Degas presents a cheerful and festive scene, but from an unusual perspective – one theater visitors usually don’t get to see: the view of the musicians in the foreground to the dancers in the spotlight.

Henriette Sontag, born 1806, was one of the leading sopranos of her time. At the age of 18 she sang the solo soprano parts in the first performances of Beethoven’s 9thSymphony.

This miniature of Sontag is by Alessandro Fiocchi, after Franz Winterhalter.

@fineartsbelgium In this study of chicks dated 1858, Verboeckhoven succeeds in illustrating our feathered friends in great detail. The work exudes charm and spontaneity.

Based on a small oil sketch made in Algonquin Park in the fall of 1915, two years before the artist drowned in Canoe Lake, this masterful large-format painting was acquired in 1922 by the Art Association of Montreal.

Marco Rubio, June 2012.
National Review article excerpt. It reads: "On the other hand, when I hear some people accuse immigrants of destroying the American economy and culture and stealing jobs from American citizens, it stirs my anger, too. I can’t stand to hear immigrants described in terms more appropriate to a plague of locusts than human beings. And although I believe they are a small minority, I begin to wonder if some of the people who speak so disparagingly about immigrants would be just as worked up if most of them were coming from Canada."
