A user asked me to display some paintings depicting Salomé and John the Baptist, so enjoy! I’ve always found that these paintings display a striking balance of beautiful femininity with stark atrocity. #history #arthistory #renaissance #biblical | Cay Bluestocking

Having now adopted oil paint as his main medium, Bellini chose to create a mastery in landscape painting, infused with historical and contemplative significance, so much so that Kenneth Clarke would later describe him as one of the greatest landscape painters. | Christian.Art | Facebook
