To start things off today, more shots of Dancer.
Here we have Vulcan At His Forge, a 1750 painting by Pompeo Batoni.
Charles Meynier painted Wisdom Defending Youth From The Arrows Of Love in 1810.
Ernest Bioche de Misery is the impressive name of this impressive painting. This 1807 painting was done by Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Trioson.
We finish today with Bacchus And Ariadne, an 1821 oil painting by Antoine-Jean Gros, evoking the old myth.
The Ariadne painting takes me back to when I went swimming at the Ariadne rock on Cyprus. The strong undercurrent made a mess of me and the girl I was with.
ReplyDeleteQuite a memory.
