A blue, foggy scene at night. Looming out of the fog is a church, several windows glowing with an eerie blue light. Approaching the church in the foreground is a hunched-over creature with a long tail, arms out. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

"Movement will cease before we are weary of being useful."

Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci was born #OTD in 1452.

Leonardo's notebooks are perhaps as famous as his artworks, containing sketches, diagrams, and notes on a wide range of subjects. He made significant contributions to anatomy through his detailed anatomical drawings, which were far ahead of his time. He also conducted experiments in various scientific fields, including optics and aerodynamics.

The School of Athens

Raphael - Stitched together from vatican.va

It depicts an idealized gathering of ancient philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians engaged in dialogue. Central figures Plato and Aristotle stand beneath a grand architectural arch, symbolizing reason and knowledge.

#art #history: in 1939, billie holiday - born eleanora fagan on this day in 1915 - threw a punch with the release of her recording of 'strange fruit' - &, if she'd not persisted, it may not have been released until much later. columbia refused, at first (‘they won’t buy it in the south’), to let billie include it even though it had been a central & permanent pillar of her repertoire during her tenure at cafe society.

digital ink illustration of a wistful billie holiday, head in hands & eyes looking to her left.
a speech bubble near her left temple reads 'a strange & bitter crop'.
colours are chestnut, burgundy, pale pink & tomato red.

“If you just look at the archaeology of our top early medieval monasteries, Portmahomack stands out as exceptionally literate and book-orientated. The standard books will say there are no Pictish manuscripts. We need to flip that on its head and say that the Book of Kells is actually an exceptionally Pictish-looking manuscript.”

New research may rewrite origins of the Book of Kells

A gray, cloudy day. In the background is a range of steep cliff faces. In the foreground is a smaller cliff face, at the base of which is the opening of a cave. Reddish-yellow firelight comes from within, spilling out onto the gray grass. In the sky above, several hawks coast on the wind. This is a predominantly gray painting; the only color comes from the firelight. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

In the sky above are a few evidently scared crows. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person stands on the surface of what looks like a very small and barren planet. The surface is black, with a slight bluish tinge on the left side and a reddish tinge on the right. The curvature of the planet is clearly visible. Anchored to the planet by a long string and peg is another small planet a short distance away, hanging in the reddish-yellow sky. The left crescent edge of the planet is glowing yellow from sunlight. Two other similar-sized planets are visible in the sky, but not connected to anything. A few stars are visible. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

I saw my friend King sleeping in front of the ATM machines at 7-11 yesterday. I've been feeding this dog for many years. He used to live around the housing complex down the street from me but he migrated down to the 7-11 next to a small restaurant. Whenever I see him outside, I get him a snack. I got him a nice pork sausage yesterday. When you purchase art from me, you're helping my wife and I to help out many homeless dogs and cats in our town 🤍 #dogs #dogsofmastodon #love #artist #art
