  1. By Bartolomé Bermejo (1440–1500), detail of a sad demon from “Descent of Christ into Limbo” and the full work,ca. 1475, oil and gilding on wood, 35.23x 27.36 inches (full work), Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona. #arthistory #art #spanishart #purgatory #limbo

    I call these kinds of paintings “Christian Art You Won’t Find at Hobby Lobby.”

    As the museum’s server is down, here is information from the Museo del Prado: “Bartolomé de Cárdenas, alias El Bermejo (c. 1440 – c. 1501), is one of the most fascinating painters of the fifteenth century. He was born in Córdoba, though his status as a converted Jew may well have predisposed him to an itinerant life that included stints in Valencia, Daroca and Zaragoza at least and finally Barcelona. To get round the restrictions of the guild regulations of the period, he often teamed up with much less qualified local masters. Even so, the alias with which he proudly signed some of his most innovative works shows that he was a painter with a powerful personality, probably highly aware, and confident, of his skills.

    Building on his mastery of the oil painting technique practised by Flemish artists, Bermejo developed a realistic language of his own with a particular emphasis on illusionistic effects, as well as spectacular ranges of colours. His technical prowess was coupled with an astonishing ability to interpret all kinds of themes and iconographies in new ways. His urge to carry on exploring new avenues, especially in landscape and portraiture, led him to produce some of his most complex and innovative works during the last stage of his career. All this drew the attention of a select clientele ranging from high-ranking clergymen and nobles to distinguished merchants as well as his own colleagues, who often imitated his compositions.“

  2. #Venezuela is like Limbo. Life be like: "how low can you go?" 😂 I just submitted a job application to be a "chatter" (and impersonate a prostitute, basically). 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don't blame those who start a "blue page" tho, but I don't like portraying women as sex toys either. Anyways, they said I could get rejected for using Linux.

  3. "Have I become a glitch in the matrix? Zeroed out?"

    I don't drink. I don't take drugs. I've given up on lust and I'm not even looking for a girlfriend. Just by being myself I find myself increasingly excluded. I'm a little lost right now, I must admit. But the path feels right. I'm being redirected. To I don't know where yet.

  4. Watching Treasure and Dirt, another Australian opal mining town murder detective series on ABC iView.

    Wondering how the character and appearance of The Seer, cult leader of The Third Row, came to be, and if it is informed by any person living or dead.

    Quite a role.

  6. Sorry, not related to the post’s subject, but I saw the website preview image below and immediately thought of the game Limbo. 😅

  7. This sounds like the fun part of Hell

    Limbo:

    : a dance or contest that involves bending over backwards and passing under a horizontal pole lowered slightly for each successive pass

  8. Bin grade mit #Limbo auf der #PS5 fertig geworden. Das war doch schwieriger, als ich gedacht habe. Wahrscheinlich war ich der letzte, der es gespielt hat, aber: mir hat’s echt gut gefallen. In der Riege wäre jetzt als nächstes #Cocoon dran.

  9. Hab jetzt (schon nach 15 Jahren) mal #Limbo auf der #PS5 angefangen, das Game hatte ich bis heute vor mir her geschoben. Aus meiner Sicht ein zeitloser Klassiker. Viel wurde von hier kopiert, das alleine spricht für die Qualität des Games.
    Die s/w Murnau Optik finde ich ich großartig und den Soundtrack ebenfalls.

  10. 🔍 BREAKING: Math nerds finally find a shape that can't do the limbo—what a revelation! 🎉 Next up, discovering that water is wet and the sky is blue. 🙄 Bravo, #Quanta, for tackling the truly #groundbreaking mysteries of our time. 🏆
