Happy New Year! | Vintage Greeting Cards

New Year's Day, also called simply New Year's or New Year, is observed on January 1, the first day of the year on the modern Gregorian calendar as well as the Julian calendar.

In pre-Christian Rome under the Julian calendar, the day was dedicated to Janus, god of gateways and beginnings, for whom January is also named. As a date in the Gregorian calendar of Christendom, New Year's Day liturgically marked the Feast of the Naming and Circumcision of Jesus, which is still observed as such in the Anglican Church and Lutheran Church.

Claude Verlinde, 1927 | Fantastic Realism painter

Claude Verlinde is a French painter🎨 who works in the vein of “fantastic realism”, sometimes called “magic realism”, and his work shows the lineage of fantastical art from Bruegel🎨 and Bosch🎨 to the Surrealists🎨 and contemporary magic realism.

I would also suspect that a number of the Surrealists, and certainly contemporary magic realists, were influenced by his work (not to mention the production designers of the Harry Potter movies).

Claude Verlinde found his vocation very early and entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris at the Academy de la Grande Chaumiere at the age of twenty. Soon, the richness of his painting, its great sensitivity controlled by technique, made Verlinde undisputed master of visionary art of our time.

Beethoven's love letters to his immortal beloved, 1812

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a German composer and pianist.

A crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Classical music, he remains one of the most recognized and influential of all composers.

After his death in 1827, the following love letter was found amongst the personal papers of Ludwig van Beethoven, penned by the composer over the course of two days in July of 1812 while staying in Teplice.
