An Elderly Man in Prayer https://clevelandart.org/art/1967.16

Toward the end of his life, Rembrandt explored religious themes from an intimate perspective, producing a number of works for a possible Apostle series. The personal religiosity of <em>An Elderly Man in Prayer</em>, formerly attributed to Rembrandt, bears resemblance to such late works. Seated with eyes nearly closed and hands clasped in prayer over a large book, the figure appears still and introspective. While the dramatic lighting and dark color palette are reminiscent of Rembrandt's late works, this painting, formerly attributed to the artist, has since been assigned to a follower or a later eighteenth-century imitator of Rembrandt's style for reasons associated with the broad, flat brushwork of the garment, the poor handling of shadow on the hands, and the uniform treatment of the hair.

Male Figurine or Finial https://clevelandart.org/art/2010.436

This male figurine was probably once attached to a scepter or perhaps even to a fly whisk. There are traces on the surface that indicate the sculpture may have carried a medicine-filled package on its abdomen. The man seated with legs crossed and wearing a coiffure of Portuguese inspiration may represent a chief. His broken-off right hand would have held the carved imitation of a root called <em>munkwiza</em>, one of the most important chiefly medicines often buried in the earth of a chief 's compound. Perhaps the smaller figurine on the rear of the work, beneath the root-chewing chief, depicts a child holding onto his parent's back, though such imagery is more typically seen on female sculptures.

Tolstoy's descendants in family saga over Russian peace prize. A new peace prize backed by Russian President Vladimir Putin bearing Leo Tolstoy's name has divided the writer's descendants, bringing to mind the unhappy families of his novel "Anna Karenina" https://u.afp.com/5RBM

A snowy scene depicting a solitary figure walking in a winter landscape. The person is dressed in a gray hooded jacket and black pants, briskly walking past a large statue partially covered in snow. The statue, resembling the famous Russian author Leo Tolstoy, depicts him seated with a contemplative expression, wrapped in his clothing. Surrounding the statue are tall, bare trees, and light snowfall can be seen falling gently in the background, creating a quiet and serene atmosphere. The image captures the somber beauty of winter while evoking the legacy of Tolstoy amidst a dialogue about peace in present-day Russia.

Yes I'm sure. But if you look at how much reform many European countries need and how difficult it has been to make change happen, I suspect there are deep-seated reasons why countries have become less bendable to political will.

My conscience is troubled by finding myself in deep and profound agreement with every word from Eran Nissan. Clearly my heart aligning with him and Gershon Baskin and Israeli peace activists means that my antisemitism is deep-seated and irremediable. Is penance available, or am I an outcast?
