Working with gods means experiencing new found love and association for their attributes. Having before not really paying too much attention to cheetahs/tigers, ever since working with Dionysus I can't help but feel a fondness whenever I notice imagery or visit the zoo. I just think that's really lovely 🌿

Portrait of the Emperor Joseph II

Artist: Gertrude Cornélie Marie de Pélichy (Dutch, 1743–1825)

Date: c. 1784

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Musea Brugge / Groeningemuseum, Bruges, Belgium

Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor

Joseph II (1741–1790) was Holy Roman Emperor from 1765 to 1790. As a quintessential "enlightened despot," he sought to modernize the Habsburg Empire. His sweeping reforms aimed to centralize the state, abolish serfdom, promote religious tolerance, and limit the power of the Catholic Church, though many were reversed due to fierce resistance.

Born in Vienna, Joseph was the eldest son of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Francis I. Influenced by the Age of Enlightenment, he admired philosophers like Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as the military success of his rival, Frederick the Great.

During his mother’s lifetime, Joseph served as co-ruler (1765–1780) but was largely restricted to military and treasury roles. Maria Theresa was highly conservative and disagreed with his revolutionary, secular ideas Upon his mother's death in 1780, Joseph became sole ruler of the Austrian Habsburg dominions and immediately began implementing his radical restructuring programs.

Joseph II was an idealistic reformer, but he tried to do too much, too quickly. His top-down mandates alienated the nobility, the church, and even the peasants they were designed to help, while his expensive and reckless foreign policies badly isolated the empire.

By the end of his life, widespread unrest forced him to revoke most of his sweeping changes. Though a tragic and exhausted figure on his deathbed, his foundational ideas of religious equality, state secularism, and universal rights left a lasting legacy on the Austrian Empire and modern European history.

Messina Returned to Spain

Artist: Luca Giordano (Italian, 1634-1705)

Date: 1678

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Spain

Description

This allegorical scene symbolizes Spain in the figure of a woman who is being crowned and enthroned over the four cardinal virtues (Prudence, Justice, Fortitude and Temperance), the pillars of the country´s good government. they are accompanied by their attributes and by multiple cupids. On the left of the composition, Fortune, also personified by a female figure, keeps a warrior representing France from coming onboard. This painting is the only surviving member of a set of four large canvases Giordano made for Carlos II to commemorate the Monarch´s victory over the French army at Messina. These works led Palomino to qualify the Italian artist as “the father of History with a brush.”
