Equinox today, Vernal for us here in the Northern Hemisphere, at 10:46 AM Eastern. A bit of balance in a world that is, these days, far from balanced. May this celestial balance help heal us. Link: www.conviviobookworks.com/blog/balance...

Against a dark cloudy sky with a sunrise/sunset beginning to colour the clouds, an elderly gentleman with a magnificent white beard and a bald pate fringed by grey/silver curls is leaning with a smile towards a naked chubby toddler-sized baby with short dark hair and a small set of white feathered wings attached to its back seated on a white fluffy cloud. The baby is holding a royal orb almost as big as it is and the elderly gentleman is holding a sceptre and is dressed very richly in velvets and embellished silks. His nose is slightly red as if he is either sunburnt or tipsy. Image by Guercino (Giovan Francesco Barbieri) (1591-1666) from Wikimedia Commons.
Today's writing prompt is a painting by Guercino (Giovan Francesco Barbieri) (1591-1666). Why does the baby have wings? Who is the elderly gentleman leaning towards it? And why are they holding the symbols of royalty? #writingprompts #writinglife #writingtips #guercino #giovanfrancescobarbieri
...Respecto al tercero, en mi colección conservo un bellísimo aguafuerte realizado por él.

From TV tough guy to art sleuth: how Federico Castelluccio snagged a $68K "unknown" canvas that may be a Guercino worth up to $10M. Would you have taken the gamble? Dive into the twisty tale and weigh in. #ArtAuthentication #FedericoCastelluccio #Guercino #MisattributedPainting #TheSopranos
Guercino urodził się 8 lutego 1591. Mistrz barokowego światła i emocji. Łączył teatralność kompozycji z intymnością ludzkich twarzy. Zasłynął m. in. obrazem Aurora. (fot. Wikipedia) #Guercino
