Posted by: Xipe Totec at November 13, 2024 09:42 AM (pohLc) 92
I like the color and detail (especially in the clothing and accoutrements) Bronzino achieves in his paintings. At first I found the woman's expression somewhat stiff. But looking longer it seemed more still and introspective. The skin tones of his subjects may be a bit idealized but they aren't unnaturally so. This is one of those paintings that seem to improve the longer you look at it.

Painting had to have been done after cochineal dye reached Europe because that color red would have been impossible before it.Posted by: sniffybigtoe
I'm back from the rabbit hole you just sent me down. This painting was done about 1532 to 1533. Cortez conquered Mexico between 1519 to about 1522. Of course this is where cochineal dye had produced for years. So yes it's very possible the dress in this picture was dyed with cochineal and would have made it the latest fashion and most likely cost a small fortune.

Shakespeare knew how to take a good urban legend (in this case, one fostered by Sir Thomas More) and run with it. It's a lot more likely, I understand, that Henry VII (the more famous Big Guy's father) did away with them to strengthen his own claim to the English throne.

She's too weirdly perfect and cold, as is the dog. And then there's the goblin-like decoration on the chair. And, at first glance I thought she had lost the tip of an index finger but maybe she was under stress with the strange pose, her hands tense, and the artist left it in the painting for a point.
>Maniera at the Stadel Museum, 2016. An excellent article. If interested in this painting, scan down to Mise-En-Scene. In part, "The young lady casually directs her gaze directly at the viewer. Nevertheless no real sense of closeness comes about." And, "Like its mistress, the lapdog also looks the viewer directly in the eye. Dogs are traditional symbols of loyalty, docility and domesticity in women." Also, "The sinister visage alludes to the brutish side of the human being that lies concealed behind the facade of the social rules and norms." Wouldn't hang this particular piece but it's an interesting art lesson. Thanks.

Free Prince
@tyrannideris Nevermind. Trump’s actual pick for CIA Director, John Ratcliffe, is as entrenched in the surveillance state as they come. Over the past year, Ratcliffe joined forces with Mike Pompeo to push for the renewal of FISA warrantless surveillance, a tool that allows the government to spy on American citizens without due process. Ratcliffe’s classified briefings reportedly played a key role in convincing Speaker Mike Johnson to reverse his prior opposition and throw his support behind FISA. Ratcliffe’s roots in the surveillance swamp run deep. Appointed by George W. Bush as “Chief of Anti-Terrorism and National Security” for the Eastern District of Texas, he cut his teeth during the Bush administration’s post-9/11 assault on privacy rights. Later, he co-founded a “strategic advisory” firm with John Ashcroft, Bush’s first Attorney General and an architect of the Patriot Act, a law that opened the door to unprecedented government spying on its own citizens. Ratcliffe’s career seems to be defined by allegiance to the surveillance state, not resistance to it. This isn’t an outsider or a reformer—this is someone deeply embedded in the national security...

May be splitting hairs, but in heraldry small differences are important.
------ I was replying to "I have a book on SS uniforms. The Trident of St. Vladimir appears for one of the Ukrainian foreign legions, and a Maltese cross for one of the Russian ones. Apart from that, you only see crosses on the flags of the various foreign legions." over whether Christian crosses were used by the Nazis. I was telling Capt Obvious that even that cross is a pre-Nazi German one. I wasn't calling it a Jerusalem cross. Actually, I just flashed on it being the St John's cross, as used by the Commonwealth St John's Ambulance Service charity.

I recall seeing at least one on January 6. Is it a way of identifying as a Trumper without using the Orange One's name? If so, fuck that guy.
Yes, it is a magat thing. hillbillies in TN are all too proud of their license plates of that image. I mean state license plates. I beg to differ. Before the tea party used it, I was flying one under the bush jr presidency. I felt threatened by john ashcroft and Opposed the patriot act. I also flew the culpepper minuteman flag. seems like I should break them out again considering. I aknowledge that magats use it and hyjacked it, but they don't own it IMO. It should fly next to a rainbow flag. Libertarian type is a definite possibility. It's long been popular with that crowd. Trumper is still most likely, but not a 100% certainty.

We’ve just been through a period where we, appropriately in my estimation, savaged Doug Emhoff for his nanny escapades.

...an unaccountable administrative state and federal funding for cutting off kids dicks...
But I saw Kyle Kulinski say the anti-transing kids stuff was all lies, and no kids are being butchered, drugged and mutilated. And schools aren't forcing it on children! He then, a few seconds later, was upset that Trump might restrict "hormonal therapy" for children suffering from "gender dysphoria", and would allow people to sue doctors for gender reassignment surgery if they wanted to detransition.

345 “ Not surprising. He served in the military and did multiple tours. That's rough on a marriage, not to mention the likely personality changes over that time period as well.”
We’ve just been through a period where we, appropriately in my estimation, savaged Doug Emhoff for his nanny escapades. Pete was doinking his producer at Fox and got her pregnant, all while his wife was at home. I don’t expect that should get treated any differently, nor should it, and blaming it on his service tours is no excuse. Posted by: Marcus T at November 13, 2024 10:43 AM (FwedH) Yes, he f'ed up. If I was his 2nd wife, I'd never vote to confirm him. But, like Trump, who also struggled with fidelity and marriage, it seems high T/power/money ends up in sh&tbag behavior...some repent from that (like Trump) and should be supported in higher offices, some don't... AKA, I'd love to hear his explanation for bonking the producer. In his defense, he did make sure the baby was born and then married that mom, so he's 2 for 2 better than Emhoff...

Every one of us makes mistakes. Fair or not, they become fodder during the political process. Trump was able to overcome them first because a lot of people understand divorce and his were the garden variety. I think the kind of behavior Pete displayed, multiple times, shows at a minimum a substantial error in judgment and personal discipline. Second and more importantly, Trump is an accomplished person who has successfully run large companies and dealt with complex matters. He understands how things work at that level and how to change or fix them. Pete has zero real world experience outside his military service and as a tv host. In my opinion that’s not someone who can get the things done that must be accomplished at DoD to reform it. I wonder if he even knows where to start. Nonetheless I like the idea he is outside the process and was never in the contracting world. That could cause him to ask a lot of questions. But changing things takes a certain level of knowledge and there isn’t time for a learning curve. I feel like he’s in way over his head and destined for failure. But that’s just me. I truly hope he succeeds Posted by: Marcus T at November 13, 2024 10:57 AM (FwedH) 407
