kiss ma lips now
“The mouth, with its opening joining the red of the lips to the flesh of the face, seemed to be real flesh rather than paint. Anyone who looked very attentively at the hollow of her throat would see her pulse beating: to tell the truth, it can be said that portrait was painted in a way that would cause every brave artist to tremble and fear, whoever he might be.”
-Giogrio Vasari, Lives of the Artists (1550)

Joachim Patinir (Netherlandish, Dinant or Bouvignes, active by 1515–died 1524 Antwerp) - The Penitence of St. Jerome c. 1512-1515
“Acknowledging Patinir’s leading role in a new genre, Albrecht Dürer referred to the artist in 1521 as the “good landscape painter.” This intact altarpiece was probably a German commission, since its exterior wings show Sebald, patron saint of Nuremberg, and Saint Anne with the Virgin and Child. Following Netherlandish tradition, large-scale sacred figures dominate the foreground of the interior: Saint John baptizing Christ, Saint Jerome, and Saint Anthony the Hermit with the monsters that assailed him. The picture’s true subject, however, is the magnificent panoramic landscape, which the viewer is encouraged to travel through visually in the manner of a pilgrimage.” - The Met
