Thank you for posting this.
I have a questio...Hi.<br /><br />Thank you for posting this.<br /><br />I have a question regarding this part:<br /><br />According to Mary Clive, this second <a href="https://mirapic.com/famous-male-actor-paintings-wallpaper/" title="Famous Male Actor Paintings Wallpaper" rel="nofollow">painting</a> 'became news in 1922 when Blackpool Town Council considered buying it, and the London press, ever ready to make merry at the expense of the Provinces, evolved the story that it was turned down not because of its size [238 x 147.8 cm] but because the City fathers considered it "wicked and nauseous".'<br /><br />Is it accurate?<br /><br />Thanks.Ovidiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442187015609928459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-71946325440962704242018-03-15T10:26:50.571+00:002018-03-15T10:26:50.571+00:00I adore this post.

And I do like the mother who invited her children to take a good look at the paintings to work out the story. <br /><br />There is a hanging at my mother’s home which I always wondered about and made up stories about as a child. It’s a moonlit night. The setting seems to be India long ago. There are two young men galloping along on horseback, one of them, sharing his saddle with a beautiful young woman, is leaping his horse over a stream, while the other one glances back at a palace. Are the man and woman lovers eloping? Is it a kidnap? Who is the second young man? A friend? A guard? Is it perhaps during the 19th century? It looks older, very Arabian Nights, but one of them carries a long gun... As a child, I was always fascinated by the horses, of course(little girl, horse lover, right?) There’s something wonderful about making up stories about pictures.Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.com
