Historical image of Charles I of England

Charles I faced Parliament's growing anger. He was short, shy, and seen as aloof. He needed an image of divine, unquestionable authority. Van Dyck, Rubens' brilliant student, was his chosen architect of majesty. #BaroqueArt #RoyalPortraits

Meme showing an elegant lady in a red dress from 1841. Her expression is very judgemental. The meme text reads, "People are too judgemental these days... I can tell just by looking at them." Image is from a 1841 artwork called "Portrait of Louises von Orléans" by artist Franz Xaver Winterhalter. It is a portrait of the first Belgian Queen.

I mean... "Those" people are just so obvious.
