Today’s Sketch is from the Seattle art Museum’s Renaissance collection. It’s a Crucifixion by Lorenzo Monaco with the Virgin and St John watching. It was done in Egg Tempera in 1408.

I’ve been a fan of the fantasy adventure Journey to the West for a very long time. I remember several children’s books about the adventures of Monkey fondly. And when I became aware of the entire story as well as the original material (I recomend the Anthony Yu translation) I liked it even better.
On a side note I’m very fond of Stephen Chow movies and consider him the master of Wu Xia comedy.
So when I heard that his version of Journey to the West is coming out in China this year I was very optimistic.

For today’s Rhapsody we return to Gershwin‘s Rhapsody in Blue… Or the Glenn Miller version anyway.

Today’s sketch is from the Seattle Art Museum’s Porcelain Room. This one is of Psyche and Cupid. It’s an example of Rococo made around 1765 of 67 in Ludwigsburg Germany. The hard paste model is by Johan Christian Wilheimberger (1725-1806)
I rather like this one as it’s obviously Psyche who is taking the initiative.
