Looking at the Sky from the Sea

Face-to-Face

Have you ever opened your eyes when you dive underwater? Can you imagine what you will see when you look up at the sky from under the water? Inspired by the Biennial’s efforts to “learn something from the flight of birds, the once-plentiful seas, the chemistry that gradually replenishes and nurtures the earth,” we are imagining in our workshop that we have put on our goggles and dived into the clean waters and then, by using different colors and figures of sea creatures, we transfer the picture that has come alive in our imagination onto a piece of drawing paper. We chat about the ways to reduce pollution in the seas and oceans, stimulating our creativity, and expanding our imagination.

Baby King

Baby King

1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.

Girl in a Blue Dress

This life-size portrait of a girl is a fine example of the British art of portrait painting in the early 18th century. The child is shown posing on a terrace, which is enclosed at the right foreground by the plinth of a pillar; the background is mainly filled with trees and shrubs.

Cameria (Mihrimah Sultan)

Based on similar examples by the European painters in various collections, this work is one of the portraits of Mihrimah Sultan, who was depicted rather often in the 16th century.
