82 Bronzino's portraits are remarkable for their wonderful detail and use of color. His skin tones are realistic even if a bit perfect. I find the facial expressions are often a tiny bit wooden compared to later artists like Rembrandt, although this one isn't. The crooked eye adds realism, and interest, to the portrait. Oddly, his allegorical paintings are much more expressive. However, I can see why his portraits were so popular.

This is the kind of painting where the subject is less important to me than studying the techniques used to make it.

97 Okay, so the artist was feeling artistic this day, and he painted the grotesque things to contrast the handsomeness of this person, who is unknown. The person is probably one of the artists literary friends, per Grok. This is oil on wood and I am not sure the lazy eye is supposed to be lazy, more like he is looking down and it got a bit wonky in the translation. Those things happen to the best of us in portraits. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

At least if they broke, people will stop taking pictures and telling you that you are making it up…until they look at the picture they took and try to come up with something ice to say.

Scottish charity warns migrants that underage British girls might "deceive" them
. . . .
‘Because we've had young men fall for these things that could be preventable.' Fall for these things. She then goes on to advise the men to ask young people their age and even request identification, before coming in with the extraordinary warning: ‘Don't be deceived, we have young persons growing bigger than their age.' Twelve and 14-year-olds, she explains, can be taller than she is.

While most of the other models were still predicting landfall in the Mobile Bay-to-Perdido Key area 24 hours out, Deep Mind accurately showed the Ft. Walton Beach/Destin area as the hurricane's landing spot 3 DAYS PRIOR.

Deep Mind also nailed the intensity while other models were showing breakup prior to landfall due to windshear.

196 Portrait of a Young Man, c. 1530s
Bronzino (Agnolo di Cosimo di Mariano)

The poser looks like a young James Spader.

Location: The Met Fifth Avenue (Gallery 612), H. O. Havemeyer Collection
Sitter: Unidentified, though believed to be part of Bronzino's close circle of Florentine literary friends.

"The identity of this arrogant young man is unknown, but he must have belonged to Bronzino’s close circle of literary friends in Florence and probably holds a book of poetry. The artist was himself a poet, delighting as much in the beauty of language as he did in the witty and fanciful details of his paintings. Here, Bronzino employs the ancient Roman tradition of fantastical decorations known as grotesques in his rendering of heads on the table and chair, and in the almost hidden, mask-like face suggested in the folds of the youth’s breeches. While these monstrous faces contrast with the youth’s handsome looks, they may also imply that his carefully crafted appearance is similarly a kind of mask."

More interesting than I originally thought, but would pass hanging.

Thanks.

207 The DOJ confirms agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant...
Did they do it at 4AM in the morning? Did they cuff and perp walk the inbred brother-marrying jihadi-supporter in front of the media? Did they shoot her pet (goat, I'd assume)? No? They're doin' it wrong.

222 There is usually some kind of protest outside of Huntsville for every execution. Since Hasan's has been greatly publicized I'm sure the evil protesting retards have upped their game.

Hasan's not getting executed until... when? Something like 60 days from the order? These idiots are going to camp out there for nearly 2 months?

This is why it was dumb to announce the date and location upon the order being given.

The left, and their propaganda arm now has 6 or 7 weeks to agitate for the execution to be stopped.

It probably won't. But it's now going to devolve into a political shitshow.

>>Multiple HSI agents in jackets were seen outside the residence around 6 a.m. as Homeland Security Investigations led the operation. Two sources close to the investigation tell Fox News Digital the search stems from questions surrounding paperwork filled out by Omar's late father when she was a child.
