Memory from 2 years ago. I saw Steve Knight's gorgeous photo of the Sun rising over #LunarCrater #Gassendi and just had to create a #PastelDrawing of it. It's a simple drawing but it has so much impact #AstronomySketching #LunarSketching #MoonDrawing

#PastelSketch of the Sun rising over #LunarCrater #Gassendi, sketched on black paper with #StabiloCarbOthello pastel pencils using the awesome photo taken by @Steve_P_Knight as a reference. Thanks for letting me sketch it! #AstronomySketching #LunarSketching #MoonArt

3/
that this kind of picture [ used to illustrate #monism / #immanentism ] is being widespread across #cultures and times, is referred to in #GenevièveBrykman's "Bayle's Case for Spinoza" (PAS, vol. 88), citing the early #Gassendi secretary and later orient traveller #FrancoisBernier:
"Various Indian and Persian
philosophers, Bernier observes, 'will palm you off with fine
comparisons and say that God is like an immense ocean, in
which many vials, full of water, move; that those vials, wherever
they should go, would always be in the same ocean, in the same
water; and that if they should break, the waters contained in
them would then be united to their whole, to that ocean of which
they are portions'."(p.262)
