Beep beep. It's the birthday of the Russian neoclassical multi-tasker Alexander Brullov (1798-1877).He clearly liked himself a lot - see his self-portrait! Became a decent painter. Turned to architecture. See his Mikhailovsky Theatre in St Petersburg and the Pulkovo Observatory!

가을이 다 가기 전에.. 헤세(Hermann Hesse, 1877-1962)의 글과 그림
