Venus Preventing her Son Aeneas from Killing Helen of Troy

Artist: Luca Ferrari (Italian, 1605 – 1654)

Date: c. 1650

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia

Description

The subject of a violent murder averted at the last minute by the miraculous intervention of a god or an angel occurs in several stories in Classical Greek and Roman mythology and also in the Old Testament. Such subjects were very popular in Italian Baroque painting, for they provided an ideal vehicle for high drama, angular lines of rapid movement, bursts of energy and suspense. This fine example, with its strong light and low arc of flailing, grasping hands, is based on an episode in Book II of the Aeneid, the ancient Roman epic poem by Virgil.

Luca Ferrari was a pupil of the Bolognese master Guido Reni, whose influence is clearly visible in the faces of Venus, centre, and Helen, on the right. Ferrari was also profoundly influenced by Caravaggio, whose unique approach to theatrical subjects of this kind is here visible in the handling of Aeneas’s face and in the robust veins and sinews of his left wrist and right forearm.

Team LH having the biggest competition first will.i.am now George Lucas. Those not familiar with the lore, Lewis is very good friend with Mellody Hobson, she's an investor and also George Lucas wife. This as well:

It's so beautiful that Lewis has got amazing family and friends who support him. That's why it'll always crack me up when people criticise him for not being close friend with other drivers because 1st who says he isn't friends with them and 2nd even if he's not so what you don't always have to be friends with your colleagues.

Ferrari GG50 by Giorgetto Giugiaro 

Concept cars are usually made before those who go straight into production. That is the reason why they are called so. Concepts do not limit the imagination of designers, but when the car comes into production, engineers take a more important role. As a result, a lovely concept of a car can sometimes become an ugly duck.However, that is the case about Hyundai, Nissan, Opel and other manufacturers that are producing millions of cars per year. It does not include the exclusive ones – Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, etc.This is a story about a car which life has been turned upside down. The production model came at first and the concept was shown off just a year after. This is a story about Ferrari GG50 ��� the concept car that Giorgetto Giugiaro made himself in 2005 while celebrating the 50th anniversary of creating stunning car designs.

The GG50 is based on Ferrari 612 Scaglietti series production car  – a four-seater with a front engine and rear wheel drive - a true Italian prancing horse. It has a twelve-cylinder, 5,7-liter engine under the hood, which generates 540 bhp and 588 Nm. At the time, turbochargers became extremely popular, but Ferrari tried to remain as traditional as possible. However, most engines manufactured in Modena were still highly revolutionary.

Like the original 612 Scaglietti, the following concept has the same 6-speed sequential rear-mounted gearbox, Brembo brakes, and other equipment. The main difference hides is design – the place where Giorgetto feels best.

Giugiaro took the idea a year before official presentation of GG50 and received all the support from Ferrari President at that time, Luca di Montezemolo. He gave the designer just one condition: no restrictions on creativity, but the concept must keep up with Ferrari tradition. Giugiaro started working on the concept half a year after. He did everything just like 50 years ago: sketched every detail entirely by hand, with a pencil. Finally, he created a 1:10 scale concept from four views: side, nose, tail and bird’s view. Later, the concepts were rendered in a 3D project. In April, a full-scale plaster model has been made. In June, a running prototype has been completed already! The concept has made its way from a scratch to running car in less than just five months. That’s the spirit when you’re in a hurry for your own birthday present.

Almost all technical details mentioned above remained the same except for some minor exceptions. The prototype’s wheelbase is the same, but overall length is shorter by 9 centimetres than the original 612 Scaglietti (4.81 meters vs. 4.9). The concept car is also lower – Giugiaro cut 2 centimetres of front overhang and nipped the rear by 7. There are more differences that we cannot see from outside. For example, a modified position of the 95-litre fuel tank that created a larger boot (270 vs. 240 litres). Also, a flat platform when rear seats are lowered (and a total capacity of 500 litres). The concept is more practical, no matter how funny the word “practical” sounds when we are talking about Ferrari.

Nevertheless, there are many stories about the concept’s appeal and originality. Ferrari GG50 is a true masterpiece because of the story of its creation. A very few production cars in history can boast that they have been a base for a concept car, but 612 Scaglietti is one of them.

Ford v Ferrari | 2019

'Arguably the most memorable collaboration between Miles and Shelby, the Ford GT40 is an icon in its own class. Miles and Shelby worked tirelessly together to perfect the GT40’s design and capabilities. Their masterpiece led to the historic victory at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, where they defeated Ferrari, surreptitiously dethroning his five-year victory streak.'

LE MANS 66 2019

There's a point at 7,000 RPM... where everything fades. The machine becomes weightless. Just disappears. And all that's left is a body moving through space and time. 7,000 RPM. That's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up on you, close in your ear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you?

I bought a RB backpack for work and the F1 heat map hoodie.

The situation will become too dire to continue if verstappen.com goes on sale as well and the bank will be forced to lock my card.
