Goya's Capriccios | 15 novembre 2007

Goya

The capriccios

Spanish title: Nohubo remedio

English title: There was no Cure

They have made up their minds to kill this good women.
After judgement was pronounced, she was dragged through the streets in triumph.
She has indeed earned a triumph.
If they do this to shame her, they are wasting their time.
Nothing can make her ashamed who as nothing to be ashamed of.

Goya once drew a picture of an ancient Man tottering along under the burden of years, but with the accompanying Caption " I'm Still learning "
That old man was himself.
To the end of a long life, he went on dreaming.

Was very nice to get back to my old Goya's Etchings
I remember when I saw them for the first time, it was as if I had never seen an etching before .
Now when the days are cold and I feel lonely or in a quiet mood I retreat to them.
Together with my first ever CD from Callas " Tosca " by Puccini and some hot tea.
I transport myself to a world were I feel calm and with no Fear.

Self Portrait | 30 septembre 2007

Artist
Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn


Rembrandt was about 22 when he drew this self portrait. The manner in which it is drawn is loose and sketch-like. His characteristic features, the unkempt head of curly hair, the wide nose and faint moustache, are accurately captured. Rembrandt began by sketching his face in pen and brown ink, showing the contrast between light and shadow. He then reworked the drawing with brush and grey ink. This was a rare combination of techniques for Rembrandt.
