Saint Raymond of Penafort (Penyafort)

1175-1275

Feast Day: January 7   (New), January 23 (Trad)

Patronage: Canon Lawyers, Civil Lawyers

Saint Raymond, born of Spanish nobility, became a brilliant scholar and teacher of philosophy and law. At 41 he became a Dominican. He was a founder of the Order of Our lady of Ransom, dedicated to the saving of Christians from the Moors. While he was the confessor to Pope Gregory IX, the pope asked him to compile the church decrees concerning canon law of the past 80 years into a uniform collection that didn’t change until 1917. He wrote a book of moral theology for confessors, was a Bishop of the capital of Aragon (at 60), the head of the Dominican order (at 63), and his last 35 years combated heresy and prayed and converted 10,000 Muslims.

Why were and are there so many different types of monks? What’s the difference between Benedictines, Cistercians, Carthusians, Norbertines, Augustinians, and other monks? Why were monks “Spiritual Warriors”? Discover here why there were so many different types of monks in the Middle Ages and the main medieval orders, and also the chief differences between these different monastic orders, at least in the Middle Ages.

Anyone But Moebius Monday: Austrian painter and printmaker Norbertine von Bresslern-Roth

Something that I really love about her animal art is that she conveys so much specificity even while using heavily stylized and simplified shapes. It's never a "generic bird," it's always clearly a particular animal/species being portrayed

The breadth of styles in which she worked is also pretty incredible

Saint Norbert 1080-1134 Feast Day: June 6 Patronage: Bohemia

Saint Norbert was born into a wealthy German family and lived a worldly life. In 1115, riding his horse during a storm, he had a literal “off his horse” conversion. He was thrown from his horse and when he woke up he asked: “Lord, what do you want me to do?” Our Lord said “Turn from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it.” Norbert completely reformed his ways, was ordained a priest and eventually Archbishop. He was given permission to preach against the heresy doubting the true presence and clerical reforms. In 1120, he started the Order of Premontre, using the rule of St. Augustine, emphasizing poverty, prayer and community life.

List of some of my favorite artists

Norbertine Bresslern-Roth: She was an Austrian printmaker and painter who was born in 1891 and died in 1978.

I absolutely love the softness that she captured in her artwork and the personality that shines through in her animal paintings. Her art changed later on into more of a graphical design due to the rise of printmaking and I really enjoy the shapes she captures in some of her later works.

Jessica Taylor: Honesty such amazing work. I'm inspired so much by her amazing knowledge in lighting and how it effects the mood in her drawings and how well it adds to the realism of the subjects she draws. Her social for those interested https://www.artstation.com/jesserintaylor

Franklin Booth: He was an early 20th century illustrator. As a child he would often look for references to study from to learn how to draw. He often referenced wood engravings, which would inspire him to draw in a very similar style but instead done with pen and ink.

Honestly I love this type of art. I have always been fascinated by pen and ink drawings and Booths works really wows me not with just the technical side but also his patience. Even though my hands ache while looking at some of his artworks lol I really enjoy them and just the amount of depth he was able to capture with just lines.

Jean Giraud- He was a French artist, cartoonist, and writer born in 1938 through 2012. He would also go by Moebius and other pseudonyms.

I really enjoy his works because of his use of color and line. Most of the lines made in his works look to me to be done by technical pens which use one single line variation. I also really enjoy how he uses color theory in many of his artworks including the one pictured above to the right, in which he use the complementary colors of yellow and purple with hints of orange that match the blueness of the purple.

So this was just a small list of some of my favorite artists ( if I added more we would be here all day lol) that I get inspiration from. Wanted to write this blog for myself as a nice way to have a place were I can go back and reference some of my favorite artists drawings but also to show others different artists that they may not know of.
