Even though not referred to as a Friesian this is a horse from Friesland - the Dutch province that Friesians orginated in - that shows the same features and likely gives a sense of the breeds earlier origins and appearance.

[fernnshxj]

I have been listening to Epic: The Musical (highly recommend, very good, I cried-) and I was reading @willowthearts’ RC9GN and then I realized that some lyrics of the song No Longer You reminded me of Finja and Kuno:

… I see a song of past romance (their relationship before the big blow up, cause I assume they were on decent terms until then)

I see the sacrifice of man (How Finja’s men died in the fight thingy)

I see portrayals of betrayal (When Finja called Kuno a witch)

Bonus, sad Häxa/Joan stuff that was remembered by these lyrics of the same song: I see you on the brink of death (how Neph saw Häxa getting weaker due to her sickness, getting closer every passing day)

I see you draw your final breath (how Neph saw Joan finally fall asleep for the last time and her soul separated from her now deceased body)

Lol, kinda angsty don’t you think? Just wanted to say a thing or two, give ya something interesting to read :3

i dunno what epic the musical is (being a fan of musicals myself lmfao-)

After Decades Long Battle, Cheetahs Can Be Reintroduced in India

https://sciencespies.com/news/after-decades-long-battle-cheetahs-can-be-reintroduced-in-india/

After Decades Long Battle, Cheetahs Can Be Reintroduced in India

Cheetahs once darted across the Indian subcontinent, their numbers so plentiful that the revered Mughal emperor Akbar was said to have kept a stable filled with 1,000 of the spotted creatures. But by the mid-20th century, the cheetah had been declared extinct in India, pushed to the brink by threats like habitat destruction and overhunting. Now, as Joe Wallen of the Telegraph reports, the country’s supreme court has ruled that the fleet-footed cats can be reintroduced to the country on an experimental basis, approving a plan that has divided conservationists.

The court’s ruling was prompted by an application filed by India’s National Tiger Conservation Authority, which sought permission to transfer cheetahs from Namibia, according to the Hindustan Times. In light of the ruling, authorities will move forward with identifying a suitable habitat for the program, assessing such factors as prey availability and the potential for human-cheetah conflict. Among the sites that have been suggested for the relocation are the Kuno-Palpur Wildlife Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh, the Velavadar National Park in Gujarat and the Tal Chapar sanctuary in Rajasthan.

As Namrata Kolachalam reported for the Atlantic in September, the Indian government has spent decades trying to bring cheetahs back to the country. As far back as the 1970s, officials tried to secure the big cats from Iran, which today is home to the world’s last stand of Asiatic cheetahs—a struggling population of fewer than 50 individuals. Conservationists worked to increase populations of cheetah prey like the Indian antelope and Indian gazelle. But negotiations crumbled after the Islamic Revolution of 1979.

Decades later, plans to clone Asiatic cheetahs also came to naught. So proponents of the reintroduction program shifted focus to importing African cheetahs, a distinct subspecies from the Asiatic cheetah.

The new approach has drawn criticism from both conservationists and scientists. For one, experts are divided over the degree of genetic differences in cheetah subspecies, and whether those differences matter. “It would be like having an African lion in a wild park in Europe,” conservation geneticist Pamela Burger of the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna tells Kolachalam of the reintroduction plan. “Of course, you can have that, but then it’s an African lion living in Europe. Not a European lion.”

There are more acute concerns, as well. According to the Hindustan Times, some activists say that none of the proposed habitats in India are large enough to accomodate cheetahs, and that these areas do not have enough prey to sustain the big cats. “Serengeti National Park in Tanzania has an area of 14,750 square kilometres brimming with prey base,” the publication notes. “[T]he proposed Indian wildlife habitats do not have an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers, and with much less prey base than the African homes of cheetahs.”

Also fuelling concerns is India’s inconsistent record when it comes to managing big cats. Thanks to intensive conservation efforts, the country’s tiger populations are said to be growing at a rapid rate. But lions that were introduced to the Chandraprabha sanctuary in Uttar Pradesh in the 1950s were “poached out of existence,” according to the BBC. In the summer of 2019, it was revealed that more than 200 lions had died in the Gir forest region of Gujarat, mostly due to infections and illness. Environmental lawyer Ritwick Dutta of the Legal Initiative for Forest and Environment in India tells Kolachalam that the plan to introduce cheetah’s to India’s natural landscape is “a clear case of misplaced priorities,” one that will detract from efforts to protect endangered species already living in the country.

But some conservationists are enthusiastic about the possibility of bringing cheetahs back to India. The animals are listed as “vulnerable” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and transporting African cheetahs to new habitat could improve their long-term viability, Kolachalam writes. Proponents also say that the reintroduction project will only move forward once potential habitats have been fully assessed for their habitat, prey stock and risk of human-cheetah conflict.

Former environment minister Jairam Ramesh, who initiated the reintroduction program ten years ago, said he was “delighted” by the Supreme Court’s ruling. “It is,” he claims, “a momentous occasion.”

Exploring rare species in India

With more than 400 wildlife sanctuaries and 80 national parks, India is a great destination for anyone who wants to explore different forms of wildlife, trees, plants and even some rare species. From panthers to tigers, elephants to rhinos, leopards, sloth bears, birds, monkeys, red pandas and more. From the smallest of creatures to the largest, you can have an unforgettable time. Enjoy the sound and sight of a majestic royal Bengali tiger prowling through its territory, explore the Indian Cobra, learn about the amazing Asiatic Lion and see, in person, a Great One Horned Rhinoceros.

Four rare species to explore

There are a lot of protected and endangered species that live in these national parks and sanctuaries around India. Everything you can do to help them, learn about them, donate to their protection and to protecting their habitats is essential. Here are four of the more rare species you can still find in India.

Royal Bengali tiger - On the Indian subcontinent there is a population of less than 3500 wild Royal Bangal tiger. India has the majority of those numbers at somewhere between 2,603–3,346. This tiger is the National symbol of India and can be found in a small number of places including the Ranthambore National Park and also the Sariska Tiger Reserve. It is one of the largest of the big cats and is thought to have lived around India for more than 12,000 years! While there are efforts to save it the issue is that the reserves are not large enough. An effective population number needs to be able to handle more than 250 adults. But the loss of habitat, fragmentation of habitat as well as poaching continues to bring these tigers to the brink of extinction.  

Indian Cobra - Also known as the Asian Cobra or Spectacled Cobra, this is a very large snake that is highly thought of in India and is usually the snake you see with snake charmers. It is very venomous, one of the four most common causes of snakebites in the country. It has been under protected status since 1972.  Most adults range from 1 to 1.5 metres in length though some have been seen over 2 metres. It can live in a range of different habitat types, open or dense forests, rice fields, plains, wetlands, rocky terrain and even in cities and villages.

Asiatic Lion - The Asiatic Lion can be found in the Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in Gujarat though efforts are being made to also establish it in the Palpur Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh. Historically it had a much wider range from northern India to the Middle East. There are an estimated 674 lions, the numbers have increased since May 2015 when there were 523. But it remains at serious risk.

Great One Horned Rhinoceros - Found in the northeastern areas of India the Indian Rhino is the fourth largest land animal that has one horn. Popular places to visit and see them are Manas Park, Orang national park, Kaziranga National park, dubara forest and Pabitora reserve forest.  

Summary

Whether you are looking to catch up with a Royal bangal tiger, the Indian rhino, or some other creature India has so much to see!

Iris van Dongen wint Thérèse Schwartze prijs

Dit jaar is de Thérèse Schwartze prijs uitgereikt aan portrettiste Iris van Dongen. Deze prijs wordt sinds 1920 uitgereikt aan veelbelovende Nederlandse Portretkunstenaars door de Thérèse van Duyl – Schwartze Stichting.

 Thérèse van Duyl – Schwartze

Thérèse van Duyl – Schwartze (1851-1918) was in haar dagen één van de belangrijkste portrettisten van Nederland. Haar tijdgenoten noemden haar wel de ‘Koningin der Nederlandsche schilderkunst’. Naast het koningshuis portretteerde zij leden van de adel, bankiers, grote industriëlen, politici, wetenschappers en prominenten uit de culturele wereld. Het was opmerkelijk dat Schwartze, als vrouw in de late negentiende eeuw, zo succesvol was binnen de kunstwereld. Schwartze leerde het schildersvak van haar vader en werd van jongs af aan klaargestoomd voor het kunstenaarsbestaan. Zo introduceerde hij haar bij vooraanstaande families als de familie Van Loon, haar eerste opdrachtgever, waarvoor zij al op 15- jarige leeftijd schilderde. De familie bestelde maar liefst vier generaties lang portretten bij Schwartze. Vlak na de dood van haar vader in 1874, vertrok Thérèse voor een jaar studie naar München en vervolgens ter inspiratie naar Parijs waar zij naast de wereldtentoonstelling ook vele salons bezocht. Vanaf het midden van de jaren tachtig werd Thérèse Schwartze steeds succesvoller. In de Franse salons hing haar werk op ooghoogte en in 1889 behaalde zij haar grootste triomf: een gouden medaille voor haar zelfportret. Haar werk resulteerde in een fortuinlijk leven met drie panden aan de Prinsengracht te Amsterdam waarvan de bovenverdiepingen functioneerden als haar atelier. Na haar dood werd een overzichtstentoonstelling georganiseerd in het Stedelijk Museum te Amsterdam.

Thérèse van Duyl – Schwartze Stichting

Bij het overlijden van Thérèse van Duyl – Schwartze in 1919 was haar faam zo verbreid, dat er reeds een half jaar later een stichting werd opgericht om de gedachtenis aan haar in stand te houden. De oprichters; schilderes Lizzy Ansingh, kunstschilder E.H.D. Schaap en hoogleraar Nicolaas van der Waay, hoopten aan de hand van deze stichting de nagedachtenis aan de befaamde kunstenares in stand te houden. In de statuten staat dat ook ‘steun dient te worden verleend aan behoeftige Nederlandse beeldende kunstenaars en het in stand houden van de Nederlandse portretkunst’. Het bestuur van de Stichting reikt de Thérèse Schwartze Prijs sinds 1920 uit aan veelbelovende Nederlandse portretkunstenaars. De prijs werd onder andere toegekend aan G. Röling, Sjenk Schröder, Kuno Brinks, Herman Gordijn, Marlène Dumas, Emo Verkerk en Juul Kraayer.

 Iris van Dongen

Iris van Dongen (Tilburg, 1975) is geboren in Tilburg en studeerde van 1992 tot 1996 aan de Academie voor Kunst en Vormgeving in s’- Hertogenbosch. Momenteel woont en werkt ze in Berlijn. Van Dongen schildert meestal vrouwen, vaak meer dan levensgroot. Gekleurde patronen – paisleymotieven, ruiten en Colenbrandermotieven – zijn vaak zowel in de achtergrond als de kleding van de geportretteerde te zien. De vrouwen lijken in zichzelf gekeerd te zijn en staren melanchonisch voor zich uit. Van Dongen werkt vaak in houtskool, pastelkrijt en verf en gebruikt deze materialen door elkaar heen.

De prijs werd aan Van Dongen uitgereikt omdat zij een interessante en ingewikkelde manier van portretteren beheerst. Haar werken vallen onder de noemer portretkunst, maar in zeker zin ook niet, want de afgebeelde vrouwen zijn niet zozeer individuen, als wel krachten. Omdat het Iris van Dongen is gelukt om het gesprek met een groot aantal kunststromingen te voeren zonder verbinding met haar eigen thematiek te verdunnen getuigt zij van een uitzonderlijk kunstenaarschap. De portetten op papier lijken niet bedoeld om personen te vereeuwigen, maar meer aan het licht te willen brengen hoe geest en lichaam elkaar doorschijnen. Haar werken nodigen zodoende uit tot het overpeinzen van wat een pose of een figuur betekent, en in welke verhouding de psychologie van de figuur tot haar omgeving staat. De figuren komen niet zozeer als model, maar eerder als persoon naar voren. Daarnaast is het durven werken met voluptueuze ornamentiek heel eigen te noemen.

Ter gelegenheid van deze prijs is een presentatie met werken van Van Dongen te zien in Museum Van Loon tot en met 4 september. In de stijlkamers van het huis worden de hedendaagse portretten gepresenteerd tegenover de Van Loon portretten door Thérese Schwartze.

02:02 AM: Forgive Me, For I Have Sinned

Interior (Budget, Budget, Phone Cam Lang At Gimbal Gamit)  Car (Panawid Sa Plot Twists Kuno, Bebe)  Static Playing On The Background (Establish Mong Wala Na Silang Paki Sa Mundo Kuno Kasi Pa-Artsy Tayo)  Hazard Lights On Because Tabing-highway Life Is Real (Indie Daw, Pero Low Budget Prod na Bukang-buka Bokeh) Sedated South After Midnight (Murakami, Baby!) Hulaan mo na lang kung girl, boy, bakla, tomboy, butiki, baboy para may input ka naman sa kwento (Gender Fluidity Para Sa Pagbabago, Mga Gago)  Not for the faint-hearted. I was actually cringing when I penned this. Had to stop at times kasi sumasakit ulo, puso at kaibuturan ko. Kathang-isip lang ito na may halong reality bites the dusk. Oo, dusk. Love ko takipsilim e. Saka ‘yung gender fluidity ni F. Mercury. Hahahahaha. Again, read at your own risk. Bawal judgers. Alis. Pwe. Layas.  02: Game ka na ha? Ang greatest sin ko is I killed someone.  20: Grabe. Akala ko matinde na ‘yung kasalanan ko. Tangina naman. Baba na ba kita dito? Legit na natatakot na ako sa’yo ngayon.  02: Kasi kakakilala pa lang natin o kasi hindi mo inakala na may darker side than your dark side ako?  20: Serial killer ka ba? Rapist ka ba? Ano ba ‘to?  02: Ayan ka e. Overactive na naman imagination mo.  20: Shit. I remember now.  02: Na?  20: ‘Yung mga serial killers hindi mo sila mahahalatang serial killers sila. ‘Yung demeanor nila very calm and collected.  02: Just like me? Sabi mo nga ‘di ba? Bakit I seem like a good-natured stranger turned new found friend turned carpool buddy.  20: Jusko naman. Hindi ko naman pinangarap na maging ganito kamatayan ko. Sabi ko lang matindeng staged suicide na enough para makamit ng pamilya ko ‘yung insurance ko.  02: See? Ginusto mo ito e. Ginusto mong maging nasa scene of the crime na ito.  20: Too much Netflix and chill na ‘to. Netflix OG ha? Hindi CSI or mga SOCO. Damn. Plot is way thicker than I envisioned.  02: Suicidal ka talaga. I can not believe my luck. Dapat by this time... 20: Sinisipa na kita? I am kicking you out my car? Sigaw na ako ng sigaw ng tulong? Minumura na kita?  02: Yes. As the typical storyline goes ika nga.  20: Just in case you missed it...  02: Atypical ka nga pala.  20: Correction.  02: Politically incorrect na naman ako?  20: Not your basic, definitely not your average atypical breed.  02: You worship modifiers talaga. Iba rin.  20: Kung papatayin mo ako, might as well make it poetic.  02: Ah, cinematic pa rin ang peg kahit ganito na kaseryoso ang usapan.  20: So, ano na nga? Nalilihis tayo sa kwentong umaatikabo e.  02: Pati ba naman dito, you easily get bored? You are unbelievable.  20: I am in the same manner that I am not.  02: Contradictions and paradigm shifts. Only you.  20: Are you patronizing me?  02: Hindi. Fan lang.  20: Shit. Lakas maka-John Lennon assisination nito. Lorddeeee, whyyy?  02: Baliw ka talaga.  20: Ganito kasi ‘yan. Lahat ng tao may saltik. The world is just to proud to admit na baliw tayong lahat. All for the love of the game na and ending din naman ay dead end. Dead. Gone. Expired. Forgotten.  02: Legit bang you are in love with the idea of meeting death?  20: Let me put it this way. I have seen death in real life twice. I saw my lola naghihinanglo in broad daylight and my mom from the time na mag-weaken siya hanggang sa mag-give up lahat ng systems niya and eventually mag-expire. I even slept with her for solid 8 hours and had the gall to check her heartbeat one last time. Top that nicely with how I tried drowning myself in one of my trips and crashing my car for the first time then total wreck agad. I survived naman to tell the tale, so, I guess, I am not romanticizing death. I am but befriending it so I can understand and eventually, embrace it fully.  02: And the Miss Universe 2018 goes to...  20: Hindi naman kasi ako nag-I, thank you, pero, yes, dapat ganyan takada ng Miss Universe Q&A provided na mas may bearing na kasi dapat sa criteria ‘yung sagot kesa sa pag-rampa.  02: Daming hanash. Vaklang twoooooo!  20: So, ayun nga. Sinong napatay mo?  02: ‘Yung sarili ko.  20: Suicidal ka rin pala?  02: Gulat ka?  20: It is out of your character. Way out of your character.  02: Looks do not just deceive. Looks could kill.  20: Jusko. Serial killer ka nga. Can we skip the rapist part?  02: Kasi virgin ka pa?  20: Sige. Dukdok mo pa. Pakshit. Magkakatotoo rin ata ‘yung fearless forecast ko na I will die a virgin like my lolas na matatandang dalaga. Lorrrddeee, whyyy?  02: Pafall ka kaya.  20: Wow. May banat na ganu? Shit. May naka-something ba akong gusto akong balikan?  02: Ay. GGSS.  20: Gago. What I mean balikan is not balikan na kami na talaga or kami na ulit. Balikan na gantihan. Ctrl + Alt + Del kaya ako 5ever.  02: Iba ka rin talaga, ano? Legit pa-peak and pa-fall.  20: So, ano nga? May gusto bang balikan ako? Damn this conspiracy theory.  02: Hindi ka naman masamang tao.  20: Life and love and the world is never ever fair.  02: #HugotNation. Eto na. Babaha na.  20: Please. Kung magko-confess ka tapos papatayin mo ako, tapusin na natin ito. I deserve an explanation -an honest, in-your-ass-na-lalabas-sa-esophagus kind of explanation.  02: Hinay lang. I killed myself. Over and over again.  20: Lahat naman tayo ‘di ba?  02: I killed myself over and over again. Pero ‘yung rurok ng high sa tagumpay ng pagpatay e noong may napatay na akong iba. Because I went overboard over the idea of chasing death, nadawit best friend ko. Actually, ex ko siya. Nawitness ko paano siya namatay right in front of me and because of me.  20: So, you are indeed a serial killer na specializing with people you have romantic feelings for? Ganun? Too mainstream pero go on.  02: Gusto mo talaga ng details? Hindi ka natatakot?  20: Look, since I Netflix and chill with intet, ingat lang. Baka I have a camcorder cleverly concealed here. And baka naka-alert ka na sa mga pulis. See that ronda pulis? Baka inaantay lang nila mag-busina ako, then dakipin ka na nila. Teritoryo ko’to, just in case you don’t remember.  02: Ay. Palovean hanggang walang hanggan. Nakaka-pressure lalo. Nakaka-challenge.  20: I know. Sabi ko sa’yo e. Game all the way for wickedly twisted plots and plot thickeners.  02: Pero virgin ka pa rin kahit game na game.  20: O tapos?  02: Tapusin na nga natin ito. For once, allow me to share this darkest side of me.  20: Okay. Proceed. Handa na ako.  02: Roadtrip ‘yun. We were so basag and bangag. We were literally Puff the Magic Dragon levels sa SLEX. 180 ang takbo. Wala pang barilan ng sasakyan and it was 02:02 AM. Windows down. Fog everywhere sa kotse. We are having the time of our lives. Speakers blasting Nirvana’s You Know You’re Right, so alam na talaga. Hindi ako marunong mag-drive pa ng todo, but part of the dare was to let me drive ng not below 160 just for the kick of it. Just for the high. Just for the danger, the romance and the adventure. I was being caressed and at the brink of coming, then it happened. We hit a barrier na walang reflector. It was a concrete barrier na napadpad sa gitna ng kawalan. I heard a thundering screech then bilang na bilang ko ‘yung apat na ikot ng sedan niya. Apat na ikot. Bumaliktad ‘yung sasakyan. Buhay ako kasi naka-seatbelt. Nakita ko siya. Nakatingin lang siya sa akin. Hinanap ko ‘yung seatbelt kasi ‘yung adrenaline ko pumalo. Sinapak ako ng fight, fight, fight mentality ko. Wala siyang seatbelt. Kaya pala bloodbath levels siya. Syempre, hindi ko ‘yun narealize agad, until sinabi niya na sorry and thank you. Gusto niya kasi talaga ng epic na suicide. Gusto talaga niyang itawid ko siya sa kabilang side. Mahal na mahal ko siya. ‘Yung ako na non-negotiable na mag-violate ng batas trapiko and all laws of the land, sinantabi ko. Para sa kanya. Sinagad ko, kasi mahal ko siya. (10 solid minutes na pause comes in, tapos single hikbi)  20: So, napatay mo siya?  02: Hindi pero oo.  20: Hindi pa tapos?  02: Akala ko mahal na mahal ko siya, pero narealize ko after, sobrang toxic pala namin. Sobrang toxic namin to the point na niloko namin ‘yung buong mundo at lalo ‘yung sarili naman sa ngalan ng excuse na in the name of love.  20: You learned it. You earned it. The super hardcore way. And I think, that’s what’s important.  02: She survived but I did not know I killed the baby she was carrying.  20: Fuck. Tangina. Tangina. Tangina talaga.  02: I know. Saksak puso at kaluluwa.  20: Lampas hardcore. Hindi ko na yata kaya.  02: Sabi mo gusto mo ng plot twists and super plot thickeners ‘di ba?  20: Tangina lang.  02: Sinadya niyang patayin ‘yung bata. Bonus na lang na mamatay siya. Alam niya kasing iiwan ko na talaga siya. And ang naisip niya para balikan ako at parusahan ako at siya na rin e i-stage ‘yung suicide niya. Hindi lang ako gago. Sobrang nabulag ako sa idea na mahal na mahal ko siya.  20: Hence, the killer line na you killed yourself over and over again.  02: Alam mo, nagle-let go na ako ngayon paunti-unti, finally. Kaya eto, bayad-utang mode. Kaya ambait ko na.  20: Dapat sinagad mo na. Quitter ka pala e. Dapat naging serial monogamist ka na. Ang taas na ng threshold mo sa BS e. Iba. Solid gold levels. Ay, no. Titanium levels ang life skills. 02: Ay. Sinong baliw talaga?  20: I did not kill anybody na wala silang memo at wala akong memo. Sorry.  02: Shut up na ako.  20: I think not. In 3, 2, 1...  02: Tanginang pag-ibig ‘yan.  20: Sorry, but that is not love. It’s toxic shit cleverly concealed in the name of love lang talaga.  02: Alam mo na ngayon bakit sobrang lumanay ko na?  20: Sedation is next to ungodliness. My goodness.  02: Kaya everytime you affirm that I am doing something good, something nice, napapatigil ako ‘di ba?  20: Tapos lakas mo maka-contrabulate. 02: Lahat ng kahalayan at kahayupan sa mundo, natawid ko with flying colors. May standing ovation pa lahat ng demonyo at may tsunami levels ng iyak ng mga anghel at santo pari santa santitas and santa santitos.  20: Kabog na kabog ako.  02: Check na check tapos virgin ka pa. O ha?  20: So, nakulong ka ba?  02: Pinaghahanap ako ng batas.  20: Tangina. Pugante. So, ganito ba talaga ‘yun? Kayosi lang kita a. Lorddeee, why? Bakit naiwan ko lighter ko that time. Bakit?  02: Batas ng Diyos. Syempre, hindi ilalabas ng pamilya niya ‘yun. They are high profile. Baka mawala ang dynasty streak nila.  20: Jusko. SOCO na MMK. Baka maging Korina Sanchez na ‘yung next twist a. Eww talaga mainstream.  02: Baliw.  20: I told you. I am your above average atypical being.  02: Hindi ka takot sa akin?  20: Nope.  02: Hindi mo ko niju-judge?  20: Nope.  02: Talaga ba? O ng ti-trip ka na naman? Morally upright virgin ka e.  20: Ah. Ganun ba?  02: What do you mean? What’s up your sleeve?  20: It’s 03:03 AM na. Let me tell you something, too.  02: Ano ‘yun?  20: I killed someone, too.  02: Weh. Hindi nga.  20: I did.  02: I do not believe you.  20: Game ka na sa kwento ko?  

(Paki abangan ‘yung 03:03 AM. Inspired ito ng mga too millennial songs na pinarinig sa akin ng mga ex-teammates ko. Pero super pabebe lang nung kanila since puro heartbreak, hook up hang ups, no labels, atbp ‘yung takada ng mga kanta.)

Zo introduceerde hij haar bij vooraanstaande families als de familie Van Loon, haar eerste opdrachtgever, waarvoor zij al op 15- jarige leeftijd schilderde. De familie bestelde maar liefst vier generaties lang portretten bij Schwartze. Vlak na de dood van haar vader in 1874, vertrok Thérèse voor een jaar studie naar München en vervolgens ter inspiratie naar Parijs waar zij naast de wereldtentoonstelling ook vele salons bezocht. Vanaf het midden van de jaren tachtig werd Thérèse Schwartze steeds succesvoller. In de Franse salons hing haar werk op ooghoogte en in 1889 behaalde zij haar grootste triomf: een gouden medaille voor haar zelfportret. Haar werk resulteerde in een fortuinlijk leven met drie panden aan de Prinsengracht te Amsterdam waarvan de bovenverdiepingen functioneerden als haar atelier. Na haar dood werd een overzichtstentoonstelling georganiseerd in het Stedelijk Museum te Amsterdam.

Thérèse van Duyl – Schwartze Stichting

Bij het overlijden van Thérèse van Duyl – Schwartze in 1919 was haar faam zo verbreid, dat er reeds een half jaar later een stichting werd opgericht om de gedachtenis aan haar in stand te houden. De oprichters; schilderes Lizzy Ansingh, kunstschilder E.H.D. Schaap en hoogleraar Nicolaas van der Waay, hoopten aan de hand van deze stichting de nagedachtenis aan de befaamde kunstenares in stand te houden. In de statuten staat dat ook ‘steun dient te worden verleend aan behoeftige Nederlandse beeldende kunstenaars en het in stand houden van de Nederlandse portretkunst’. Het bestuur van de Stichting reikt de Thérèse Schwartze Prijs sinds 1920 uit aan veelbelovende Nederlandse portretkunstenaars. De prijs werd onder andere toegekend aan G. Röling, Sjenk Schröder, Kuno Brinks, Herman Gordijn, Marlène Dumas, Emo Verkerk en Juul Kraayer.

 Iris van Dongen

Iris van Dongen (Tilburg, 1975) is geboren in Tilburg en studeerde van 1992 tot 1996 aan de Academie voor Kunst en Vormgeving in s’- Hertogenbosch. Momenteel woont en werkt ze in Berlijn. Van Dongen schildert meestal vrouwen, vaak meer dan levensgroot. Gekleurde patronen – paisleymotieven, ruiten en Colenbrandermotieven – zijn vaak zowel in de achtergrond als de kleding van de geportretteerde te zien. De vrouwen lijken in zichzelf gekeerd te zijn en staren melanchonisch voor zich uit. Van Dongen werkt vaak in houtskool, pastelkrijt en verf en gebruikt deze materialen door elkaar heen.

De prijs werd aan Van Dongen uitgereikt omdat zij een interessante en ingewikkelde manier van portretteren beheerst. Haar werken vallen onder de noemer portretkunst, maar in zeker zin ook niet, want de afgebeelde vrouwen zijn niet zozeer individuen, als wel krachten. Omdat het Iris van Dongen is gelukt om het gesprek met een groot aantal kunststromingen te voeren zonder verbinding met haar eigen thematiek te verdunnen getuigt zij van een uitzonderlijk kunstenaarschap. De portetten op papier lijken niet bedoeld om personen te vereeuwigen, maar meer aan het licht te willen brengen hoe geest en lichaam elkaar doorschijnen. Haar werken nodigen zodoende uit tot het overpeinzen van wat een pose of een figuur betekent, en in welke verhouding de psychologie van de figuur tot haar omgeving staat. De figuren komen niet zozeer als model, maar eerder als persoon naar voren. Daarnaast is het durven werken met voluptueuze ornamentiek heel eigen te noemen.

Ter gelegenheid van deze prijs is een presentatie met werken van Van Dongen te zien in Museum Van Loon tot en met 4 september. In de stijlkamers van het huis worden de hedendaagse portretten gepresenteerd tegenover de Van Loon portretten door Thérese Schwartze.
