Frederic Leighton (1830-1896) "Cymon and Iphigenia" (1884) Oil on canvas Academicism Located in the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia The painting is based on a story from Boccaccio's "Decameron," in which the well-born and handsome young Galesus was renamed Cymon - meaning beast - on account of his brutishness. One afternoon in May, Cymon chanced upon the sleeping Iphigenia, sensing at once that she was "the loveliest object that any mortal being had ever seen." Falling instantly in love, he became a lifelong devotee of beauty and philosophy.

Here are some process photos from the portrait I made for Magister Lorenzo Petrucci, in lieu of a scroll. It’s inspired by two portraits from the Italian Renaissance. It’s nowhere near period materials (acrylic on wood panel), but I tried to make it look authentic by experimenting with period techniques. I did a black & white/ burnt umber & white underpainting and glazes of translucent colors on top. The frame is from Creative Mark Museum Collection. It was a very intimidating project, but also really satisfying .

Here are the two portraits I used most for inspiration:

Franciabigio's Portrait of a Young Man writing, 1522

Franciabigio - Portrait of a Knight of Rhodes, 1514

listening to a CD I found in a charity shop called “the grand canyon��� with the subtitle “the americans indians [sic] music” and I think it might just be racist but it’s kind of bopping

#the information I can find online it's entirely conclusive but it might have been made by italians #or it might be a south american label #very unclear #the art work does it no favours

#WorldCoatiDay:

Domenico Guidobono (Italian, Genoese, 1668-1746) An Allegory, c. 1710-20 oil on canvas on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Although the label suggests the coati “was probably based on an animal living in a private zoo in Genoa,” its unnatural pose and overly stuffed body suggests Guidobono used a taxidermy specimen as a model rather than a living one - perhaps from his patron’s cabinet collection?

Coffeeshop au but the couple fistfight on the counter because the barista didn't give the client the essential small glass of water next to the espresso

#feel like only italians will understand #only south italians #the small glass of water is fundemental it's the last remnant of civilisation #it seprates us from animals #the small glass of water means an appreciation for art culture and their rituals #it represents fraternity and respect #never I have put foor twice in such barbaric establishment that did not show me the common courtesy of a small glass of water #next to my espresso #is there a sadder sight than an espresso served alone? #you might as well throw it in my face good sir #for you have clearly shown a carelessness for manners #my heart weeps for those who haven't known the ritual of the small glass of water #you may have learned of coffee as nothing more than shot on adrenaline through your vein not to enjoy but to inject #anywhere anytime you take it on the way to work in your car in public places with no shame no knowledge of the small glass of water #oh water divine that cleans and refresh will they know your soothing power for the tired tongue #will they know when to drink you once they've been faced woth two liquids an espresso and small glass of you #will they think it's a choice red pill blue pill or will they realise one serves the other #water is there to make you appreciate the coffee so might think of her as a handmaid to him #but coffee himself is made of water. So water serves herself. #Water to water ashes to ashes dust to dust #till everything come back in the breath of the universe #coffeshop au #ship prompts #ship
