In this shot the guide is telling the visitors 'the big picture' about the origins of this full-scale plaster model by John Flaxman (1755 – 1826) which was a preparation for a marble sculpture and the work is still in place at Petworth House, West Sussex, displayed alongside works of art by the masters.
Flaxman based the composition of this sculpture on Raphael’s painting of St. Michael (1518), in the Louvre , portraying the archangel as a graceful youth, serene and calm as he lifts his spear ready to strike his foe, pinned under his left foot.
St. Michael, described as the great protector in the Book of Revelation, is God’s chief warrior in the heavenly fight against Satan.
The scene depicted in this sculpture is from the battle which ensued when Lucifer – the ‘Light Bearer’, ‘Morning Star’ and chief of all the angels – led a third of God’s angels in rebellion. Michael was loyal to God and led the remaining angels against Lucifer, whom he defeated and cast into hell. Michael was made the chief of all angels as a reward for his loyalty, and is considered by Catholic Church to be a saint.
Following his Fall, Lucifer became Satan – ‘The Adversary’ – and rules over the other fallen angels in hell. He awaits the battle at the end of time when he will meet St. Michael and the armies of God once more.
Trying to create a still life with a painting theme, so I have done my best to light and process the image so that it feels as much like a painting as possible.

This is the Jan Waaijerbrug in Zoetermeer. The bicycle and pedestrian bridge connects the existing Westerpark with a future park in the new Driemanspolder. The architect, Syb van Breda, used the Dutch painting “Het laantje van Middelharnis” (1689) by Meindert Hobbema as an important source of inspiration. This can be traced back to the modern streetlight, which resemble the trees in this painting. “Both in the painting and from the bridge, the surrounding landscape is observed from a 'room', which is defined by slender trees”.
The bridge is a regional hub of a collection of long-distance cycling routes. The dominant straight polder axis between Delft and the Groene Hart, are combined with the meandering lines between the dunes and Midden Delfland. The merge into an elegant rotationally symmetrical crossing.
On June 2014, the biennial Gemma Smid Architecture Award, for the most appreciated new construction project in Zoetermeer, was awarded to the Jan Waaijer Bridge.
The construction consists of corten steel, which can be recycled after the estimated life of one hundred years. No paint or other contaminants have been used.
Technical stuff
This is single shot long exposure taken at 100ISO, f22 (just to prolong the exposure time), 20 secs and with 10mils on the camera. I used a 10 stop filter. Due to the bright light I still could go beyond 20 secs.
Post-production was executed with Lightroom CC. I used several (inverted) radial filters, adjustment brushes and graduated filters. The latter addresses primarily the toning of the sky and clouds. Finally, I added some copyright signs (in PS). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the fact that my photos were frequently copied. So, don't bother commenting on that.
I enjoyed the research on this, but more extensive editing than what I'm presented me eluded me for 4 hours today, and I'm yielding. This is in the style of Pieter Claesz,who featured lemons in several of his works. I zoomed in on only that, since he also included oysters (way over my price range this week). I specifically zeroed in on this from looking at an image done modernly by Daniel Chiriac to guide me on lighting, etc. SB900 through a small soft box above and slightly right, SB600 cam right above and through an umbrella. Fired by pop-up flash in commander mode.
When life gives you lemons, and there's no vodka in the house, you take photos, I guess

Aernout van der Neer ( 1603 - 1677 ) the Dutch painter specialised in landscapes seen by moonlight or evening light.
.....The composition with the waterway receding into the distance at right angles to the horizon, is characteristic of van der Neer's style.

The naval Battle of Leghorn took place on 4 March 1653 (14 March Gregorian calendar), [b] during the First Anglo-Dutch War, near Leghorn (Livorno), Italy. It was a victory of a Dutch squadron under Commodore Johan van Galen over an English squadron under Captain Henry Appleton. Afterwards, another English squadron under Captain Richard Badiley, which Appleton had been trying to join up with, reached the scene in time to observe the capture of the last ships of Appleton's squadron, but was outnumbered and forced to return to Porto Longone.
In 1652 the government of the Commonwealth of England, mistakenly believing that the United Provinces after their defeat at the Battle of the Kentish Knock would desist from bringing out fleets so late in the season, split their fleet between the Mediterranean and home waters. This division of forces led to a defeat at the Battle of Dungeness in December 1652, and by early 1653 the situation in the Mediterranean was critical too. Appleton's squadron of six ships (including four hired merchantmen) was trapped in Leghorn by a blockading Dutch fleet of 16 ships, while Richard Badiley's of eight (also including four hired merchantmen) was at Elba.
The only hope for the English was to combine their forces, but Appleton sailed too soon and engaged with the Dutch before Badiley could come up to help. Three of his ships were captured and two destroyed and only one (Mary), sailing faster than the Dutch ships, escaped to join Badiley. Badiley engaged the Dutch, but was heavily outnumbered and retreated.
The battle gave the Dutch command of the Mediterranean, placing the English trade with the Levant at their mercy, but Van Galen was mortally wounded, dying on 13 March.
One of the Dutch captains at the battle was son of Lieutenant-Admiral Maarten Tromp, Cornelis Tromp, who was to become a famous admiral himself.

The mood was inspired by the Malcolm Venville book of photography I was just looking at www.malcolmvenville.com/
Founded in 1801. The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (French: Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique; Dutch: Koninklijke Musea voor Schone Kunsten van België) are a group of art museums in Brussels, Belgium. They include six museums: the Oldmasters Museum, the Magritte Museum, the Fin-de-Siècle Museum, the Modern Museum, the Antoine Wiertz Museum and the Constantin Meunier Museum.
One of Vermeer's most beautiful paintings, in my opinion.
I love how it balances light and dark, the woman's peaceful countenance, the brilliant blue cloth, the warm shades of her jewelry box and her skirt, and the crisp white of her bonnet.
A print of this and a print of "Girl with a Pearl Earring", along with other Vermeers, decorate my walls.
Despite the themes of judgment and fate that are obvious in this painting (the "Last Judgment" painting on the wall, the "Justice"-type woman), whenever I see this painting I just get such a feeling of peace.
Ahhh....the beauty of a Vermeer!
....masters revisited......
