I love this painting.
There's such a hidden story there.
Is the painter being annoying?
Is the painting meant to be put above the snack drawer her already chunky husband keeps raiding?
Or is she judging us through the mists of time?

In 1433, the Duke of Bedford wanted some goods from London for his Calais household. He asked for a customs waiver from the king, and he got it. And what did he need?
- 5 casks of porpoise
- 2 casks of eels
- 98 bows w/ bowstrings
'cause that's how you party.

In Santa Maria Novella, Florence, Masaccio's Trinity is under restoration. For a small fee, you can go up the scaffolding and have a close look (priceless!). The two details here are the presumed patrons whose identification remains uncertain. They sure gave us a good one.
