic Watts' painting, 'Hope' (1886). Stranded on a globe, blindfolded, Hope plays a lyre missing all but one string. Only she can hear the music. How beautiful and soothing it must be!

Watts's painting, Hope (1886), has inspired many. Last night remembered how Nelson Mandela had told him of the reproduction of Hope he'd kept in his prison cell on Robben Island. Image: G F Watts, Hope, 1886, Private Collection.

ロンバルディーニ『絵画解剖学の教科書』(1886)。解剖図はマティアス・デュヴァルの教科書からの引用。書籍サイズが特徴的で、ちょうど文庫本サイズ。このサイズの教科書は2冊みかけたが、どちらも当時にしては増刷の回数が多い。現代でもこのサイズの教科書が出たら売れそうだな。

For someone who needs hope:

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

🎨Watts, "Hope" (1886)
🎼Judy Garland, "You'll Never Walk Alone"
