okay to talk about somethin a little random

the capitvating princess got that change in portraits at one point, though the game still switches btwn both, and im just hm. i know they often don't think about historical context with designs but i will.

So the art changes from having her hair up to having her hair down. Which, if you're aware, adult woman in the victorian era Did Not wear their hair down, typically. It wasn't respectable, and you were expected to begin wearing it up in your later teen years (and of course, having long hair was a point of pride. often hair would be bought from poorer women and girls for the comesitc usage of the wealthy. anyway tangent there).

all that is to say, i find it interesting that the princess has her hair down in the second potrait, considering her highlight as The Top of society and her renown.

So random potential thoughts:

a) in doing so it shows a level of not caring; she is above all the expectations and can do what she wants, can show off the length of her hair. it is her who sets the trends and no one elses expectations can force her actions

or

b) it incites a sort of youthful level to her appearance (despite her actual age). a further level of false security around a predator.

OC x Canon week: Day 1 @theocxcanonweek

Prompt: Play fighting, Kuroo x Emi (Haikyuu)

Dialogue: “Yeah it’ll totally be weird if we kissed” Kiyoko x Yuri (Haikyuu)

Fashion: Historical, Xander x Seraphina (Fe fates)

Kuremi…., fuck them two. I was struggling with a pose- with picking a couple. Garry fucking oak was the runner up. But I bailed for another prompt for my boy Garry. This piece was actually faster than I Imagined (probs because I was tried and wanted to get something out). This piece was straight forward other then the previously mentioned issues and the only other problem was the fucking background like wtf why is it so hard. Thankfully Pinterest carried me and found me some good poses (ikik it's not really playfighting but uhhhhh guys playfighting poses doesn't exist Ig) and my main inspo was Miss Mai (I MISS MAI I LOVE YOU) mid piece but considering the time pretty good 6/10 Black cats

For Kiuri, I wanted to make a comic for my favourite lesbian and her straight crush. “She likes a boy” by Nxdia was on loop during this piece wile I was dying but I wanted to make this piece gay, cute, pink and the panels not scroll made (does that make sense??????) also ist apparently I can’t find (ground??????) kaebeadon so I had to use my big thinker brain. Also I changed Yuri to be Gyaru last minute just because her old hair was so hard to draw like wtffffffff. Uhhhh cute bows and hearts to spruce it up. Yeah I don’t hate it but god I wish I could have thinner line art. 9/10 lesbians

Xanderphina my love, I created the art on a whim after looking through old paintings and landing on this masterpiece

"Composer Miháy Mosonyi and his wife" By Henrik Weber, Or as me and my brother had dubbed- the Girlboss painting.

Such a slay piece- my only issue was that I could not replicate the girlbussy she has. Also I had such a hard time picking the background colours and the frame colours wtf. Miss Loola gave me the good old potrait addiction. The fashions was hopefully Victorians ish enough, I tried my best lmao 8.5/10 Nohrian scum

What If your favorite historical figure is in Ikemen Vampire Universe

My Favorite Is:

Raden Saleh Syarif Boestaman

Potrait painting Saleh Syarif Boestaman by Carl Johann Baehr

Raden Saleh Syarif Bustaman

(1811 – 23 April 1880) was born in the village of Terboyo, near Semarang on the island of Java in the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia).

He was born into a noble Hadhrami family; his father was Sayyid Husen bin Alwi bin Awal bin Yahya. He was the grandson of Sayyid Abdullah Bustam through his mother, Raden Ayu Sarif Husen bin Alwi bin Awal. Through his sister, Roqayah, Raden Saleh was uncle by marriage to the famous religious leader Habib Ali Kwitang.

He was considered to be the first "modern" artist from Indonesia (then the Dutch East Indies), and his paintings corresponded with nineteenth-century romanticism which was popular in Europe at the time. He also expressed his cultural roots and inventiveness in his work.

Potrait painting of Raden Saleh by Friedrich Carl Albert Schreuel in 1840.

Young Raden Saleh was first taught in Bogor by the Belgian artist A.J. Payen. Payen acknowledged the youth's talent, and persuaded the colonial government of the Netherlands to send Raden Saleh to the Netherlands to study art. He arrived in Europe in 1829 and began to study under Cornelius Kruseman and Andreas Schelfhout.

It was from Kruseman that Raden Saleh studied his skills in portraiture, and later was accepted at various European courts where he was assigned to do portraits. While in Europe, in 1836 Saleh became the first indigenous Indonesian to be initiated into Freemasonry. From 1839, he spent five years at the court of Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who became an important patron.

From Schelfhout, Raden Saleh furthered his skills as a landscape painter. Raden Saleh visited several European cities, as well as Algiers. In The Hague, a lion tamer allowed Raden Saleh to study his lion, and from that his most famous painting of animal fights was created, which subsequently brought fame to the artist. Many of his paintings were exhibited at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Several of his paintings were destroyed when the Colonial Dutch pavilion in Paris was burnt in 1931.

Studio Potrait in 1872

23 April 1880, Saleh suddenly fell sick. He claimed that he was poisoned by one of his servants, and subsequently died; however post-mortem examination showed that his circulatory system was disrupted due to a clot near his heart. Saleh was buried two days later in Kampung Empang, Bogor. As reported in Javanese Bode newspaper, 28 April 1880, his funeral was "attended by various landheeren [landlords] and Dutch officials, and even by curious students from nearby school.

Raden Saleh Painting

During his stay in Paris, Saleh met Horace Vernet whose painting frequently took themes of African wildlife. Compared to Vernet, Saleh's painting seems to be more influenced by the romantic painter Eugène Delacroix. This could be seen in one of Saleh's work, Hunting Lion, 1840, which has similar composition to Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People. However, Werner Kraus, a researcher in the Southeast-Asian Art Center of Passau, Germany, said that Saleh "never mentioned Delacroix. Perhaps he saw Delacroix's, and possibly Vernet's, works during an exhibition.

And one of my favorite painting by Raden Saleh is:

The Arrest of Pangeran Diponegoro

Raden Saleh is particularly remembered for his historical painting, The Arrest of Pangeran Diponegoro,   which depicted the betrayal of the rebel leader Prince Diponegoro by the colonial government, thus ending the Java War in 1830. The Prince was tricked into entering Dutch custody near Magelang, believing he was there for negotiations of a possible cease-fire. He was captured through treachery and later deported.

The event had been previously painted by a Dutch painter Nicolaas Pieneman, commissioned by Lieutenant General Hendrik Merkus de Kock. It is thought that Saleh saw this painting during his stay in Europe. Saleh made significant changes in his version of the painting; Pieneman painted the scene from the right, Saleh from the left.

Pieneman depicts Diponegoro with resigned expression, while in Saleh's he appears to be outraged. Pieneman gave his painting the title Submission of Prince Diponegoro, while Saleh gave The Arrest of Pangeran Diponegoro. It is known that Saleh deliberately painted Diponegoro's Dutch captors with large heads to make them appear monstrous, as opposed to the more proportionally depicted Javanese.

De onderwerping van Diepo Negoro aan luitenant-generaal baron De Kock by Nicolaas Pieneman 1830–1835.

Raden Saleh’s work has been regarded as a sign of incipient nationalism in what was then the Dutch East Indies / Indonesia. This can also be seen it the depiction of Diponegoro's men. Pieneman had never been to the Indies, and so depicted Diponegoro's men in a more Arabic fashion. Saleh's version has a more accurate depiction of native Javanese clothing, with some figures wearing batik and blangkon.

Saleh finished this painting in 1857 and presented it to Willem III of Netherlands in The Hague. It was returned to Indonesia in 1978 as a realization of a cultural agreement between the two countries in 1969, regarding the return of cultural items which were taken, lent, or exchanged to the Dutch in the previous eras. Even though the painting did not fall under any of those categories, because Saleh presented it to the King of the Netherlands and it was never in the possession of Indonesia, it was nevertheless returned as a gift from the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, and is currently displayed at the Merdeka Palace Museum in Jakarta.

My sketch prototype

I'm still trying to improve my digital art skill. And i think i will try to write story au about him in Ikevamp universe. I'm sorry for my bad English 😭😭

[thesassymarquess]

I can add a small bit of info on her. I believe she’s lived in my fort since 106-107, but I’m not exactly sure, I’ll try to crack open legends later to search for her & Kulet later. I’m pretty sure the 2 other older kids are also born in the fort?

As for the small potrait/fort sprites, in my experience DF Premium only generates a dwarf sprite for a creature if it visits one of your forts or is encountered in adventure mode. In my experience I can’t say I’ve seen a creature in adventure mode and then checked them in a fort without them being there, like a relative. As far as I know all my “living relatives” for my dwarfs that have sprites all migrate with them.

Ustuth has a few relatives and such that are historical figures without sprites, and I’ve never seen a creature in fort mode that wasn’t a historical figure, only in Adventure Mode have I encountered non-historical figures with sprites. Presumably because all figures at a Fort automatically get names in case you click them and therefore are saved as historical figures

Did you find your missing baby?

Not yet. Kulet is still missing. I admit my schedule has been rough for playing DF as of recent, and my most recent time has been spent on a new fort (The Sea Adventure, a Sinister Ocean/coastal embark). Kulet is from my 4th Fort (Idk the name it was too long). Short summary of my forts though:

1st Fort, Bustmoment: -Tutorial embark. Went fine initially, set up large bedroom complex, good dining hall, and food/alcohol production. Decent traps for surface entrance. Lack of understanding of how Fortifications work lead to bad usage of them, and ultimately made the surface defenses scary to operate. Meanwhile I breached the first cavern layer and only the first, and got involved in a nasty war on Olm people, that kept dragging my dwarves into the lake. Eventually after losing a major military engagement, I dropped the save and made a new world. (I didn't know about Retirement at the time)

2nd Fort, Steelfortress: -The infamous war on birds started here. Embark was a neutral badlands with high savagery & a light aquifer. Aquifer posed no challenge and I was within a year having settled with all three caverns pierced, and a decent magma forge set up. Traps and such were more aggressively deployed, and there were more than a few battles (Internally referred to as the "Great Cavern Wars" against Ant-People) to carve out certain areas underground for farming. Ultimately what drove me to abandon this fort was a 9 month long battle against giant flying agitated wildlife. During that I built up a decently large and armored military, which while incapable of fending off the birds, was apparently itching for World Domination. (More on that later. Though also on another post of mine)

3rd Fort, "Lake of Something" (Name forgotten again): -Having felt a High Savagery was too much & Light aquifers too easy, I searched for a heavy aquifer and got a lake location I liked. After starting the first year, and trying to dig down, I almost immediately hit the heavy aquifer and got stuck for over a year trying to get things stable, and set up a method to pierce the aquifer before beginning to build the fort proper. Unlike the previous forts which had surface trading depots, I decided to move this one underground. Like other forts before and after, I then began to quickly dig towards the bottom, and set up small areas within each cavern to work in, or blocked them off after discovering them. Ultimately nothing particularly notable happened that sticks out in memory, but the fort was ultimately abandoned due to the Cave Adaptation fix update rolling around. Knowing most dwarves had likely developed it in this fort, I decided to take a break from Fortress mode, and play some Adventure mode.

(Which I decided to retire my second fort, as my save of it was in the worst condition of the three, and I originally wanted to retire the fort by "Succumbing to internal invaders" or similar but a standard retirement was an option and I viewed as more desirable)

4th Fort, Desert Mines of Good (or something): -After playing around in Adventure Mode in the 2nd fort's world, I got an itch to start a new fort again, and was talking with my brother. We ultimately came to pick a fort in a Good and Neutral biome cross between "Desert?", badlands and Grasslands. Among world history, as it shares a previous fort, I decided to embark from that Civ again. Just to find out when the Liason came by, that 2 of my 3 dwarven neighbors were at war with me. Going through Legends mode further told me it was my Civ that seemed to have started the war, with all attacks coming from my prior fortress after I retired it. The whole time I was trying to rescue kidnapped children from Goblins in Adventure Mode, it turns out my fort was just attacking EVERYBODY. I played this one until around 1-2 weeks ago, when I began wanting to try messing with some mods for the first time.

4.5th fort, Some volcano Fort I think?: -I had a friend over and I was talking about DF, as you do, and he got curious about the game and wanted to see what it was like. So I booted the game up, showed world gen, we picked an embark, and then retired it to go to it in Adventure Mode. We then made an ideal character for him, and then foolishly rolled up a Worm Man with over 100 pet worms, and crashed the game. I haven't talked with said friend yet, and was gonna play in that world when talking with them.

5th Fort, The Sea Adventure: -That leaves us with our current fort. It's a sinister oceanic embark, and I brought a few adventurers there, including a Dwarf-me, a dwarf-version of my brother, and an anomalocaris (one of the mods) woman of one of my roommates (And their cat as a pet cat, who died to Goblins). Originally the plan was to grow Sliver Barbs & catch Precambrian Arthropods for an aquarium, but I don't know how to do the later half. The Roc attacks have been on this fort.

Scallops as symbol

Mr Mathews in his reidentiication of Catherine of Aragon’s portrait by Sittow, has claimed that Catherine had no reason to wear scallops, because her symbol was pomegranate. But he had gave no reason why Mary Rose would wear them. They weren’t her symbol either”

Mr Mathews ignored the detail otherwise, as if he was thinking the symbol of scallops is otherwise completely unimportant. Hence he didn’t bother to research it. But in 1957 whole book was published about it-The Scallop: Studies of a shell and its influences on mankind.(and you can still buy it over interenet, it’s not even expensive.) That alone should give you clue, it is not unimportant subject.

In historical paintings no detail is unimportant, everything there has some symbolism and while i didn’t buy the book yet, I tried my best to find some of the historical examples of scallops and their associations and symbolism.

1)Shell of St. James the Great, symbol of this apostle  and of Way of St. James(Camino de Santiago), the pilgrimage to Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. 

St. James the Great was patron saint of Spain and his shrine in Santiago de Compostela is to this day, the most famous and visited pilgrimage site in all of Spain.

To say the symbol of scallops is still asociated with Camino de Santiago, might be understatement.

Not always the typical shape, but it is everywhere!

One of these is from Brussels! And on wikipedia, another example is from Poland! Among catholics, this is very famous pilgrimage, and very famous symbol asociated with it.  

Why scallop? St. James used scallop to beg for food and water, showing that even poorest can fill the small shell and help him along the way-which is also why it is symbol of journey to his shrine.

Catherine made this pilgrimage on way to England.(and he says no reason!)

Catherine wasn’t only one in her family who comemorated her pilgrimage with golden scallops, Isabella made the pilgrimage too:

And on occasion, very similiar jewelry can be found in Iberian potraits:

Francisco de Los Cobos y Molina by Jan Gossaert:

 Pilgrim badges, were of course mostly made from something cheaper than gold and rare stones. Lead or lead-tin alloy usually.

Badges to wear around your neck on strong, or to pin to your clothes were however not only thing you could comemorate a pilgrimage, another is for example is ampulla(ampullae).  Ampullae were designed to carry holy water and were sold as souvenirs at sites of Christian pilgrimage, typically bearing imagery relating to the saint venerated there.

Which interestingly when it comes to scallops doesn’t have to necessarly be pilgrimage to Saintiago.Other shrines including Mont-Saint-Michel, Rocamadour, Cantenbury and Cologne adopted the motif of scallops as well. Never as prominently though. 

For ampullas some sort of shell was very popular motive, and not all were from Santiago. For example this one is from Cantenburry:

Had Mr Mathews been smart, he’d use this as his reasoning for why Mary Rose would wear it. Maybe she made pilgrimage to Cantenbury. 

Nowadays the Way of Santiago is usually asociated with white scallop:

Or all kinds of natural scallops(guess where Pope John Paul II was visiting?):

And for some reason this blue and yellow combination, where shell is almost unrecognizable and more resembles the sun:

Certainly around Santiago de Compostela souvenirs in some shape of scallops are plenty, from natural scallops to ceramics, metal and other. 

2)Other religious asociation is with St. Augustine of Hippo(no association to St. Augustine of Cantenbury-which is surprising). However, in paintings usually the scene with child has some other sea-shells, not neccesarly scallops.

3)baptism

St. Augustine was strong advocate for child baptism, scallops were in past and still are  in christianity asociated with baptism, even in shrine where he(nor St. James the Great) is not venerated.

Often the baptismal font or the items to do with baptism have scallops on them. or some other shell.

4)ancient and renaissance art and architecture

Prior christianity shells in general were asociate with fertility, and in Ancient Greek and Rome it was often part of architecture and also some everyday items. When renaissance art picked on, combined with its asociation with christian meaning, shells became popular symbol not just in architecture, but all of renaissance art. Probably the most famous example of renaissance scallop is the one Botticelli’s Venus is standing upon:

and Venus was asociated with Scalops in roman times too, it was also symbol of feminine principle, of love and fertility.

While romans mozaics of scallops on their own, didn’t inspire christians that much and some might have been asociated in antiquity with sun:

This roman vessel proves that ampulas(which were already in early christianity), were inspired by roman items. 

It is possible romans already used such items when worshipping their gods. I know from watching Time Team, that roman religious sites in Britain often were around water, with pilgrims throwing objects into water for luck. Which is often what christians did with those pilgrimage badges in the end(if they didn’t just show them off). So basically this roman tradition hold on. And who knows, it might predate Romans.

3)French order of St. Michael

Usually St. Michael is depicted slaying the dragon. The necklace is from tassels forming bows, and of scallop shells or some other shells.

There is plenty of portraits of order’s members, proudly displaying their collars.

Alfonso I d'Este, Duke of Ferrara:

Of course one could argue Mary Rose was French bride, her husband was member, so maybe scallops were to do with him. But that doesn’t explain the Netherladish outfit, nor K and C initials(which could stand for Charles or Karolus in Latin). (But I know the hood is 1st half of 1500s, so I know it isn’t her. You can tell by lenght of the frill)

Another problem theory of order of St. Michaels, is that it got founded in only 1469. While Camino de Santiago was way older!

4)Heraldy-called Escallop(shell of scallop) or heraldic shell

I could go on whole day how many families had scallops in their coat of arms. But I’d rather just post link, so you can see for yourself:

https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/wiki/Category:Scallops

And here is link to the various shapes:

http://heraldicart.org/escallop/

Some don’t even resemble scallops that much. Some look like napkin in shape of dove. Nevertheless Mary Rose nor Catherine of Aragon have no heraldic ties to scallops as far as I am aware.

Hope you’ve enjoyed it.

Potrait of a Lady on Fire

I watched this movie last night. It's beautiful.

[thesilliestbeanburger]

This is so true! I don't want to see ai generated potraits! I want real, human historical paintings. Not something a bot made.

Stop treating fake paintings like real paintings.

Why is my for you page covered in fake AI generated pre-raphelite art. They even write on a date from the late 19th century and makeup and artist and then I have to go check the tags and it says “AI art” very tiny right at the end like I’m sorry you said “Samuel Anders, 1872” what are you doing!!!!! Just admit it’s AI don’t go and Victorian-bait me!
