These paintings are from my favorite period in history. Even though I play a lot of Baroque music on my harpsichord and clavichord, the Romantic period is up there on my passionate list. The art and music from this period gives me goose-pimples.

A few weekends ago I had quite an experience that I'll have to post about in detail. I did some piano-sitting at the Frederick Collection in Ashburnham, MA www.fredereickcollection.org

Their casework is just as beautiful as the music that is played on them.

I'm glad you like them. I just love the rich colours and peaceful looks.

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema..(1836-1912), is another one of my favourites.

Ask Me No More



Laurel (I especially like the plant in the piece. Have a few oleanders that I keep outside during the summer months only.)



Few artists enjoyed the success that the Dutch-born painter Lawrence Alma-Tadema achieved in the United Kingdom with his studies of semi-nudes, which were set against a background of daily life in ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt. Born in Dronryp, his art training began at the Antwerp Academy, and was completed with Baron Leys, an historical painter whose careful reconstructions of life in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries made him the ideal teacher for a painter like Alma-Tadema, whose choice of subject-matter had always been similar. But it was left to Ernst Gambert, the Belgian international art dealer to realise that in Alma-Tadema he had found himself a first-class artist. After seeing his work, Gambert immediately commissioned forty-four paintings which were eventually shown in England, where they caused an instant sensation.

Default further back in time and right now and on and on

I hope this works.

About suffering they were never wrong,
The Old Masters; how well, they understood
Its human position; how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along;
How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting
For the miraculous birth, there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating
On a pond at the edge of the wood:
They never forgot
That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer's horse
Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.
In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water; and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.

Default The true revolutionaries

In a world where there is much ugliness, it is the creators of Beauty who are the true revolutionaries.
