Ich verabscheue diese Bilder so sehr. Nicht, weil Memling ein schlechter Maler war, sondern weil ich weiß, dass der Mann rechts, Tommaso Portinari, 42, die 14-jährige Maria Baroncelli geheiratet hat. Ich weiß, dass es damals üblich war, aber... ja, ich kann mir nicht helfen, ich finde es abstoßend.
Hans Memling, Tommaso di Folco Portinari, um 1470. Ein Mann in schwarzen Kleidern hat die Hände zum Gebet gefaltet und schaut nach rechts ins Leere. Der Hintergrund ist dunkel. Hans Memling, Maria Portinari , um 1470. Eine Frau mit Haube, reichem Schmuck und Gewändern des 15 Jahrhunderts schaut nach links, die Hände zum Gebet gefaltet. Ursprünglich handelte es sich um ein Triptychon mit der Jungfrau Maria und ihrem Kind in der Mitte.

Put your phones away and grab yourself a good book! It's worth it. Definitely something I will do this evening.

Gysbrecht Leytens, Winter Landscape, 1600 and 1650, Detroit Institute of Arts

We don't have snow like that anymore which is sad. But the climate during the 17th century was not so pleasant either: "The little ice age" caused snowy winters but also famine and epidemics due to the colder climate.
snowy landscape with a casle on the right side of the picture and big old trees on the left. Some tiny people are working in the woods.

A portrait of a woman in baroque clothes. She is holding a flower wreath in her right hand and a flower in her left. She would be staring at the viewer but her head is covered by a mask and overgrown with flowers. It is a modern interpretation of a 17th centuy painting.

Goodnight. It’s Krampusnacht and my birthday, but am actually exhausted from coughing endlessly with this chest infection thing so off to bed.

In the 1500s book printing became common. But the art of calligraphy was still highly valued. Croatian-born Georg Bocskay wrote his "Model BoBocskaok of Calligraphy" (1561-62) to show his technical mastery.

Beneath a canopied structure, a wiry-haired animal, perhaps a sloth, munches on a twig. A Latin text based on Jesus's Sermon on the Mount appears above.

Albert Edelfelt was the leading proponent of Finnish Realism. The first Finnish artist to gain international renown in his own lifetime for painting scenes like this.

I find the play of colours on the snow - pink and blue and grey and yellow in contrast to the dark blue sky - absolutely mesmerizing. Also, I love wolves.

A pack of wolves in a snowy landscape. The landscape is mostly nondescript. A lone wolf is in the front of the painting. In the background are some trees, a small forest maybe. The sky is dark blue. The white snow shows a mesmerizing play of colours, of pink, light blue, yellow.

Oh my, my husband sent me this and I can't unsee it either...
Painting by Edvard Munch, "The scream", a person standing on a brindge, hands to their head and mouth open. The painting is a bit altered to make the face more look like a dog's face. Text is saying: "What if Edvard Munch was really trying to paint a dog with long ears, but he wasn't a good painter and people got all excited about this painting, so he just kinda went along with it? ON the bottom it says: "Well, now I can't unsee that...
