Those are the whitest ‘Egyptians’ I’ve ever seen!..............
We don’t call them “white” anymore, they are “melanin deprived supremacists” according to the left.
And I deliberately omit the whitest—can’t have blonde middle-easterners....................
Good Morning Dan, and greetings to all.
Really love the way you used each part of the story, with artworks corresponding to each.
#23 Danhauser is quite stunning. Would love to hear some comments on this artist.
Thank You Dan!!
Stay tuned, Leon, for much more of the same....
Beautiful paintings.
There were redheads.
David and Esau come to mind..................
Matthew 13
33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables*; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
*Psalm 78
When I combine stories, as here, I’m able to cherry-pick the best art.
I omit the blondes but retain the gingers...................
Imagine........ A world without blondes.............
Nice catch! Your attention to relevant detail does not rival the Lord’s, not in the same league—no one ever could—but you are playing the same game. I salute you.
I want a girl
Just like the girl
That married dear old Dad!
Well, my maternal grandmother was a redhead, my mother was and one sister is.
So I am preprogrammed..........
So the whole Islam thing is because Sarah decided to have her husband shag her servant girl? If she had just decided to let things go the world would be a better place.
And if Eve had just ignored Satan, or if Noah had just said "No" to God, or if Abram had just said "I prefer remaining here in Ur"....
The Koran wasn't written for another 2,500 years.
Great paintings! Love #18-23-24. Thank you, Dan.
#23 by DANHAUSER, the 19th c. Viennese artist whose growing skills had so impressed patrons that the archbishop of Eger, Hungary, made him his protégé. The archbishop later sponsored the artist’s trips to Venice to study the paintings of the Old Masters.
I looked him up, and there seems to be a somewhat condescending article about the "Biedermeier" period on wkpd (at least it sounds condescending to my ear):
The Biedermeier period was an era in Central Europe between 1815 and 1848 during which the middle classes grew in number and the arts began to appeal to their sensibilities.
The period began with the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 and ended with the onset of the Revolutions of 1848.
The term derives from the fictional mediocre poet Gottlieb Biedermaier [sic], who featured in the Munich magazine Fliegende Blätter (Flying Leaves).
[1] It is used mostly to denote the unchallenging artistic styles that
flourished in the fields of literature, music, the visual arts and interior design.
"Unchallenging"...that's something like peasants like you and me can appreciate, right? *stalks off in a huff*
*grins* that's also why I pinged our resident scholar to my comment *winks*
