Rameau: Castor et Pollux, RCT 32 - 10. Chaconne
https://youtu.be/4XyyCBAcSBU?si=V3iAD3okug397TakThere's something about this piece with its repeated falling passage that majestically assures me of the triumph of cosmos over chaos.

"Agrippina and Germanicus," Peter Paul Rubens, c. 1614.
Rubens (1577-1640) was one of the most influential Flemish Baroque painters, and an icon in the art world.
This was painted during his time in Antwerp, after returning from a prolonged stay in Italy. There he was influenced by Roman art and antiquities, and it left a lasting impression.
Agrippina the Elder (14BC - 33AD) was the daughter of Roman general Marcus Agrippa and wife of Germanicus, a general and politician. The two had a number of children, including future emperors Nero and Caligula.
Now this is obviously not a portrait taken from the life, but a mixture of portrait and history painting. The two likenesses don't bear much resemblance to surviving busts of the two, and the styling is very much an idealized Flemish Baroque vision. But it's still impressive work.
Happy Portrait Monday!

"Chinese Plate with Artichokes, Rose, and Strawberry," Giovanna Garzoni, 1652-60.
Garzoni (1600-70) was an Italian Baroque painter. She started off doing religious and historical subjects but made her fame with her still lifes, painted with great detail and precision.
Her family is believed to have been artists (many details of her early life is unknown) and it's believed she apprenticed under her uncle. She was known as "the chaste Giovanna," as she refused to marry and wanted to remain a virgin; I wonder if she just didn't want to be bothered and wanted to focus on her work. She became so popular that she could name her own price, and died a wealthy woman.
This style of still life was popular, with botanic objects displayed on Asian ceramics, which were a huge status symbol. We've got a pink rose but the artichokes dominate...and they're flower buds, believe it or not.
Happy Flower Friday!

"The 'Piebald' Horse," Paulus Potter, 1650-4.
Potter (1625-54) was a Dutch painter, the son of an artist, whose short life was filled by a passion for painting animals.
Although he did a handful of portraits of humans (including a self-portrait), his nearly 100-painting oeuvre is almost entirely paintings of animals in a landscape. Although he was a painter of the Baroque era, his style was admired by the later Romantics who embraced his depictions of noble animals.
Here we have a piebald horse, standing majestically against a cloudy sky and rolling meadows. There's a manor house to the right and if you squint, you can find a horseman with some hounds, but this horse dominates all, fierce and free.
He often included humans, and one painting, "The Punishments of a Hunter," shows a huntsman being put on trial by woodland animals!
He died sadly young, only 28, but there's a charming memorial statue in his home town of Enkhuizen, of him sitting and sketching a distant statue of a goat.

I wish we had gotten more albums than we did during Brian Wilson's peak as a studio and arrangement genius, but I'm thankful we got the ones we did. Currently listening to The Beach Boys Today! in awe.
