October 2010: Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Winter Landscape with Skaters and Bird Trap, 1565

Paintings are so good at being quiet.

September 2010: Guido Reni, The Death of Cleopatra, 1625-30

This paintings reminds me of the magic that can be achieved using a green underpainting. The nacreous flesh. The opaline canvas.
