Hellelil and Hildebrand, the meeting on the turret stairs, by Frederic William Burton.

The painting depicts an intimate, poignant moment between two lovers in a narrow medieval turret stairway.

On the left stands Hellelil, a medieval noblewoman dressed in a magnificent flowing gown of deep, vibrant blue.

On the right is Hildebrand, a knight or warrior in full medieval armor:

He wears chainmail covering his head (a mail coif), arms, and legs
Over the chainmail is a rich crimson or burgundy surcoat decorated with elaborate gold embroidery or tooling showing heraldic or decorative patterns
A large sword hangs at his side, suspended from an ornately decorated belt and scabbard with intricate metalwork
His legs are wrapped in cloth bindings (leg wrappings or hose) over the mail
Brown leather boots
His head is bowed, and his eyes are closed, lost in the embrace
One armored hand reaches around to hold Hellelil

Beskow's first book, "Sagan om den lilla, lilla gumman", was published in 1897. It was followed by "Tomtebobarnen" (1910), "Pelles nya kläder" (1912) and "Tant Grön, tant Brun och tant Gredelin" (1918). In her honor, the Elsa Beskow Award was established in 1958 by the Swedish Library Association. This award is given annually to the best Swedish picture book illustrator.

Illustration from Children of the Forest (Tomtebobarnen, 1910) by w:Elsa Beskow (1874 – 1953). ISBN 08-631-5049-7

The accompanying caption in Swedish explains that the elves (älvorna) lives behind a huge mossy boulder and come out at night to dance in the moonlight. The children of the forest (lit. the "w:tomte children") are trying to play w:seesaw with them, but the elves are so light and tender that even though they are eight and the children only two, they don't weight even.

Landscape in a match box.

Maybe not a very exciting scene, but the place means something to me. And now I can take it anywhere! 😊

#embroidery #sewing #craft #fiberarts #art

An aerial view of four fields (one in each corner) with a road going between them horizontally and a river going between them vertically. The image is embroidered with lots of French knots for trees in the hedgerows. The scene fits in a match box and is shown in the swan vesta box with a plant in the background.

#notesArt #mastoArt #art #illustration #inktober day 29: lesson

In a craggy, remote place, a witchlike figure stands next to a large black cauldron with glowing greenish smoke boiling up out of it into the dull blue evening sky. The cauldron is lit yellow-orange from below by fire. The witch isn't looking at the cauldron, though; they're looking at a laptop perched on a stool. While the screen is too small to be legible, someone familiar with YouTube will have the impression that the witch is watching a YouTube video tutorial. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt #mastoArt #art #illustration #inktober day 28: skeletal

The mighty Captain America, resplendent in a blue suit with patriotic red and white stripes and a white star on the front. Captain America is, unfortunately, a skeletal figure, emaciated and hollow. His red boots and gloves are too large, and he seems barely able to hold his circular shield with the red and white stripes, a white star on a blue circle in the center. He stands in a gray, listless space, alone. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Silent Sunday 💫

#art #mastoart #fediart #fantasy #scifi #speedpaint #krita #silentSunday #digitalArt #noai

We are on an alien planet. A psychedelic sun in the far distance catches our attention. Cities are aligned to the sunbeams, reaching far into the distance. Giant stone statues are worshipping the sun. On the left, they are holding planets with different colorations from blue to yellow. On the right, the statues have empty hands. Do they take turns with this precious responsibility? The clouds follow the sun, and stars shine brightly.

The side of a house at night. The roof and porch column are decorated with red, white, and green holiday lights. The lights are connected to a small grayish box on the side of the house. The box has two icons, one of a Halloween pumpkin and one of a Christmas tree. It also has a large switch next to the icons. The switch, which one can presume was set to the Halloween setting yesterday, is now in the Christmas tree position. The sky is blue and filled with stars. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

"Self-Portrait," Marie Benoist, 1786.

Marie-Guillemine Benoist (1768-1826) was obviously very talented, having painted this while only in her teens. And she went on to be an acclaimed neoclassical and historic painter. She was initially trained under Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun and later under Jacques-Louis David, so she had guidance from some of the top talent of her day.

She became an in-demand portraitist, and even had commissions from Napoleon Bonaparte himself. She enjoyed quite a big of success...until the Bonaparte era crumbled. In the face of growing conservatism in Europe, she tactfully retired from public life and only rarely painted.

I love the energy depicted here...it's so obviously the work of someone very young and very excited and confident.

From the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe.

#Art #SelfPortrait #NeoClassicism #MarieBenoist #WomenAritsts #WomenInArt

A Neoclassical painting. The artist depicts herself in a Grecian-style robe, with the right shoulder slipping down and nearly baring a breast. Her hair is tied back with a ribbon but also cascades down her back. Her seat is covered with a gold cloth. She holds assorted brushes in her left hand, and her right applies a brush to the canvas before her, a portrait of a child that happens to look with wonder at her. She gazes out cheerfully at the viewer.

The cavernous industrial interior of a spaceship. The walls appear to be made of some harsh, concrete-gray substance, and have various odd striations and geometric formations. The floor is flat and gray. In the lower right is a circular pipe or something in the wall; in the top right, there are three glowing vertical bars of greenish-white light. In the center is a huge round window through which is visible a black, deep-space sky full of stars and a blue planet. The planet has a slight blue color to it, and does not look like there is any life on it. Sitting on the lower part of the window is a gray cat with its tail hanging down, looking out through the window.

Illustrated vintage pin-up calendar from 1952.

A blonde woman with a girl-next-door face sits on the ground and leans forward on her arms. She wears just a silky blue shirt that ever so barely reaches the top of her thighs. Her right knee is bent and her long left leg stretches out behind her, toes pointed like a dancer. She looks over her shoulder and smiles at the viewer.

At the bottom, text says:

Although you're an expert hunter,
A dead shot with a dash o' luck,
Better sharpen your aim for this fair game—
She's no man's sitting duck.
