#OTD in 1886.

The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works is signed. The treaty provides authors, musicians, poets, painters, and other creators with the means to control how their works are used, by whom, and on what terms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention

#books #art #copyright

The Pirate Publisher—An International Burlesque that has the Longest Run on Record by Joseph Ferdinand Keppler, published as a centrefold in Puck, v. 18, no. 468 (1886 February 24). A commentary on the state of copyright laws that, prior to a 1911 treaty, generally offered no protection to foreign authors and works. In the cartoon, hordes of German, Norwegian, French, English, and American authors surround a publisher who republishes their newly-created works without attribution or royalties in a foreign country, as international law then allowed. Of note is W. S. Gilbert, fifth from the right in the front row, as the many unauthorised or "pirate" productions of H.M.S. Pinafore caused him and Arthur Sullivan to première The Pirates of Penzance in America, to at least gain the initial profits there before anyone else could exploit it, and the title and subject of The Pirates of Penzance is sometimes - although somewhat dubiously in my opinion - considered to partially be a reference to the issue of pirate productions of their works. Other authors shown include Mark Twain, Tennyson, Robert Browning, F. C. Burnand, Émile Zola, Jules Verne, Victorien Sardou, Wilkie Collins, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., as well as many others.

"Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum."

In his letter to Theo, from The Hague, 21 July 1882

~Vincent van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890)

"Nel puro ardor della più bella stella
Aurea facella di bel foco accende
E qui discendi su l’aurate piume
Giocondo nume e di celeste fiamme
L’anima mea."
Nel puro ardor (from 'Euridice')

Italian composer Jacopo Peri died #OTD in 1633.

He wrote what is considered the first opera, the mostly lost Dafne (c. 1597), and also the earliest extant opera, Euridice (1600). He is sometimes known by the byname lo Zazzerino (lit. 'the blond one').

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacopo_Peri

Title page of Jacopo Peri's opera L'Euridice, 1600. Set to a libretto by Ottavio Rinuccini, who is also named on the title page, the opera includes some music by Giulio Caccini.

Red Red Rose Triptych Part Three is a hand-painted watercolour painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A rose blossom in bright colours stands out against a warm, abstract background. The petals are a mixture of different shades of red and orange, which merge seamlessly into a pink and orange background. The stem and leaves are also depicted in shades of red. The gentle colour gradients around the rose emphasise the elegance and beauty of the flower.
The flower is still partially closed and is just unfolding its delicate petals and exuding its enchanting fragrance.

Italian photographer and mountaineer Vittorio Sella died #OTD in 1943.

The high quality of Sella's photography was in part due to his use of 30×40 cm photographic plates, in spite of the difficulty of carrying bulky and fragile equipment into remote places. Many of the photographs he took were of mountains which had not been previously recorded and so have historical as well as artistic significance.

Summer Landscape with Poppies is a watercolor painting inspired by my visit to the Island of Rügen in Germany.

Find it here: https://karen-kaspar.pixels.com/featured/summer-landscape-with-poppies-watercolor-karen-kaspar.html

Summer landscape with poppies is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by artist Karen Kaspar.
Beautiful wildflowers like red poppies and blue cornflowers are blossoming in a green meadow leading to the horizon with trees in the distance under a sky with white summer clouds. This watercolour painting is inspired from a visit to Ruegen Island in Germany, Europe, where green meadows with wildflowers want to be captured by the artists.
In a little shop in a village on Ruegen Island I bought handmade watercolor paper for this painting. It has a special rough texture which adds an extra effect to the painting.

I've created & uploaded video previews of a few more #LinearMemory variations & recommend the download versions for best quality (HD720p @ 60fps)... The actual piece is a realtime (browser based), endless and non-repeating animation. The only things left now are further optimizations and making it dynamically adaptive to different screen/print sizes...

Detox Doodles!

This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!
