šŸŽ² I actually caught up on my TTRPG terrain painting today. All you DnD/TTRPG miniature painters may now stare at me in awe.

I guess the one place itā€™s stuck around is I see lots of fabrics with some % stretch in otherwise ā€œhardā€ pants categories like jeans or even workwear styles (double knees, painters, etc.)

Hours of Queen Isabella the Catholic, Queen of Spain: Fol. 177v, St. Sebastian https://clevelandart.org/art/1963.256.177.b

This manuscript was illuminated by a circle of at least five highly organized manuscript painters active in the Flemish cities of Ghent and Bruges. The principal illuminator was Alexander Bening, who painted the majority of the book's miniatures. Manuscripts produced by this circle of artists are renowned for the decoration of their borders, which typically feature a rich variety of realistically-painted flowers, birds, and butterflies. This prayer book, called a book of hours, was intended not for a cleric, but for the private devotions of a lay person-in this case, Isabella the Catholic, Queen of Spain (1451-1504). Isabella's coat of arms embellishes the book's frontispiece. It is unlikely that the book was commissioned by the Queen herself; rather, she probably received it as a diplomatic gift from someone courting her patronage, perhaps Cardinal Francisco Jimenez de Cisneros. A Franciscan friar, Jimenez was dependent upon Isabella for his advancement, first to the post of Queen's confessor in 1492, and then to Archbishop of Toledo in 1495.

A collection of post-impressionist painters at the Vancouver A.G. with works by Cezanne and Toulouse-Lautrec etc. I came around a corner and there was this Van Gogh. It was like it glowed, the colours were so vibrant. I just stood and stared at it-couldn't understand why people were just walking by.

šŸ§µAn open question: Describe a memorable moment when you had a knock-out reaction to an art work? Like that whole body & mind swoon, a personal game changer. Mine was in 1988. I was in Manhattan on an art school trip, gallery hopping. I was in The Whitney, exhausted after a day of visiting galleries.

Virgin and Child with an Angel https://www.artic.edu/artworks/80530/

Sandro Botticelli was one of the most renowned painters of late-15th-century Florence. Here the tender embrace of mother and child and the Virginā€™s wistful expression are typical of his lyrical manner. Another version of this composition in the Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena, still shows the influence of the sculpture of Andrea Verrocchio and is probably an early work, made before 1470. The sinuous contours and softly modeled flesh of the Art Instituteā€™s picture represent Botticelliā€™s languorous mature style. Max and Leola Epstein Collection
