Another version of Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" painting. Researcher's at Spain's Prado "... have discovered compelling evidence suggesting that what was long considered just another copy of the most famous painting in the world wasn’t made after Leonardo had completed the original, but concurrently with the original, probably by one of his students." https://www.openculture.com/2025/12/see-what-the-original-mona-lisa-likely-looked-like.html #art #artist #art_history #errtling #bookcafe #according_to_hoyle #painting #writer #writing #pleasant_things #art_of_review #culture

A Cat

(Louis Coulon with his kitten in 1890 - Unknown (?) photographer)

#cats #cat #cat_and_art #CatsOfBlueSky #photography #b&w #kitten #french #portraits #catsky #mono #art_history
A bearded man wearing a dark hat gazes forward. His long, flowing beard forms a cradle around a small cat sitting comfortably within it. The image is black and white, and the man holds his hands near the cat. Back in 1904, Louis Coulon made headlines with his extraordinary 11-foot-long beard (3.35 meters), which he even used as a cozy resting spot for his beloved cats! This incredible facial hair not only captured hearts but also secured his place in history, as he held the record for the longest beard ever worn in France. A small black kitten with bright eyes peeks out from the center of a circular swirl of what appears to be gray hair or fibers, creating a striking visual contrast between the dark fur and the lighter background.
