tekel, your artistic competence is found wanting . . .

Glad you showed Rembrandt's 'Feast of Belshazzar' painting. I needed some visual relief after all this Precious Moments, Thomas Kincaid stuff.

Here's an interesting side-note about this painting: it is one of the few (only?) Rembrandt paintings where he screwed up human anatomy. Note the woman in red on the right. Look at the way her left arm attaches to the shoulder. That said, this painting is a marvel of confident brushwork and masterful handling of materials. The thick impasto defining the king's jewelry is real enough to steal.
