Portrait of John Keats

Date: 1821-1823

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: National Portrait Gallery, London

John Keats

John Keats (31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English poet of the second generation of Romantic poets, along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. His poems had been in publication for less than four years when he died of tuberculosis at the age of 25. They were indifferently received in his lifetime, but his fame grew rapidly after his death. By the end of the century, he was placed in the canon of English literature, strongly influencing many writers of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood; the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1888 called one ode "one of the final masterpieces".

Keats had a style "heavily loaded with sensualities", notably in the series of odes. Typically of the Romantics, he accentuated extreme emotion through natural imagery. Today his poems and letters remain among the most popular and analysed in English literature – in particular "Ode to a Nightingale", "Ode on a Grecian Urn", "Sleep and Poetry" and the sonnet "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer". Jorge Luis Borges named his first time reading Keats an experience he felt all his life.

This portrait Severn, who had nursed his friend in Rome, described the circumstances recreated in this posthumous portrait: 'This was the time he first fell ill & had written the Ode to the Nightingale on the morning of my visit to Hampstead. I found him sitting with the two chairs as I have painted him & was struck with the first real symptoms of sadness in Keats so finely expressed in that poem.'

May I put in a humble request that people adding propaganda via fic put it under a read more, especially if it's a full fic and not a ficlet?

Sounds reasonable 😅 the posts can get very long. So please, people, if more people think of adding (full lenght) fics, either just post a link to ao3, or put it under 'read more'!

The Washington Family

Artist: Edward Savage (American, 1761-1817)

Date: 1789-1796

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States

Description

This group portrait represents George Washington’s military, political, and family life. The president, in a Revolutionary War uniform, rests his hand on a plan for Washington, DC, the site for the new US capital. His wife, first lady Martha Washington, and her grandchildren join him at their Virginia plantation estate, Mount Vernon.

Research now suggests that the figure standing just outside the family group is Christopher Sheels, an enslaved attendant to the president. Unlike the four family members, Sheels is painted in shadow. Old damage to the paint makes it even harder to see his face clearly. Sheels’s presence signals that the president’s household depended on the labor of enslaved people, as did the economy of the young nation.

28 songs for the HSMTMTS S4 soundtrack and by the composers names it seems like all of the songs from HSM3 will be featured in the season + originals. Some of them composed by Josh. I am legit expecting the episodes to be at least 45 minutes each to cover all of this content.
