Léon Cogniet | The massacre of the Innocents, 1824

The Massacre of the Innocents (Location: Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rennes.) is the biblical account of infanticide by Herod the Great, the Roman-appointed King of the Jews.

According to the Gospel of Matthew, Herod ordered the execution of all young male children in the vicinity of Bethlehem, so as to avoid the loss of his throne to a newborn King of the Jews whose birth had been announced to him by the Magi.

In typical Matthean style, it is understood as the fulfillment of an Old Testament prophecy.

Victor Hugo | Ti Auguro / I wish you / Je te souhaite

Ti auguro in primo luogo di amare e che, amando, tu sia riamato.

E se non è così, che sia breve il ricordo, e finito il ricordo che tu non conservi rancore.

Ti auguro che non sia così,

ma se così fosse, che tu sappia vivere senza disperazione.

A spring evening.

A large room in an old house. A woman of a certain age, dressed in black, is speaking to a young man. They have not turned on the lights.

Through both windows the moonlight shines relentlessly.

I forgot to mention that the Woman in Black has published two or three interesting volume of poetry with a religious flavor.

So, the Woman in Black is speaking to the Young Man:

Bernard Buffet | Expressionist painter

Bernard Buffet (1928-1999) was a French painter of Expressionism and a member of the anti-abstract art group L'homme Témoin (the Witness-Man).

Bernard Buffet represents a typical demonstration of the divorce between the French and Contemporary Art.

Popular artist by excellence, Bernard Buffet loved by the public is however detested by elitists whom hold against him his prolixity: 8,000 paintings, water colors,drawings, lithographs and engravings.

Picasso and the still life

For Picasso, life in all its forms - its tragedies, joys, and banalities; his great loves and his children; the people, places and events that shaped him - fed his insatiable need to create.

Consequently, every one of his works is deeply autobiographical - a reflection of a time, emotion or state of mind.

Just as a portrait by the artist is never just a straightforward depiction of a sitter, so a still life is never solely a meaningless assortment of objects.

Eraclito: "Il carattere di un uomo è il suo destino"

• "L'armonia invisibile è una sfera perfetta e incontaminata. Quella visibile, invece, si deforma continuamente sotto il peso della realtà…"

• "L'apprendere molte cose non insegna l'intelligenza.."
