It has all these other levels of philosophical and reflective nature that make it very, very rich.

Long before the introduction of color film, a Russian chemist and photographer named Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky used an innovative technique. He took three individual black and white photos, each through a colored filter (red, green, and blue), to create fully colored, high-quality pictures. The photo of this woman, taken by him, is around 107 years old!

Your Ross / Crozier artwork is absolutely stunning! Do you think you'll sell it or offer prints when you're done?
Thank you!! You are too nice. I have never tried selling prints but if someone is interested I'll try to work out how to do it (any experienced artist around here who feels like giving tips will have my eternal gratitude)

#James Clark Ross#francis crozier#Ross Antarctic Expedition#franklin expedition#frmc#jcr#no really their friendship kills me every time#heartbreaking#and it gets worse if you think about JCR after Anne died#horrible#the poor guy left retirement to help save his best friend (whom he recommended for the position in the Franklin Expedition)#and couldnt save him either way#and THEN Anne whom he'd retired for in the first place (well more because her father but details) dies too

Julius Johannes Ludovicus Payer, since 1876 Knight of Payer (* 2. September 1842 in Teplitz-Schönau, Bohemia; † 29. August 1915 in Veldes (today Bled, Slovenia)), was an Austrian-Hungarian officer, polar and alpine researcher, cartographer and professor at the Military Academy, who also made a name for himself as a painter. He was deeply impressed by the tragic fate of the Franklin expedition and wanted to set a picturesque monument to Franklin and his sailors. He travelled to London and met with Franklin’s widow, Jane Franklin, as well as with Captain Sir Francis Leopold McClintock (who with his search expeditions under James Clark Ross and Horatio Thomas Austin as well as his own expedition, after the disappeared ships could contribute significant knowledge about their failure). After his return, Payer painted a cycle of four monumental paintings about the Franklin expedition, which have not been found for decades. Allegedly, they were privately owned in Belgium in the 1950s; their whereabouts have been unknown ever since. Only one copy and one study of the painting entitled “Starvation Cove” are known today, showing the tragic end of the last survivors in battle with polar bears. Otherwise, there are only black-and-white reproductions of the paintings that give an approximate impression of the monumentality and detail of the paintings. Among them is a depiction of Franklin’s death on board the Erebus. Payer used daguerreotypes of Franklin and his officers, made in 1845 shortly before the ships’ departure, to realistically depict the persons in his paintings.

I saw this while scrolling away and I had to share the cutest type of seal (to me, of course. Every Seal Is Valid) the Mediterranean Monk Seal or Foca Monaca.
#mediterranean monk seal#foca monaca#the cutest sea puppy#sadly an endangered specie#I have a lot of funny memories of them#once we had this silly seal that LOVED to sunbathe on the hotel beach. right next to the ombrelloni#and the wwf people had to come and tape off her private section of the beach#she spent the whole day sunnying herself and looking like a spare tire#and in the evening she would play with people swimming in the area#in my next life I want to be her#Youtube
