Russian propaganda today said- Ukrainian troops in honor of the birthday of Stepan Bandera!! They laid out his portrait from the corpses of Russian soldiers on the battlefield)))

Through moving portraits, Bangladeshi humanitarian photographer Mou Aysha gives a voice to those unheard. Portraits of working children, millions of children in the world are victims of child labor

Me by Paul Cézanne. #art
No, it's in fact a "Portrait of Gustave Geffroy". He was a French novelist that praised Cézanne before everyone else did, hence the portrait...
It took months for Cézanne to complete the portrait (Geffroy sat many times in his home during that time) and by the end they hated each other.

In the beginning of the 1600’s Rubens spend some years in Italy. Over there he made this portrait of Marchesa Brigida Spinola Doria (1606).
It's clear from her appearance that she was one of the (in this case Genoa's) leading noble families.
Pay attention for a second to 1) the direction of her gaze and 2) the perspective of the architecture behind her.
Both indicate that this particular painting was meant to be hung high on a wall, well above the viewer.
You would think these are coincidences but they are not

There's too little (classical) art on SoMee so l decided to stick with Rubens.
This painting is called "het pelsken" (1638) and features Rubens' second wife Helena Fourment getting out of bath. It was one of Ruben's favorites and he didn't want to sell it. After his death it went to her.
At the end of his life he only painted for his own pleasure, mainly portraits of his wife, children and his home.
Just imagine him around the house willing to make a portrait of you!

.
When he glimpses her fly by, you his charming indolent, To the chorus of the music nearby, blasting up to the ceiling,
He praises your harmonious and slow pace, And sauntering stardom with your deep blue gaze;
He dares to contemplate, in the fires of the glass that shades it, your pale forehead, adorned by a morbid enchantment,
There the night torches sky light, up and dawn, Her attractive eyes like those gazes of the portraits of saints,
He said unto himself, beautiful! and earthly cool! Her passive memory, regal, like a nightly melody,
Her gown, her crown, and her heart bruised like a peach, she is ripe, body and soul, for an interesting love.
Is she the autumn fruit of heavenly flavors? Is she an African vase waiting for seasonal raindrops?
Her perfume that makes him dream of rarest oasis, silently Caresses the pillow, then kisses the basket of bouquets,
He knows that eyes far too well, of the most solemn which, hides precious secrets; painful dilemmas,
She is a Beautiful basket, full of jewels, medallions without relics, Hallow, richer than himself, far into the Heavens!
But should it be enough to make just an appearance? To jubilate with a heart that hides and flees the truth?
Can his stupidity or his indifference make any gain? To this end, Mask or decor, he just loves her elegance.
Sincerely, @izge.
