Joseph Mallord William Turner
“For Turner, colour was never an autonomous phenomenon or an aesthetic end in itself; he used it to establish ephemeral effects, which allowed him to leave traditional depiction behind. This was highly radical. He was convinced that his paintings were of great relevance to the world, and I have for many years been inspired by the sense of confidence communicated through his work and the idea that the ephemeral could carry meaning into society.” – Olafur Eliasson, Tate 2014
Joseph Mallord William Turner was the outstanding British painter of his generation. He challenged the conventions of the time, with new techniques and subject matter. Turner often shocked his contemporaries with his loose brushwork and vibrant colour palette. His work often portrays the development of the modern world.
In ‘The Lungernsee by Moonlight,’ as in other works from his Swiss series, Turner deals heavily in contrast, using mustard yellows and earthy greens against mauve and ultramarine shadows to trace the path of reflected light from the waxing crescent moon. All of this is soothed by the sea-green reflections in the lake’s luminous waters. His technique of building up colour over layers of translucent washes and flecks of paint help refine this subtle evocation of twilight, making it feel at once tranquil and energetic.
Turner had a lifelong fascination with the sea. His depiction of the sea is everchanging, like the sea itself. Sometimes his paintings delight in its calmer face, revelling in tranquil surfaces reflective of golden sunlight. But he was also fascinated by the sea’s potential as a destructive force: his canvases include terrifying waves, storms and shipwrecks.

"This 2023 presentation celebrates the remarkable figurative work of Barkley L. Hendricks (1945–2017) through a focused selection of portraiture drawn from private and public collections. This pioneering American artist, who counted the Frick among his favorite museums, continues to inspire artists and designers today...
Barkley L. Hendricks revolutionized contemporary portraiture with his vivid depictions of Black subjects that emphasize the dignity and individuality of his sitters. Beginning in the late 1960s, his work drew from and challenged traditions of European art, and The Frick Collection—with its iconic portraits by Rembrandt, Bronzino, Van Dyck, and others—was one of his favorite museums.
Through a selection of some of Hendricks’s finest portraits displayed in the context of the Frick’s holdings, this exhibition celebrates and explores the remarkable work of this pioneering American painter with an unprecedented display of paintings drawn from private and public collections. Organized by #AimeeNg, Curator at the Frick, and Consulting Curator #AntwaunSargent, Barkley L. Hendricks: Portraits at the Frick considers the complex place of European painting in Hendricks’s art and the evolving role of the Frick in modern American culture."

The painting explores the relationship between mistresses and maids and the writing and receiving of letters. It demonstrates Vermeer's technical virtuosity: bravura strokes suggest the pleating of the yellow mantle; shorter, bold strokes signify the flickering light reflected on the glassware; and dots of impasto convey the shimmer of the pearls.

Het Rijksmuseum krijgt de prachtige ‘Dame en dienstbode’ in bruikleen van The Frick Collection, New York, voor de tentoonstelling Vermeer volgend jaar! We kunnen niet wachten de twee dames te mogen ontvangen in Amsterdam.
Het schilderij toont de relatie tussen minnaressen en dienstmeisjes en het schrijven en ontvangen van brieven. Het demonstreert Vermeers technische virtuositeit: virtuoze streken suggereren de plooiing van de gele mantel; kortere, krachtige lijnen duiden op het flikkerende licht dat op het glaswerk wordt weerspiegeld; en impasto-stippen brengen de glinstering van de parels over.

While Vermeer often set his interior scenes in light-filled spaces decorated with paintings, tapestries, or wall maps, the dark background of this painting focuses attention on the action taking place: A maid passes a letter to her seated employer, who is so struck by what the maid has said that she has dropped her pen and raised a hand to her chin in a gesture of concern or surprise. The mistress-and-maid theme was a popular subject for Dutch genre scenes of the seventeenth century, as was the drama and intrigue around the exchange of letters.

Johannes Vermeer (Dutch, 1632–75)
Johannes Vermeer (/vərˈmɪər, vərˈmɛər/ vər-MEER, vər-MAIR, Dutch: [vərˈmeːr], see below; also known as Jan Vermeer; October 1632 – 15 December 1675) was a Dutch Baroque Period[3] painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life. During his lifetime, he was a moderately successful provincial genre painter, recognized in Delft and The Hague. Nonetheless, he produced relatively few paintings and evidently was not wealthy, leaving his wife and children in debt at his death.[4]
Vermeer worked slowly and with great care, and frequently used very expensive pigments. He is particularly renowned for his masterly treatment and use of light in his work.[5]
"Almost all his paintings", Hans Koningsberger wrote, "are apparently set in two smallish rooms in his house in Delft; they show the same furniture and decorations in various arrangements and they often portray the same people, mostly women."[6]
His modest celebrity gave way to obscurity after his death. He was barely mentioned in Arnold Houbraken's major source book on 17th-century Dutch painting (Grand Theatre of Dutch Painters and Women Artists) and was thus omitted from subsequent surveys of Dutch art for nearly two centuries.[7][a] In the 19th century, Vermeer was rediscovered by Gustav Friedrich Waagen and Théophile Thoré-Bürger, who published an essay attributing 66 pictures to him, although only 34 paintings are universally attributed to him today.[2] Since that time, Vermeer's reputation has grown, and he is now acknowledged as one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age.
Similar to other major Dutch Golden Age artists such as Frans Hals and Rembrandt, Vermeer never went abroad. Also, like Rembrandt, he was an avid art collector and dealer.

Quadriceps
The quadriceps femoris muscle (/ˈkwɒdrɪsɛps ˈfɛmərɪs/, also called the quadriceps extensor, quadriceps or quads) is a large muscle group that includes the four prevailing muscles on the front of the thigh. It is the sole extensor muscle of the knee, forming a large fleshy mass which covers the front and sides of the femur. The name derives from Latin four-headed muscle of the femur.

The 28-year-old fell after the landing and suffered an ACL tear and partial tears of both menisci in his left knee.
"The surgery went very well. The ACL was replaced by the quadriceps tendon and the injured menisci were fixed. Stephan Leyhe will have to remain in the hospital for a few more days before he will be able to start with the rehabilitation", explained knee specialist Dr. Manuel Koehne.
