15 Wikipedia says he was a contemporary of King Henry VIII and then Queen Elizabeth. His real name was Caliari (no, not "calamari"), but he lived in Verona, hence "Veronese."

As I ponder the person depicted

The bruise on his temple
Appears to have been shelf-inflicted

1202 was originally IZOZ, but the artist didn't want to be associated with the Russian military, so he eliminated the Z.

Not sure of when it changed, but this portrait is possibly (likely) from the time in which buttons were purely ornamental and clothing was fastened with pins. Not sure why it took so long to invent, or at least popularize, the button hole.

101 I absolutely love and admire portraits from that 100-150 years. Yeah, good looking guy, but almost monkish in his ruffle and slashed doublet restraint. Quiet silver buttons on his restrained doublet show that he has real money and success. In those days, they wore their wealth on their backs. Very enjoyable portrait.

According to Bloomberg, Putin said he had signed a decree demanding payment in rubles for Russian gas supplies, which is set to begin April 1 as previously reported. According to the decree, while Russia will continue to supply gas at set volumes and prices, it will demand that buyers of gas open accounts in Russian banks, and warned that Moscow can halt gas contracts if buyers don't pay in rubles;

They become evidence of providence (a record of ownership) and help track a work's history. Sometimes, as a work is bought and sold by several museums, galleries, or auction houses throughout its life, it can acquire several marks, adding to its historical record.

122 JJ's story about Bruce Willis in the elevator, and what a gentleman he turned out to be, reminded me of this story told on the I Spy fan forum about Robert Culp. The narrator said that he and his wife and their new baby, ca. 1968, had their car break down late in the afternoon near one of the Hollywood studios. They were broke, and this was long before cell phones, of course. He knew what the car's problem was, but it would take 2 people to handle it, and his wife was ill. They thought they'd be stuck there all night.

Along comes this tall lanky fellow and asks what's wrong. Told, he immediately volunteered to sit behind the wheel and crank the starter while the owner made the adjustment. It worked great, and the Samaritan refused any payment and went on his way. Only later did the narrator realize that it was Robert Culp. And Culp never mentioned this event or used it for any kind of publicity. A class act.

According to a report from the New York Post, Waters was present at a chaotic event where hundreds of homeless people showed up due to inaccurate social media reports that Section 8 housing vouchers were being distributed.


At one point, when it was clear that staff at the event were being overwhelmed, Waters reportedly said to the crowd, "I want everybody to go home."

That comment reportedly triggered an angry response from the crowd, many of whom were homeless.

"We don't got no home, that's why we're here!" one member of the crowd reportedly said back. "What home we gonna go to?"

190 I like Paolo Veronese's paintings. They are dynamic and make brilliant use of color. (I shudder to think of the cost, in those days, of making those paints.) Like Rembrandt, each of his figures are individuals, even in crowd scenes. This one is much simpler but he still captures a hint of humor or a sardinic feel and the face is certainly not generic. I also like the look of candle light for the illumination. No idea if it's accurate but it is interesting.

If I were the type to hang portraits, I would use this painting.

One of the more desired and more expensive colors was cobalt blue. The stone was mined in central Asia so European artists and patrons had to pay for the privilege of having it in their work. It's a beautiful, rich blue and it was popular in Europe AND China (a lot of the blue in the Ming blue-and-white vases is cobalt blue). Giotto used it in his Scroveni Chapel series, and I think it's used in Michelangelo's Last Judgement.

>>Were your ancestors slaves in the 19th century.

Slavery was imposed on The Americas by the Colonial Powers, slavery only existed in America proper for less than 80 years and was maintained by the Democrat Party.

And at the end of slavery, the population of the US was 30 million people, we are now a nation of 325 million people, the vast majority of which have literally no connection to and did not materially benefit from slavery.

So if any reparations are to be paid, that shit should come directly from the DNC.

Pinning or connecting rezident retard to any of it is a pretty big ask. I'm not sure the powers that be are willing to go that far, but that might be preferred over having *biden 25th'd.
