So I was browsing portraits of Mary Tudor, Queen of France and I came across a picture of a miniature in the Royal Collection Trust I have never seen before. I don’t know if it is her or not, so was just wondering what your thoughts on it might be.

https://www.rct.uk/collection/616471/mary-tudor-queen-of-france

When it comes to French hoods I don’t claim to be an expert. I am doing my research into them currently, and there is lots of misconceptions and generally speaking people have many wrong ideas about them.

One of them is that all French hoods in Europe were pretty much same. That people kept to mainstream French fashion and didn’t diverge from it.

Which is not true. In 3-5 countries in which French hoods appeared(France, Netherlands, England and then perhaps Scotland and Denmark), we can prove 3 had distinguishable styles. (We don’t have that many depictions proven to be Scottish or Danish.)

So, this picture shows French woman. I am sure of that.

You can tell by frizzy hair sticking out. That's French style which appeared probably in early 1530s-but there are variations to it across decades. I didn't finish my research into French examples of French hoods, so I am not sure that much about closer dating. However there is big similiarity to this portrait of Madelaine of Valois:

I don't know dating of this one, but Madelaine died in 1537. Yet the hair in miniature’s hair are frizzier, which suggest slightly later date than this painting. But not by much, the jewellry is of very similair style. If it was english examples I’d say based upon gown 1530s/1540s. But here i’d be guessing.

I found several examples where french and english woman wore french hood in exact same style. However the styling of jewels, the gown, and hair usually give sitter’s nationality away. Hair it is never styled in exact same way.

Generally speaking, up to reign of Elizabeth I, English ladies prefered their hair straight or slightly wavy, for lack of better word-more neatly looking. Briefly in mid 1540s there is few examples of hair being closer to wavy or curly(Catherine Parr’s two portraits done in same time and Mary I’s from 1544), but by end of Henry VIII’s reign it was out of fashion.

Instead they styled them neatly twisted next to forehead, wavy or straight(and french hood much more squished-more flat).

(Which certainly nobody doing hair in Becoming Elizabeth knew, because they never have them styled correctly.)

So it is not Mary Rose. Style of hair, style of french hood, the features, age, none matches. But I might have found the same sitter bit later in 16th century:

Not entirely sure, certainly good resemblence. Identity unknown.

So that is end of my thoughts about it, I hope you’ve enjoyed it.

On Thursday, "Robin Hood" operations – unauthorised by the government – provided free gas and electricity to schools, universities, and low-income households throughout the country.

Among the facilities provided free energy were public sports facilities, daycare centers, public libraries, some small businesses and homes that had been cut off from power.

The “Robin des Bois” operations – named after the English folk hero, Robin Hood – were part of a wider effort to force the government to drop plans to increase the retirement age in France.

Providing free energy was intended to “intensify the balance of power” in favour of striking workers, said Philippe Martinez, secretary-general of the GGT, one of the largest confederations of trade unions in France. “[It’s about] returning energy to those who don’t have it at all because they can’t afford to, and making it free for hospitals and schools.”

[...]

Plans to provide or cut power may also become more targeted. GCT Secretary-General Martinez denied on Wednesday that elected officials or specific individuals could have their power supply cut off – with some exceptions. “I would suggest that some billionaires who think that we don’t need to increase salaries and that everything is going well in this country could do with living the experience of millions of households who are facing energy insecurity,” he said.

Gustave Doré (1832-1883) "Little Red Riding Hood" (c, 1862) Oil on canvas Located in the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Doré has depicted Charles Perrault’s original "Little Red Riding Hood" of 1697 – rather than the later, sanitized versions, mainly for British audiences – and depicts the story’s penultimate moment, just before the wolf bites off Little Red Riding Hood’s head. Terror was often a key component in fairy tales which also had a moralizing element or subtext; romantic artists were drawn to these darker aspects of tales written for children.

Batfam Headcannon #8

Most of Bruce’s kids don’t call him “Dad”. On special occasions they do, and it’s always sincere.

But sometimes, when they want something badly, or try to get off the hook because of something they did, they will call Bruce “daddy” in their preferred and/ or native language.

Examples:

Damian: I found this kitten in a box, abandoned. Can we please keep him, Baba?

Jason: I swear that explosion wasn’t caused by me! Papi, do you think I would cause an explosion and not be proud of it? *he totally did it, but he’s on thin ice with how many he’s caused*

Tim: No, Papa! Please give me my coffee back, it’s only the first cup today! *it’s definitely not*

Casa: *ASL* Please don’t make me go to that Gala, Daddy, please!

Dick: Tati, can you please take a break and watch a movie with me? *Bruce is hurt and needs a break, but he’ll try his damn best to spend time with his kids*

And Bruce knows what his kids are doing, but he doesn’t care because they used such a loving nickname for him. He’ll let them get away with murder anytime if they simply use it. He’s a weak man for his children’s love and affection.

P.S. I hc Tim as French. Just to make it clear bc Papa translates as “daddy” or “dad” in English. Jason used “Papi” ‘cause it’s the Spanish word for “Daddy”. Just to clear up any confusion.

P.P.S. “Papá” is Spanish for “Dad”. I love my native language, but without the accent on the a, it means potato. Accents are awesome lol.

Anne Boleyn’s French hood

There are many versions of Anne Boleyn’s portrait with black french hood, lined by two rows pearls. It’s always same exact french hood. There is no change in design. Except in one case:

The one which is part of The Moseley Miniature set, has different French hood. The entire set is assumed to be 19th century made. However, I seriously doubt the Anne Boleyn’s miniature is of such date.

It actually is in full colours but I couldn’t find close up in colour.

But even in black and white version, the details are astonishing.

It is only one which has row of big pearls at back and small ones at front, and also the shape of french hood’s at back is in historically accurate way, which I don’t think any of the copies show:

(Although being black on black it might be hard to spot and without knowing it’s supposed to be there, it could have been altered long ago)

You might think this little detail is not accurate, but on bright enough paintings, it is obviously there!

Though sometimes styled bit differently. I believe there were variations on how woman could wear it. Holbein’s paintings and sketches have this detail:

But do recreations have this? Do copies? Rarely. Because they don’t know that much how the real thing was constructed.

And the most shocking thing about this, is this is not 1520s french hood:

Its design fits perfectly between fashion of mid 1520s and late 1530s/early 1540s. So this is most likely her as Queen! Not as single lady!

Each detail, each component of French hood-perfect fit for those times, flawless.

I am going to make very bold statement here.

Imo, there isn’t any depiction of Anne Boleyn’s French hood as accurate as this miniature!

It could be exceptionally well-made copy. True, few artists indeed could make such great copy. But we have to consider all the options. Because there might be another detail, which is not something you’d expect from copy, or at least not late copy.

In coloured version, you can see the vividness of blue in background:

Allow me to explain, why that is very significant.

Ultramarine pigment was once the most expensive blue pigment in the world.

There were substitues-but they never got the shade just right. Even the artificial ultramarine is slightly different from natural ultramarine pigment. Their particles slightly vary and when light hits natural ultramarine, it looks different. Only slightly, but different. It’s very subtle difference.

But to me, this one looks to me like done from natural ultramarine pigment and that was very expensive. Some famous painters could never afford it!

So whomever had this miniature made paid big money to have it done.

Which makes me believe that this is either original from life, or posthumous copy done during reign of Elizabeth I. Because her daughter could certainly pay for it, or somebody might have intended it as gift to Elizabeth.

After Elizabeth’s reign, it is highly unlikely anybody would bother using such expensive pigment. So imo it’s 16th century miniature.

Either way, there are many other surviving portraits and miniature portraits by Tudor court painters of this period. So for experts, after close exhaminiation, it shouldn’t be that hard to determine who created it! And that could then hint to when it was made and if it is indeed original or copy.

Just please don’t dismiss it as copy because it doesn’t look as the paintings of her you think you know and she doesn’t look pretty enough!

Miniature paintings are notoriously unflattering. If you compare full scale paintings and miniatures of anybody, almost always miniature makes person look horrible.

I hope you enjoyed it.

While looking around for Little Red Riding Hood things, I discovered this very interesting book by Philippe Jalbert called "Dans les yeux" (In the eyes). It is a visual retelling of Little Red Riding Hood that goes with a very neat principle. On the page on the left, you see what the Wolf sees ; on the page on the right, what the little girl sees. It gives some neat effects:

A party in Starkhaven 🪶👑🦊

Ending this challenge with a bang: Destan belongs to @brother-genitivi and she in this dress was just too gorgeous not to draw. It also gave me the chance to bring Alyra in this one too, I couldn't see her really kissing anyone... But like this? An homage to Starkhaven princess? Oh yeah, she would respect Destan enough and I'm now afraid of what these two could do if left in the same space for long enough. (Warden colours are blue and silver... Silver did look bad, so yeah. She broke from Weisshaupt anyway, switched to gold. Both her and Alistair look better with gold anyway. 💅 ) Thank you Leo for lending me Destan, and for the references to the dress!
