Victoire Auguste Antoinette, Duchesse de Nemours (1822-1857) was a beloved cousin and friend of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. She died while in exile with other members of the French royal family at Claremont, near Weybridge, having given birth to her fourth child. Her husband commissioned her tomb from Chapu, one of the principal French academic sculptors of the second half of the nineteenth century, whose work influenced the British sculptor Alfred Gilbert and the 'New Sculpture' movement. Chapu has created a moving naturalistic effigy, with its loose tumbling hair, of an untimely death. Both Victoria and Albert wrote emotionally about her lifeless body; Albert thought she looked "like an angel of beauty" and the Queen described her as "so dear, so good, one of those pure virtuous unobtrusive characters who make a home."
On display in the National Gallery, London.
Vermeer's serene depiction of a keyboard player gazing directly at the viewer is also an idealised image of virtuous love.
The Great Marzipan Project -
Follow in Franzisca Baruch's footsteps.
Franzisca was a German Jewish virtuous Graphic designer and a typographer,a colleague and a friend of my grandfather the typographer Henri Friedlaender.
In the first years after she had moved to Jerusalem (Back in 1933),To earn a living she sold Marzipan cakes by her own special design under the brand name "Tufiney Baruch" (Baruch's Biscuits).
This project of Ronit Vered and mine is a homage to her work .
We had this project in our minds for a long time, and we waited patiently for the perfect timing-
On 20 October 2015 The Israel Museum, Jerusalem opened the exhibition "New Types: Three Pioneers of Hebrew Graphic Design," in collaboration with the German Literature Archive at Marbach and with the support of the Goethe Institute. The exhibition, curated by graphic designer Ada Wardi, will present the work of three groundbreaking designers, each an expert in his or her field: Dr. Moshe Spitzer ; Franzisca Baruch and Henri Friedlaender .

Some people always think well of their neighbor, as much as true charity allows them to do. They can't see virtue without praising it, or a virtuous person without loving them (XII:383).
Olive loves to ride around the neighborhood on our golfcart. She was just getting settled in for her ride when Greg got an important phone call. So here she is, patiently waiting.
