Quentin Massys, also attested as Quinten or Kwinten and with the surname Matsys or Metsys or Matsijs, (Louvain, 1466 - Antwerp, 1530) - Madonna enthroned with Child (circa 1525) - oil on oak wood 138.2 x 91.5 cm - Gemäldegalerie, Berlin
La Madre di Dio è mostrata a figura intera quasi a grandezza naturale. Si siede su un trono di pietra, i cui lati sono adornati da colonne levigate di marmo rossastro. La parete di fondo forma un arco aperto, decorato con trafori gotici, che si inserisce nell'estremità semicircolare del tavolo. Maria indossa un abito blu con maniche iridescenti rosa e grigio-blu e un mantello rosso vivo che si estende in morbide pieghe sul gradino del trono fino al pavimento, che è disposto con piastrelle colorate. La testa di Maria è coperta da un velo trasparente che le ricade sulle spalle e avvolge il bambino inginocchiato sulle sue ginocchia. Il motivo del bacio, che dona all'immagine solennemente rappresentativa della Madonna un tocco di intimità, proviene dall'arte di Leonardo da Vinci. Il trattamento dei volti con le transizioni di luce e ombra appena percettibili testimonia la conoscenza e l'influenza dell'arte di Leonardo. Nella cura del paesaggio e nella natura morta preziosamente dipinta stesa sul tavolino davanti al trono della Madonna, Massys è completamente impegnato nel realismo dei dettagli dell'arte olandese. Le ampie vedute del paesaggio su entrambi i lati del trono mostrano l'influenza dell'arte paesaggistica di Joachim Patenier, per i cui paesaggi Massys a volte dipingeva le figure. Il giardino recintato con la siepe di rose e la fontana sull'altro lato del trono indica il significato profondo della nostra immagine della Madonna. Ricorda l'immagine dell '"hortus conclusus" tratta dal Cantico dei Cantici di Salomone, che simboleggia la verginità e l'impeccabilità della Madonna. La natura morta in primo piano ha anche un significato simbolico. Le ciliege rosse e luminose sono associate a un riferimento al sangue del Signore versato sulla croce, mentre la mela è da interpretare come un simbolo del peccato originale cancellato da Cristo. Pane e vino alludono al sacrificio di redenzione, che si rinnova perpetuamente nella Messa.
The Mother of God is shown almost full-length. She sits on a stone throne whose sides are adorned with polished columns of reddish marble. The back wall forms an open arch, decorated with Gothic openwork, which fits into the semi-circular end of the table. Maria wears a blue dress with pink and grey-blue iridescent sleeves and a bright red cloak that extends in soft folds on the throne step to the floor, which is arranged with coloured tiles. Maria's head is covered by a transparent veil that falls over her shoulders and envelops the child kneeling on her knees. The motif of the kiss, which gives the solemnly representative image of the Madonna a touch of intimacy, comes from the art of Leonardo da Vinci. The treatment of the faces with the barely perceptible transitions of light and shadow testifies to the knowledge and influence of Leonardo's art. In the care of the landscape and the preciously painted still life on the table in front of the Madonna's throne, Massys is completely committed to the realism of the details of Dutch art. The wide views of the landscape on both sides of the throne show the influence of Joachim Patenier's landscape art, for whose landscapes Massys sometimes painted the figures. The enclosed garden with the rose hedge and the fountain on the other side of the throne indicate the profound significance of our image of the Madonna. It recalls the image of the "hortus conclususus" taken from Solomon's Song of Songs, which symbolizes the virginity and impeccability of the Madonna. The still life in the foreground also has a symbolic meaning. The red and bright cherries are associated with a reference to the blood of the Lord shed on the cross, while the apple is to be interpreted as a symbol of original sin erased by Christ. Bread and wine allude to the sacrifice of redemption, which is renewed perpetually in the Mass.

Ad accoglierci nell’atrio di ingresso di un ristorante del Sud c’è questa preziosa statua in legno dipinto dell’Arcangelo Gabriele, che risale ad ignoto scultore del Quattordicesimo Secolo. I proprietari l’hanno scoperta nella soffitta della vecchia casa dei trisavoli e intendono venderla.
Purtroppo il capolavoro è monco della mano destra e di parte della sinistra.
The entrance hall of a restaurant in the South is home to this precious painted wooden statue of the Gabriel Archangel, which dates back to an unknown sculptor of the Fourteenth Century. The owners have discovered the work in the attic of the old house of great-grandfathers and intend to sell it.
Unfortunately, the masterpiece is maimed right hand and the left.

A couple days earlier these signs were all placed in the bike lane. That's ridiculous to think it's safe to force cyclists to weave out of the bike lane into car traffic which hasn't slowed down because the signs are well out of the way.
This way cars are more likely to slow early (to protect their precious paint job) and cyclists can ride a straight line within the buffered zone.

not sure what this guy is thinking... but his adorable mutt has adapted.
tied to his owner's roof rack he had the freedom to roam around the truck bed.
at times (like in the top pic) he seemed to truly be enjoying himself, letting the 70 mph winds blow his ears straight back.
then other times (bottom left) he seemed to be trying to get the plastic tubing covering the chain (to protect the driver's precious paint job, no doubt) to hold his ears down so they wouldn't flap.
take at look at the last picture and decide for yourself what that face says.
