The heroine, pictured in a white dress symbolising virginity and innocence, seems wryly aware of her own sexuality. Sitting unladylike with legs spread, she prizes the head of a young buck between her knees, representing sexual awakening and insinuating improper affection towards her father. In the background, her stepmother kneels as aging witch, looking on with scorn and envy. <i>[ftp]</i><br/><br/> Pastel on paper, mounted on aluminium</blockquote> <p></p>http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/51758434700http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/51758434700Fri, 31 May 2013 00:14:38 +0100<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-22595987">Too famous to see?</a>: <p>Interesting piece on what makes a work of art an icon</p>http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/50981174716http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/50981174716Tue, 21 May 2013 11:32:06 +0100art news Picasso Velasquez thought<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8a6aede45d8c93a7f3e030ea250ea11c/tumblr_miduq1SAvA1qz6f9yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thisisnthappiness.com/post/43340185267/swiss-mona-lisa-is-the-original">nevver</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Swiss Mona Lisa ‘<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2013/feb/13/swiss-mona-lisa-leonardo-original">is the original</a>’</p> </blockquote>http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/43340398969http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/43340398969Sun, 17 Feb 2013 21:11:04 +0000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/472e2a4da79f20ea030d04c3cffe22cd/tumblr_mi2kjr50lv1qmvhifo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://steroge.tumblr.com/post/43339980058/elizabeth-i-c1595-studio-marcus-gheeraerts-ty">steroge</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Portrait of Elizabeth I, c.1595 by the Studio of Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger</p> <p>(<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/art-news/9862702/Rare-portrait-of-Elizabeth-I-owned-by-North-Carolina-Garden-Club-shown-in-Washington.html" title="Story">newly authenticated painting of Queen Elizabeth I</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/43340352487http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/43340352487Sun, 17 Feb 2013 21:10:30 +0000<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20739778">Swedish Fredrik Saker paints driving licence picture</a>: <p><img height="171" src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/64785000/jpg/_64785513_korkortet.jpg" width="304"/></p> <p><img height="299" src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/64785000/jpg/_64785514_malningen.jpg" width="224"/></p>http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/38012069534http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/38012069534Sat, 15 Dec 2012 22:13:13 +0000<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-20595943">Louvre opens new wing in the north</a>: <p><img height="261" src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/64577000/jpg/_64577302_louvre_interior.jpg" width="464"/></p>http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/37366350750http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/37366350750Fri, 07 Dec 2012 00:21:57 +0000<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-20622457">Raphael drawing fetches record £29.7m at auction</a>: <p><img height="282" src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/64600000/jpg/_64600987_raphaelfull.jpg" width="226"/></p>http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/37366157102http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/37366157102Fri, 07 Dec 2012 00:19:24 +0000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me5s4gS6F01qz6f9yo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me5s4gS6F01qz6f9yo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me5s4gS6F01qz6f9yo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thisisnthappiness.com/post/36674956083/i-believe-in-advertising">nevver</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.ibelieveinadv.com/2012/11/reflex-spray-berlin-marathon-london-marathon-new-york-marathon/">I believe in advertising</a></p> </blockquote> <p>These are utterly brilliant</p>http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/36681688698http://ric3188.tumblr.com/post/36681688698Tue, 27 Nov 2012 20:20:10 +0000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcd9xklb7W1qgdy8ko1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-20003267">BBC News -
