You're welcome. Knight produced an impressive body of work.
Hmm, not sure, but quite possible. There may be at least one other shot from that day out there.
A little late, but better late than never

No problem, my friend!
I'll be getting help. I'm older than I thought. And the pic you posted hasn't been labeled. No consistency at all. So, @moderation.bsky.app, what gives here? Can I be not labeled as others are not?
The beheading of Holofernes is recounted in the deuterocanonical Book of Judith. In the story, Judith, a Jewish widow, enters the tent of Assyrian general Holofernes under the guise of seduction, as he was preparing to destroy Judith's home, the city of Bethulia. He passed out drunk, lost his head.

As it happens, Anguissola was a woman, and her sister, in addition to being a painter herself, was actually a nun. What would make someone actually want to be a nun, though, that is a good question.
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay #UnitedFarmWorkers Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thanks to Ignacio Gomez for this art.
That is a good question. I do think examining how a work of art makes the viewer feel is even more important. It's up to you!
Someone in England had more money than someone in Italy, no doubt. The good old international art market.
Indeed
Thank you. It's remarkable how angry some people get when they don't understand a piece of art. Not getting it is one thing. And I am not convinced art needs to be understood. If it stirs an emotion, it's done its job. Even if the emotion is hostile, I suppose!
Let Me In So I Can Go Out Again. 😻 New #painting. Winter scene with an anxious cat. 12x12 on cradled board. #ArtAdventCalendar #artistsonbluesky #bskyart #Art #caturday almost.
Love it!
You're welcome. I need to explore him further.
You find yourself in a surreal, unworldly space. Complete solitude. #Oregon #Beachscape
Thank you, Harold! Going reasonably well.
And you should have the option of viewing it anyway, I believe. Tapping the image? I don't remember, but there is a way, honest!
Their moderation and labeling leave much to be desired. Facebook is awful, but at least they allow art to be shown.
