Judith Leyster (1609-1660), 'The Last Drop (The Gay Cavalier)', 1629 ”The costume that the standing figure wears over his clothes suggests that the setting is vastenavond, the night before the beginning of Lent, when people frequently went on binges in order to prepare themselves for fasting and abstinence. This painting speculates on the consequences of such overindulgence. In their dissipated state, the gay cavalier and his companion ignore the menacing presence of the skeleton, which bears an ominous hourglass in one bony hand and a skull in the other.” Source

A Minecraft-inspired landscape, painted in the style of Johannes Vermeer.

Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) was a Dutch Baroque painter who is widely regarded as one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age. He was known for his luminous and realistic depictions of everyday life, and for his innovative use of light and color.

Vermeer was born in Delft, Netherlands, and he began his artistic training at an early age. He became a master painter in the Delft Guild of Saint Luke in 1653, and he quickly gained recognition for his innovative and beautiful paintings.

Throughout his short but illustrious career, Vermeer produced a small but highly regarded body of work, and his paintings are known for their quiet and contemplative mood, their luminous light, and their meticulous attention to detail. He is particularly well-known for his depictions of domestic life, and his paintings often depict women engaged in everyday activities, such as reading, playing music, and pouring milk.

Vermeer's work was not widely known during his lifetime, and it was not until the late 19th century that his paintings began to receive the recognition and appreciation they deserve. Today, Vermeer is widely regarded as one of the greatest painters of all time, and his work continues to inspire new generations of artists and art lovers. Some of his most famous works include "Girl with a Pearl Earring," "The Milkmaid," "View of Delft," and "Woman Holding a Balance."
