THE SENTRY, 1654 by CAREL FABRITIUS

There is a sleeping sentry in front of the three structures: the wall, the column and the arch. A little black dog looks at the sleeping sentry as he snoozes. In the archway above us, we can see a relief of St. ANTHONY the GREAT, patron saint of agriculture and farm animals.(identifiable by the pig standing at his feet).

This painting, which was finished the year before FABRITIUS’s untimely death, shows the artist’s preference for vivid colors, bright light, atmospheric tones and his willingness to use geometric architectural shapes to create narrative weirdness.

One of the reasons THE SENTRY has stayed with historians all these years is its formalism and lack of closure; it’s neither a cohesive narrative nor a metaphor for a painting. For example, on the street corner where the sleeping sentry sits, there’s a series of irregular architectural shapes that place the soldier’s body in an unclassifiable place.

According to the analysis, the artist planned to have a second figure walk on the wall beyond the gate, although it is not clear what narrative purpose this figure would serve. It has been suggested that he (or she) could have served as an antagonist, a threat to the unseen sentry. However, the inclusion of this figure would only add to the mystery of the painting.

No more trans doom scrolling! Today we are embracing trans hedonism!

T4t love, polyamory, queer platonic relationships, and friendships are so beautiful! Embrace pleasure, embrace rest, embrace yourself and all those you love! Eat that cake, kiss that person, take that nap, enjoy your life! Today I call for an era of radical trans joy!

Seahorse pendant, the pouch is baroque pearl. After a lovely courtship ceremony, females deposit eggs to male seahorses' pouches and males carry the eggs and give birth.

ALLEGORY OF THE CATHOLIC FAITH, ca. 1670–72 by JOHANNES VERMEER

It is widely accepted by most scholars that the woman of Allegory is the penance-worshipping MARY MAGDELENE, a symbol of belief in CHRIST and the CATHOLIC FAITH. Her foot rests on a globe she seems ready to cast aside: she is abandoning worldly life for the life of CHRIST.

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw ALLEGORY was that VERMEER is imitating paintings that portray the Holy Virgin as she is portrayed in the Bible, but VERMEER'S version of the Virgin is very different.And the apple on the floor near MAGDALENE’s left foot is, obviously, the very one from EDEN.

In Allegory, the image on the wall behind him is a re-creation of JORDAENS' painting, "CRUCIFIXION," though VERMEER may have copied it from JORDAENS' original. The painting is believed to have been owned by VERMEER'S mother in-law MARIA THINS.

To the left of Magdalene is the home altar with what appears to be a missal and of course, the crucifix and chalice. Perhaps the ball hanging from the ceiling is meant to be a reflection, as in pondering, which is what MARY MAGDALENE. appears to be doing. Or maybe the artist is simply showing off his technical skills.

That leaves the leather screen to our right and the tapestry to the left. The tapestry appears in other VERMEER works (and in this case offers more proof that the artist used the camera obscura technique),
