In Florence the ghost of Rembrandt haunts the pavement and people tread on him which is very sad.
The old skull theme is very suitable for a tomb in the floor of S. Croce........
....and in the window of a biscotteria....with all that ectoplasm stuff floating about.....
...just as it does in a painted over portrait on 22nd Street in New York.
Ah! The autumnal peace of a little Halloween lie down behind the leather school with all that Virginia creeper as warm bedding.
Happy Halloween!
I could do with a little HALLOWEEN lie-down . . . and it's just getting started! C is blowing up balloons even as I type. (I stayed up too late last night, and who knows about tonight when there will be lots of teenage revellers?)
ReplyDeleteWonderful ghostly and skeletal pictures. I find the young Rembrandt rather poignant. What is he made from? He has such a luminous eye.
What an amazing blog with lots of inspiration and motivation
