I hadn't heard of Sofonisba until I went searching for an artist to go with the early Italian music. I'm impressed. There's this strange feeling of both tradition and a modernity that I never expected. Really enjoyed her.

Feedback requested: Do the text images help or hurt?

the coloring and stylizing on several of those looked like they mighta influenced El Greco some later on- possibly- things liek hand poses, skin color, etc- kinda sparked a memory of el grco in me-

Very interesting video at the link. Thanks.

I always appreciate these threads. Always nice to get a little culture on the Free Republic in between all the arguments! Nice touch as always integrating period classical music with the art.

This post was just lovely and a welcome break from all the ugly news.

I appreciated the text insertions as I hadn’t heard of the artist before and they provided context.

I loved the detail and the pets. Many of the pets look as though they could be in our living rooms.
