Jane Goodall was one of the most special humans to ever live. The world would not be the same without her contributions and her caring and passionate heart that informed her work. May she rest in peace.

Some of my favorite art came from the mind and soul of David Lynch. So many dreams good, bad, and wondrous. Wild at Heart, Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, Twin Peaks. I am definitely going to have to put some Julie Cruise on tonight and dream. Thank you, David Lynch.

R.I.P David Lynch. A self made man who created an iconic style and broke into the mainstream with the unlikeliest material.🖤

Adriano is amazing between street art and street dancing. It is 1977, he is the hero of "Ecco noi per esempio" and even at the end of this quote a poster promotes the "National Press Festival and the voices of the opposition"!

In a world defined by constant movement, noise, and an insatiable drive for more, it's easy to feel swept away, as if we're passengers on a journey whose destination we don’t control-or even understand.

In Jan Matejko’s painting
Nicolaus Copernicus looks up into the night sky with inspiration, as if about to experience a biblical epiphany. One can suppose that this painterly interpretation speaks to the artists’ own religious sentiments.

It contrasted with them as more economical in expression and quite unique in comparison to the artist's previous work. Tygodnik Wielkopolski reported that Matejko's Copernicus is a psychological study, not a historical picture, not a portrait, but a study reflecting the soul of the genius astranomer
After the presentation in Krakow, Astronomer Copernicus was sent to Vienna for the universal exhibition in 1873. It was displayed next to larger, more elaborate compositions by Matejko: Unia Lubelska, Stefan Batory pod Pskowem/ Stephen Bathory at Pskov and The Sermon of Piotr Skarga/ Kazanie Skargi.
Action and movement – here he introduces a monologue for the first time, so to speak, only one figure in black clothes is shown against the night sky; no colour effects; but it is not a sage's monologue, it is his dialogue, it is a conversation with God.

P.Lwowski, reporting on the anniversary celebrations in Krakow,noted:
Matejko's Copernicus is a completely different creation from the previous ones by the great artist. He used to only dramatically depict specific historical events and use the effects of colour, a multitude of types and characters

Although he painted more intimate scenes in the past – Zygmunt August and Barbara Radziwiłłowna in love, Jan Kochanowski mourning Urszulka, or Stanczyk in deep reflection – Matejko was primarily known for his monumental multi-figure paintings.

It was especially important because Copernicus studied at this university (Krakow Academy). The transaction was carried out by Piotr Moszynski, a collector and admirer of Matejko's work.
Matejko's work aroused great interest. Critics pointed out the composition as being quite unusual for the artist.

A reproduction of Astronomer Copernicus – in the form of woodcut prints based on the artist's drawing – was also distributed to students in Krakow. Soon the work was purchased from public contribution funds and donated to the Jagiellonian University, where the Museum is located to this day.

The artist finished the painting at the beginning of the jubilee year 1873. The work’s display, however, was not included in the official program of the celebrations planned in Krakow. Matejko organised the exhibition on his own, and sent the proceeds from the tickets to a charity.

Matejko started making the first sketches for the composition between 1871 and 1872. He began working on the final painting in the summer of 1872, before traveling to Istanbul with his wife. At that time, he was using a small atelier in his apartment at Krupnicza Street in Krakow.

Also, the brightness coming from behind the frame was interpreted diversely, being perceived as moonlight (which would make astronomical observations impossible) or dawn approaching. The title Conversations with God also suggests metaphysical light, symbolising the presence of the Creator.

Although it is night – and the only visible source of light, apart from the stars, is a metal lantern – the figure of Copernicus is clearly lit. Some critics accused Matejko of being unrealistic and inconsistent (for example, a triquetrum should cast a shadow on the astronomer's face).
