"Still Life with Golden Bream," Francisco Goya, 1808-12.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) is one of the all-time greats. When painting portraits, he could communicate a lot about the sitter while still depicting them more-or-less fairly. But he was also an exceptional caricaturist who ruthlessly dissected human foibles. He could paint historical works but also do works that were sharply critical of the times he was in. And he also produced many bizarre works that seem to be his savage depictions of human fears.
What he was NOT known for was still lifes, and the ones by him can be counted on one's fingers.
Here we have some fish in a heap by the shore. At just a glance, it seems normal, but bear in mind this was painted during the Peninsular War, when Napoleon was invading Spain and fighting was all over. Then those goggling fish eyes take on a sense of pathos. It's a heap of the dead, left on the seashore, sacrificed by a desire for conquest.
That's how good Goya was. He can paint a still life of fish and turn it into a commentary on war.

#MissKitty is going to catch up with you all after dropping this account status and maybe a song or two. That post by #Napoleon #Hill. That's what I am entirely about because I'm talking about ending #Homelessness. I have been since the last time I was #Homeless. It presented and explained.

Eines der wichtigsten politischen Ziele Napoleons bestand in der Errichtung einer neuen kaiserlichen Dynastie. 👑
💍 Darum versuchte der #Kaiser, Eheschließungen zwischen Mitgliedern seiner #Familie und europäischen Fürstenhäusern zu stiften.
💡 1806 willigte König Friedrich von Württemberg in die Heirat seiner Tochter Katharina mit Jérôme Bonaparte, dem jüngsten Bruder Napoleons, ein. Der preziös ausgefertigte #Vertrag über die Eheschließung regelt vor allem erb- und vermögensrechtliche Fragen.
📷 Foto: Ratifikation des Heiratsvertrages durch Kaiser #Napoleon; Pergament. Libell, 4 Blatt, in goldgesticktem Samt mit aufgedrücktem Siegel. Signatur: LABW, HStAS G 272 U 461. http://www.landesarchiv-bw.de/plink/?f=1-1183468
👉 Dieser und weitere interessante Schätze sind aktuell in der #Ausstellung „Kostbare Schätze aus 750 Jahren deutsch-französischer Begegnungen“ im Hauptstaatsarchiv #Stuttgart zu entdecken! Sie ist bis zum 24. Juli geöffnet: https://www.landesarchiv-bw.de/de/aktuelles/ausstellungen/79196

“The system, to a large extent, causes its own behavior”*…
The geocentric universe illustrated, with the sun and planets revolving around the Earth. Interestingly, the illustration above was created in 1660, a few decades after Galileo popularized the fact that geocentrism was completely inaccurate. (source)Alan Jacobs quotes from Freeman Dyson‘s epic 1998 book, Imagined Worlds…
It often happens that a scientific revolution is accompanied by a change in style. I like to use the names of Napoleon and Tolstoy to symbolize two contrasting styles: rigid organization and discipline represented by Napoleon, creative chaos and freedom represented by Tolstoy. In the world of computers, Napoleon is the massive IBM main-frame; Tolstoy is the humble Macintosh. The computer revolution was an escape from the Napoleonic ambitions of von Neumann to the Tolstoyan anarchy of the Internet. Future revolutions will bring more such escapes.
Jacobs goes on to observe…
The big AI companies are the apotheosis — literally, in the view of many who work for them — of Napoleonic science. The open web and the world of hobbyist and small-scale devices (often built on the Raspberry Pi) are our remaining refuges of Tolstoyan computing.
See also: “Twenty Five Years After Imagined Worlds, What World Are We Living In? – Our surprisingly Napoleonic twenty-first century,” in which Erik Larson unpacks Dyson’s thinking and reconciles it to the world of 2022 (when Larson wrote the piece).

As we contemplate culture, we might spare a thought for Jack Kilby; he died on this date in 2005. An electrical engineer, he made a– if not the— foundational advance that moved us into the age we’re now navigating: the integrated curcuit (or as we know it, the chip).
In mid-1958, as a newly employed engineer at Texas Instruments, Kilby didn’t yet have the right to a summer vacation. So he spent the summer working on the problem in circuit design known as the “tyranny of numbers” (how to add more and more components, all soldered to all of the others, to improve performance). He finally came to the conclusion that manufacturing the circuit components en masse in a single piece of semiconductor material could provide a solution. On September 12, he presented his findings to the management: a piece of germanium with an oscilloscope attached. Kilby pressed a switch, and the oscilloscope showed a continuous sine wave– proving that his integrated circuit worked and thus that he had solved the problem.
Kilby is generally credited as co-inventor of the integrated circuit, along with Robert Noyce (who independently made a similar circuit a few months later). Kilby has been honored in many ways for his breakthrough, probably most augustly with the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physics.

#SimplonDorf ist auch eine Reise wert. Hier ist das Tal noch vom #Rhonegletscher flach geschliffen worden, anders als in Gondo sitzt man also über der Schlucht und hat einen weiten Blick.

Vor dem Bau der #Simplonstrasse durch #Napoleon gab es den #Saumweg der #Stockalper durch die Schlucht von #Gondo, in der auch eine militärische Anlage #FortGondo eingebaut ist, die im ersten und zweiten Weltkrieg aktiv genutzt wurde.
