	Next: "Madonna of the Meadow" by Raphael 1505-6, oil on wood, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna Beautifully composed (in a bigger and smaller triangle) with the Madonna, the Christ child, and his cousin St. John the Baptist. But Raphael is just a bit static, just a bit sugary, just a bit dull. The book says he is now out of style, and we ought not to go with the conventional wisdom in this matter. But sorry, I think conventional wisdom is right this time.

	Call me immature, but the babies being naked kind of turns me off to the whole picture. -----signature----- • Captain Garust -- POTC III I Love the Amphitheatre!

	Okay; you're immature. Babies are often naked. Live with it.

	Next: Hieronymus Bosch "The Garden of Earthly Delights" c. 1505-16, oil on panel, Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid Probably painted the Stadtholder of Holland, it was one of a pair. The left hand of the triptych was the Garden of Eden, the right is a depiction of hell. Dream-like, and deeply, weirdly, creepy.

	Bosch is one of my favorites and this piece is one that I can look at for quite some time without losing interest. -----signature----- rhonderoo "We have to believe in free will.

	Next: "La Tempesta" by Giorgione c. 1507, oil on canvas, Galleria dell'Accademia, Venice A very famous small masterpiece, "La Tempesta" has defied categorization, and meaning. Many interpretations have been suggested, but none adopted. The picture is largely improvised; X-Rays have shown another woman on the left, her legs in the water.

	Next: "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" by Gerard David c. 1510, oil on panel, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D. C. David was a Flemish painter, which is why the Holy Land looks like Flanders. The painting is fulled with religious symbolism. The story is not contained in the bible, but comes from gospel of Matthew, wherein an angel appears to Joseph and tells him to flee with his family to Egypt to escape Herod's policies.

	The Bosch is outstanding and nightmarish in a weird way. The Tempest is a favorite of mine from way back. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	The frescos on the ceiling of the Sisten Chapel are very beautiful. If you ever go to Rome you should see them, if you have the time. -----signature----- http://tlongpublications.wordpress.com/ http://tlongportfolio.wordpress.com/ http://thestarsailors.wordpress.com/

	They've recently been cleaned, so the colours may be different than in the reproductions.
