Trionfo della Morte

Trionfo della Morte — The Triumph of Death — (Palermo) created around 1440-5. Originally from the Palazzo Sclafanim now in the Regional Gallery of Palazzo Abatellis. Often attributed to The Burgundian artist Guillaume Spicre, also known as the Palazzo Sclafani Master, the artist remains uncertain. The fresco depicts a luxurious garden surrounded by a hedge. Death enters riding a skeletal horse, firing arrows from a bow. Death aims at characters belonging to all social levels, killing them. The horse occupies the centre of the scene, with its ribs visible and an emaciated head showing teeth and the tongue. Death has just released an arrow, which has hit a young man in the lower right corner; Death also wears a scythe at the side of the saddle, its typical attribute. On the lower part are corpses of the people previously killed: emperors, popes, bishops, friars (both Franciscans and Dominicans), poets, knights and maidens. Each character is portrayed differently: some still have a gri

Gironzolando per la casa di Claude Monet a Giverny, si può passare per la bellissima cucina decorata con queste maioliche blu e con le antiche pentole in rame (beh, non so se siano effettivamente quelle di Monet, ma sicuramente sono molto belle!)

Giverny, August 2023

Close-up of polished copper pans hanging in a row along the tiled wall of Claude Monet’s kitchen at his home in Giverny, France. The warm copper surfaces contrast with the kitchen’s distinctive blue-and-white patterned tiles and pale walls. The repeating pans recede into the distance, while more copper cookware and a small green plant are visible at the far end of the room.

Rückseite » Back, rear

Literally. 😉

I don't do well with crowds. When I couldn't deal with the jostling and general ugh-ness of the tourists vying for position in front of Venus de Milo, I simply went around back and had all the room in the world. And a great view of her tush.

A view of the back of the Venus de Milo statue on a red circular pedestal at the Louvre Museum. The tall marble statue is nude from the waist up with a heavy cloth slipping from her hips and exposing a slight bit of tush. In the background, a crowd of tourists with cameras are standing facing her front side.
