Gerard David - The Virgin and Child with Saints and Donor [微风]

The Virgin and Child are enthroned in a walled garden, a probable metaphor for her virginity. On the right Saint Barbara reads a book. Mary Magdalene, seated next to her holding on ointment jar, appears to be turning the pages. To the left Saint Catherine receives a ring from the infant Christ (she refused to marry an emperor on the grounds that she was already married to Christ). The everyday world represented beyond the wall was perhaps painted from contemporary Bruges.

David's picture was almost certainly commissioned by the kneeling figure on the left, Richard de Visch van der Capelle, a cantor (senior cleric) of Saint Donatian, Bruges. His identity is recorded in the coat of arms on the greyhound's collar. In 1500 he sought to restore the chapel of Saint Anthony Abbot, who appears in the background behind Saint Barbara. This painting was almost certainly intended for the altar of Saint Catherine there.

Only through illness can we know what is more important than living well ！

Life is a one-way journey.

No matter what kind of wind and rain we experienced on the way.

What scenery have we visited?

How much love, hate and hatred have we had?

Passed, missed,

There is no turning back.

Please be sure to cherish this journey !

We wish the front-line doctors to return safely as soon as possible！

We wish the epidemic situation to end as soon as possible！

We wish all people to be safe and healthy！

Saluton mateno


Sen mono vi povus pene gajni, neniam koleris turniĝe al aliaj pro via embaraso, vi povus plendi nur unusole al vi mem kiu ne sufiĉe penas.
没钱努力赚，永远别把窘境迁怒于别人，你唯一可以埋怨的只有不够努力的自己。
