LiveJournal is so weird. Nowadays it is 99% full of Russians posting weird gifs of people dancing. It’s hilarious.

fetishofsilence:

This painting is entitled Judith Beheading Holofernes by Caravaggio. The picture shown above is only a small part of the whole painting. Caravaggio is best known for his use of chiaroscuro. He is my favorite Baroque artist. Isn’t he wonderful?

Judith Beheading Holofernes

Caravaggio (detail)

Yes, he is.

angelarizza:

I thought it would be cool to see all of my Harry Potter pieces together in one post. I also made a bundle of them available in my Etsy shop if anyone wants prints. Made some sketches today of my next project where I want to do three images inspired by the Mockingjay of The Hunger Games. All pieces are ink/digital.

I like it but Voldemort looks kind of… eh…

Meh, Renaissance music is okay, but some pieces just drag on forever and become very boring. This one is actually good.

Another wonderful Baroque-style movie based on the life on Marin Marias, but a tad depressing. Tous les matins du monde.

I have only recently heard this piece, but it is extremely moving as well. Passacaglia by Biber.

Probably the best Baroque-era based movie out there, also based on the life of Jean-Baptiste Lully :)
