The moon shines in such a ghostly pale silver, as the stars twinkle in and out of sight of the human eye...really, the real thing is so much like this painting by Alexandre-Auguste Hirsch, appropriately titled "Night".

Meanwhile, in the USA many cities want to remove hard won #bicycle infrastructure in order to add an additional lane for cars 
It is also worth noting that there were approximately 2.7 million automotive-related fatalities in the U.S. over the past 60 years

Spring Song (Frühlingslied) by Harry Jochmus (1855 – 1915).
Roughly 12x9 inches (302x220mm), and in two colours, green and black, although i decided the green had probably faded and made it a little bluer in #GIMP green and blue inks were often unstable.
Engraved and printed in 2 passes; the green didn’t quite line up.

Your art history post for today: by Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1875–1895), Madame Georges Charpentier and Her Children, oil on canvas, 60 1/2 x 74 7/8 in. (153.7 x 190.2 cm), The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. #arthistory #oilpainting #painting #impressionism
From the museum: ‘In this commissioned portrait, as Marcel Proust observed, Renoir gave expression to "the poetry of an elegant home and the beautiful dresses of our time." In the Japanese-style sitting room of her Parisian townhouse—the décor and chic gown testifying to her stylish taste—Marguerite Charpentier sits beside her son, Paul. At age three, his locks are still uncut and, in keeping with current fashion, he is dressed identically to his sister Georgette, perched on the family dog. The well-connected publisher's wife, who hosted elite literary salons attended by such writers as Flaubert, the Goncourts, and Zola, used her influence to ensure that the painting enjoyed a choice spot at the Salon of 1879.’
![From the museum: ‘… Marguerite embraces Paul; her daughter Georgette is seated in the foreground on the back of Porthos, the family’s Newfoundland dog... The predominant use of black and white sets the family, with their animal, apart. Marguerite appears as she has been described—very small, robust, and engaging—with fair skin, dark brown hair, and hazel eyes set in a lively square face with a double chin. Her black evening gown trimmed with Chantilly lace, with its train spread out on the carpet at her feet, is worn with a white fichu finished with black satin bows… [she wears a] large brooch in the shape of a daisy (in French, marguerite) with leaves and stem, and a bracelet and ring set with colored stones…Georgette and Paul wear identical pale blue and white, off-the-shoulder costumes, with socks and beribboned shoes (hers with a slight heel, his slippers) of the same bronze color. Because he is only three, Paul’s hair is still in ringlets, and he is in skirts…
The colorful secondary elements are what appear to be Japanese screens decorated with birds, including peacocks, a Japanese bamboo chair with a matching table which supports a vase of flowers, an elaborately embellished crystal decanter and glasses, and a plate of green grapes. The sofa is upholstered in silk patterned with small bright blossoms.”](https://poliverso.org/photo/preview/640/57653337 "From the museum: ‘… Marguerite embraces Paul; her daughter Georgette is seated in the foreground on the back of Porthos, the family’s Newfoundland dog...

You wouldn't think any of the gorgeous (not to mention wealthy...) maidens in the imagination of Lawrence Alma-Tadema would be without a lover, but you'd guess wrong! Or so it seems from this piece of his, titled "Vain Courtship".

A great discussion of the nightmare that is TSMC's new chip factory in Arizona. The main issues are the immense difficulty of replicating the complex "copy exact" process of chipmaking, the lack of a local supplier ecosystem in the U.S., and labor and construction challenges, all leading to significant cost overruns and delays.

Tellingly, the moment the dynamic flips—as occurred with Mamdani's surprise victory in NYC, where he faces a contested election against at least one candidate essentially a puppet of Donald Trump—the establishment proves its loyalty not to Democrats, but to its own ironclad control.

While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle.The New Republic

I've been watching the channel Jake Don't Draw for a while and have just learned Jake has set up this new site with lots of info and references for anyone interested in learning about academic #art , with a focus on #drawing and #OilPainting.
As someone who once had a learned tendency to pooh-pooh that style, I've found his videos very eye opening and inspirational, even though I have no illusions I am on a path to mastering any of the techniques he discusses.
