"Today we are holding a carnival, to which everyone has to bring a partner wearing some form of disguise, so that one man will be dressed up as a bear, another as a savage, and so on and so forth."
from
#TheDecameron
by Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375)

"Carnival is an obese drunkard astride a wine barrel, his lance a skewer of roasted meats. His foe: a wizened female figure armed with a baker’s paddle and two scrawny fish. She sits – somewhat precariously – upon a cart pulled by a priest and a nun."

Omg TELL IT!
One of the things that has been lost in the history of the Boston Massacre is that the citizens had assembled in protest of the murder of an 11 year old child who threw a brick through the window of a post house in protest of the Stamp Act and was killed by a British officer in retaliation
Paul Revere's 1770 engraving of the Boston Massacre is historically inaccurate, but helped inflame sentiments against the British. Revere omits Crispus Attucks, a formerly enslaved man of African & Native American descent— the first casualty.

Monet’s canvas is divided between a swirl of golden light along the parade route, and darker tones in the foreground. The only distinct figures are bourgeois gentlemen in staid top hats and frock coats, peering down from a balcony...

THE PEASANT DANCE is an al fresco frolic, with boisterous country folk cavorting to a bagpipe tune. THE PEASANT WEDDING brings the party indoors. Guests quaff beer and devour pies as the bride looks on, bemused and a little the worse for wear...

Building on the sentiment below, I'm watching Ken Burns' JAZZ series for the 3rd time.
I truly think Wynton Marsalis is a nice guy, a brilliant player, and an eloquent ambassador for his hometown & its greatest export.
But his commentaries are starting to grate on me at the moment 🤷🏻

Last night I watched a PBS documentary about Max Roach, and had a similar thought. These days, jazz (and related forms like the blues & soul) are pretty much the only things that still leave me somewhat optimistic about "the American experiment".
Maybe football. And barbecue.
But it's a short list.

Painted in 1873, 'Carnaval' depicts a Paris without the pomposity of the Second Empire or the proletarian rage of the Communards. As in Bruegel’s painting, viewers are presented with an elevated panorama of festivities.
