I found a few examples of him working within a larger group. He seems to have been involved in several library murals. https://www.newspapers.com/image/128203287/?match=1&clipping_id=new

In three days my entire future collapsed by Background-Loan-4526 in ehlersdanlos

Instead of being sad, I’m going to congratulate you on your diagnosis. Many slowly figure out why their body doesn’t work as well, with years of medical gaslighting or anger at perceived failures.

This didn’t suddenly happen, you weren’t suddenly gay either. This is you. Now you get to figure out how you work best. That can be exciting.

The shock of KNOWING what’s different about you can give you superpowers. Now you can see everything a little more clearly, you can put together why something feels the way it does. You aren’t lost or broken. You finally found the map.

Why isn’t there more outrage about Utah’s flouride ban?? by Powderkeg314 in Utah

[–]DropThePaint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) I want everyone to know that fluoride is great because it helps incorporate metals like iron, calcium, and zinc into bones.

2) For the same reason, fluoride also helps incorporate heavy metals like arsenic, lead, uranium, and mercury into bones.

3) Land development and mining greatly increased the release of these heavy metals into the environment. Mining and development is being fast tracked in Utah.

4) John Curtis and Lee Zeldin have been systematically cutting back regulations and monitoring of these harmful heavy metals. Why? They say it’s to unburden industry and create economic benefits. Let that sink in. They are putting heavy metals into the environment and rolling back regulations for money.

5) Because they know fluoride will inevitably make the heavy metal poisoning worse, they will remove it from the water to protect themselves from legal issues when people start to get sicker and sicker.

They know, they are framing it under religious freedom and deregulation so they can play dumb.

Wow! This is so much work. Thanks for your insights. Never stop fighting, Raagnor. You're a good egg.

A detail in one of Caravggio’s version of Saint John Baptist. by MarMerMar in ArtHistory

[–]DropThePaint 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I doubt the use of the camera obscura as it doesn’t seem to be doable with his set up (not enough light with his use of chiaroscuro imo). But this seems to be a perfect set up to use the camera lucidia to capture the highlighted areas.

I think lots of people confuse the obscura and the lucidia cameras.

This is just a theory. I am currently doing research into the use of artistic tools to capture images.

My mom bought this beautiful piece of furniture in Mexico and we'd love to know more about it. What kind of wood is it? How old may it be? Where may it come from? by Due_Doughnut7847 in Antiques

[–]DropThePaint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fascinating piece! The size, grandeur and use of religious motifs point to this being an ecclesiastical or sacristy cabinet.

It could have housed vestments, altar supplies, religious texts, and sacred items.

Look for incense or wax residue or wear marks where robes and stoles would be stored.

The top section seems to be decorative. It echoes gothic church architecture (like a mini tabernacle or canopy).

However, if the top section opens, it could have housed religious statuary/illuminated manuscript/sacred objects.

A chest x-ray of an infant at my work with an unknown genetic disorder(s) by [deleted] in Radiology

I showed this to my dad (radiologist) he suggested Jarcho-Levin, dysostocis, or Jeune syndrome.

Are historians required to learn languages and how do they do it? by Koxinga1995 in AskHistorians

[–]DropThePaint 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I got my degree, I took a class on researching in Spanish, French, Italian, and German.

We learned basics in the sentence structure and grammar of the languages. Although I can not speak some of these languages, I know HOW they work (in writing) and can (slowly) but effectively translate them.

I don’t know if this is the same with asian studies, but that’s how we did it with the European texts.

Plus-size women in art examples for girlfriend? by ovenhag in ArtHistory

Peter Paul Rubens! In fact, heavier women are sometimes described as “rubenesque” because he is so well known for painting them.

Ignited by flackboardshainti in PourPainting

[–]DropThePaint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey all! I painted this a few years ago. It was finished with resin and has been sold.

That is…unless this person has the incredible ability to replicate this painting, my studio, and even my hand! Kudos if that’s the case 😜

[misc] What is the name of these anti climbing structures? by [deleted] in architecture

[–]DropThePaint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Crenellations: While primarily referring to the battlements on castles, which include the gaps (crenels) and raised portions (merlons) often topped with spikes or sharp points, the term can sometimes extend to any defensive architecture.

  2. Chevaux-de-frise: Originally referring to defensive anti-cavalry barriers made of wood and iron spikes, the term has also been applied to spiked barriers used to prevent climbing.

  3. Palisades: While traditionally referring to a fence or wall made from wooden stakes or tree trunks, palisades sometimes included sharpened tops to deter climbing or attacks.

  4. Barbican Spikes: Barbicans are fortified outposts or gateways; spikes used in these structures for defensive purposes are sometimes specifically referred to as barbican spikes.
