Jozef Brandt - Prayer in the Steppes, and 'el Apagon' in Iberia

 Salvete Omnes,

a short, quick entry as the Blackout (el Apagon) in the Iberian Peninsula still persists in many places - my prayers for the people - remember, your cash is king, not the digital wallets and other digital nonsense. 

and two paintings by Jozef Brant - Prayer in the Steppes - which may represent the story of taking of the Holy Icon of the Armenian Mother of God from the Kamieniec Podolski Armenian Cathedral in the face of the Ottoman Turkish invasion in 1672AD.

the special atmosphere of this work - neither night, nor twilight, nor the early morning, where mysterious things may occur to people and animals and even the nature. 
all the best
