20 pieces of #art, 1 a day, that inspire you. #Day11 Today’s work doesn’t really inspire me, but has stuck in my mind for at least 15 years. Rubens’ Massacre of the Innocents that is in Munich, brings that horrifying scene into sharp focus, preventing it from fading into words on a page.

20 pieces of #art, 1 per day, that inspired you. #Day8 The Altar of the Lie in St. Peter’s spoke to me as it looks like a painting, but it is instead a mosaic. I expected that a mosaic would be a bit disjointed, but not here. The cerulean of the robes was so intense that it stayed with me.
The Altar of the Lie, a mosaic in St. Peter’s Basilica, based upon a painting by Cristoforo Roncalli. It depicts the story in Acts 5 where Ananias and Saphira are punished for lying to St. Peter.

#WiskerWednesday This was PJ when we first got her. We had her for 17 years until she passed away. I miss her, but she was such a joy. ♥️

20 pieces of #art, 1 per day, that inspired you. #Day5 I have not seen the original in the British Museum, but saw a replica on the Holy Isle of Lindisfarne. The detail, the designs, and the color are amazing.

Post 20 pieces of art, 1 a day, that inspired you. #art #Day3 Michelangelo’s Bandini Pietà in Florence can’t compare to the delicacy of the Pietà in Rome, but it evokes a power not shown elsewhere. The fact that is a self portrait with Michelangelo’s face as Joseph, looking down at the scene,WOW!

Post a piece of art that inspires you, 1 a day for 20 days. #art #Day2 Titian’s Assumption of the Virgin in Venice’s Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari is achingly beautiful. The fact that it is still in the surrounds which it was designed to be in gives it even more impact. 📸 me
