Daniel Maclise (1806-1870) | History painter

Daniel Maclise was born to a family of Scottish descent. After a brief period working in a bank, Maclise’s passion for drawing led him to pursue a career in art which he studied at the Cork Society of Arts.

His lifelong interest in antiquities began through his acquaintance with the antiquarian Richard Sainthill and folklorist Thomas Crofton Croker.

Maclise copied from their collections, and they secured commissions for the young artist from their circle of wealthy and influential friends.

Herodotus | The father of History

Non voglio che tu sia lo zimbello del mondo.

Ti lascio il sole che lasciò mio padre a me.

Le stelle brilleranno uguali ed uguali ti indurranno

le notti a dolce sonno.

Il mare t'empirà di sogni. Ti lascio

il mio sorriso amareggiato: fanne scialo

ma non tradirmi. Il mondo è povero

oggi. S'è tanto insanguinato questo mondo

ed è rimasto povero. Diventa ricco

tu guadagnando l'amore del mondo.

Mike Savad | Digital painter

"I was born in Texas, in an army base. I've always had a camera in my hand, mostly to keep me busy. It wasn't until about 20 years ago or so, when I got my first digital camera that I could experiment and learn how to do photography".

"Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell 1894-1978🎨 and paintings from the time of the Renaissance🎨".
