yet another Three Kings Day, AD 2010 - :)
I wish you happy 'Trzech Kroli' aka 'Los Reyes Magos' or Feast of Epiphany holiday.
And taking this opportunity to share with you some paintings and details showing horses and horse tack.
First, you can take a look at the Adoration painting cerated by one of the late Northern Renaissance master painters Jan Mostaert, from Haarlem in then Hapsburg Netherlands.
This Adoration was painted between 1520 and 1525 AD.
in this lady's portrait maestro Jan also painted a horse and Saint Hubertus' conversion
While this painting contains no horse nor horse-subjects it is a spectacular one, - but then de gustibus and coloribus non disputandum est - said ancient Romans..

...and a German woodcut from 1503AD by the maestro Albrecht Durer himself

ReplyDeleteFox news commentator Carslon Tucker slams 'chest-beaters' cheering US strike on Soleimani - interesting commentary - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlcsuJtXYkM
this researcher, Narges Bajoghli, is interesting in the context of the Iran's Republican Guard and the Persian nation - https://sais.jhu.edu/users/nbajogh1 - and she was interviewed by the extreme leftist platform the Democracy Now (Amy Goodman doing the interview) but the interview is rather interesting, I think, so I will link it here https://www.democracynow.org/2020/1/6/narges_bajoghli_qassem_soleimani_assassination_iran
