HENRIQUE VIII E ELIZABETH BLOUNT

Henry VIII, como achou pouco as seis mulheres oficiais que teve, ainda se envolveu em múltiplas aventuras escandalosas. Uma delas foi com Elizabeth Blount, a "Bessie", que deu a Henry o único filho bastardo aceito por ele. Mãe e filho morreram tuberculosos tempos depois. Mas o libertino rei ainda colocou a "Bessie" como dama de companhia da sua quarta esposa, Ana de Cleves, deslizando sempre em seus vieses devassos... O rei proibiu que "Bessie" fosse retratada, ficando apenas em texto as descrições sobre o seu rosto.

HISTORIC PAINTER

I am a classical painter and writer, specialized in historical subjects and in imaginative realism. I make my living painting pictures and writing about critical philosophy of religion. In my blog I show great artists, my texts, my paintings, offer some of the techniques, ideas and methods I have learned over the years, and talk about how to make a living as an artist. I present some essays on painting, art, and hopefully amuse you some at the same time. I will also tell you about many of the fine painters I have known over the years and some who died long ago. I talk about my training in the studio of Ivan Wasth Rodrigues and about the many artists who have mentored me along the way. I also try to explain what I think makes a good painting, and how to go about making one. If you have just found this blog, I suggest you go back to the earliest posts and read forward. It is now an enormous archive of about many posts. The posts start out with the most basic information and progress towards the more philosophical side of painting. I hope you will find it useful.
