And of course the works of El Greco:

"The Annunciation" by Doménikos Theotokópoulos called El Greco. Mary wearing a silvery red robe and a blue cloak stands opposite an angel wearing a yellow wrap skirt. Above them the heavens open, and a white dove descends

The Opening of the Fifth Seal, by El Greco.
St. John, arms raised, clad in silvery blue in front of a group of unclothed humans. There are green and yellow cloaks being draped over them. Again a very dramatic sky.

The painting "View of Toledo" by El Greco. The city of Toledo in Castille, Spain is depicted in a silvery-blue colour against the green hills and the magnificent sky in hues of blue, white and grey

CW: Gore, artistically depicted. On a more positive note, there are works of the renaissance that I do really like. Especially the ones that feel a bit expressionist. Works from the Danube School, or of Lucas Cranach for example

The painting "Judith and Holofernes" by Lucas Cranach the Elder, or his workshop. Judith wears a lovely dark red dress, golden jewelry, a pearl encrusted hair net, keeping her strawberry blonde hair together, she wears a wide brimmed red hat with white feathers. In her gloved right hand she bears a sword. With her left she holds the severed head of Holofernes. He is bearded and his eyes are half open.

The painting "The martyrdom of Saint Barbara" by Lucas Cranach the Elder. A group of men in late medieval armor stands behind Barbara. She kneels, wearing a red dress. A man in a gorgeous puff-sleeved shirt, reminiscent of a Landsknecht, holds her hair in one hand and raises a saber, that looks like a pirate's cutlass from a children's cartoon, in the other to lop off her head.

The painting "A Crucifixion " by Albrecht Altdorfer, depicting the crucified Jesus of Nazareth, wearing only a loincloth, bleeding, with a pained face and messy hair underneath the thorny crown. A veiled Mary is to the right of him. The veil obscuring her eyes makes it hard to read her expression but it seems somewhere between pained and baffled. Two people pray at the base of the cross which features a Star of David. A person in red is turned away from the viewer

The painting "Resurrection" by Albrecht Altdorfer. Jesus in a white shroud is bearing a flag of a red cross on white, and makes a blessing gesture with his hand. The sky is painted in dramatic colours, from fire red to dark blue. The sun forms a halo behind Jesus' head

What do we think of my new water bottle ? It looks like a bottle of curry ketchup, and they are sold by the same company that produces the ketchup. Also I saw a pheasant today

Me with the water bottle close to my mouth, I wear a tank top and shorts, banana print socks and my running shoes

Same as picture one just a slightly different pose

Me scratching my head and sitting cross legged on my yoga mat, the water bottle in front of me

Not that anyone asked but: I don't really care for the (Italian) Renaissance. Like neither in terms of architecture, paintings or the concept as whole. Maybe it's because it's so highly talked about and then just underdelivers, or maybe because it feels in sentiment so close to the victorian era

It's true what Robert Burns did say "Man was made to mourn". I'm close to losing it even more than usual folks

Took a short break from studying for my exams and went to see some of my favourite animals. Also got a very nice view of my home town

A view towards the city of Frankfurt. Forested hills and the castle of Königstein in the foreground, and the skyscrapers of Frankfurt in the background. A blue sky and white clouds make up the top half of the picture

Big news on the autism front. There's an app where you can log the number plates you've seen. German number plates have one to three letters at the beginning indicating the county the vehicle is registered in. There are more than 800 area codes, and I've already seen 219 since Monday

A screenshot from the app, showing that I've seen 219 of 828 possible numberplates

It's heartbreaking that Henry VIII got to "king" Stephen's resting place, 500 years before I had the chance to Five years of studying history in uni has left me with a laundry list of grudges against men who in large parts have been dead for centuries

CW: ED This is also wrecking years of progress with my disordered eating, because I a) don't eat at all when I have the flu or anything like that, and b) I can't work out when I'm sick, so this reintroduces the idea that I can just not eat when I have any food related guilt instead of
