Today’s ArtDrop is an oil of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, as ‘Vertumnus’ the Roman god of seasons, fruit trees & gardens. This style of painting was called "scherzo” then, but the artist, Giuseppe Archimboldo, is usually classified as a Mannerist. This editor also clumps him in with Grotesque art.

Can we do a release of the art auction files so we can have transparency surrounding who is buying art for obscene prices?

Today’s ArtDrop is Franz Stuck’s Symbolist oil painting, ‘The Guardian of Paradise” from 1889.
The image shows the athletic masculine figure of a youthful angel with spread brown wings. His body is tightly wrapped in white fabric that leaves his shoulders bare.

Today’s ArtDrop is a decorative oil painting ‘Sleeping Beauty’ by Leon Bakst from 1913.
The image is of a vertical painting full of pattern and decoration. It could be a lavish illustration from a fairytale book.

Pochoir (French for “stencil”) is a highly refined, labor-intensive hand-coloring printmaking technique developed in late 19th-century France. This method involves applying vibrant pigments, typically opaque gouache or watercolor, through a series of precise stencils onto paper.

I have to prune back put the rose and put it to bed for the winter today. The rose bush grew so much this year! The stems are so thick and hearty at the bottom I can't really trim them back to get the cover over them anymore. I was using the styrofoam cones, then I switched to big styrofoam coolers.

Today’s ArtDrop is ‘Carved Tyre’ by Wim Delvoye from 2013.
The image shows a used tire that the artist has hand carved with openwork interlaced motifs from ornate wood carving common in Asian countries. The finished project elevates the item from castoff to artifact.
