Galicia is a green rain-swept region remarkable for its coastal cliffs and bays (rias). Traditionally, it was seen as a poor agricultural region whose economy did not lend itself to modernization. It was never conquered by the Moors. Bordering Portugal to the south and enclosed by the waters of the Atlantic, Galicia could offer its inhabitants little on the way of new land for cultivation. Overpopulation and unemployment forced many to emigrate. Galicia has always maintained strong links with the sea, with A Coruna, a port for commerce and industry. However fishing is vital to the economy and Galician seafood is the best in Spain.

Clara Peeters (1594-c1659) was active between 1607 and 1621. Unlike many of the women painters of her time, she specialized on Still-life. She was a pioneer female painter. Early female painters were mostly portrait painters. There is not much known about her life as well. Her paintings of tables of food and other objects ware early manifestations of naturalism. As far as we know, her paintings of fish are the first that were dedicated to this subject.
Lavinia Fontana (1552-1614) lived in Bologna, Italy. She was a contemporary of Sofonisba Anguissola, who was internationally known. Her father was a distinguished printed of the School of Bologna. Her earliest work was printed in 1575, ‘The Child of the Monkey’, At 23. She specialised in painted portraits and mainly on women of nobleman and of high society. She was particularly skilled in painting dresses. Her relationships with female clients were often warm and some became godparents of her children.
Fontana married artist Gian Zappi in 1577. She gave birth to 11 children. After the marriage Fontana continued to paint to support her family. Zappi cared for the household and served as assistant agent in selling his wife’s painting. He also depicted small elements of her pictures such as draperies and another details.
Lavinia was elected an honorary member of the University of Bologna and was honoured as a doctorate in 1580.
In 1603, she and her family moved Rome on the invitation of Pope Clement VIII and appointed as a portraitist in the Vatican. Her career flourished in Rome. She was elected to the San Luca Academy in Rome. She died in 1614 and left behind over 100 of her work.
Anguissola was the first Western female painter that had gained an international fame. At an young age, she was introduced to Michelangelo, who immediately recognized her talent. In the late 1550s, she established herself, as a professional painter, in her native Italy. She was recruited to the Spanish court about 27 year ago. Her marriage was arranged by the Spanish King Philip II, to a Sicilian nobleman. Two years later her husband died and she remarried again to a sea captain Orazio Lomellino. In later year, she became quite famous and many young artists came to visit her and to discuss the arts with her. Amongst them was the young Anthony van Dyck, who painted one of Anguissola last portrait. More importantly she was a pioneer who had shown other women to pursue serious careers as professional painters.
The world’s oceans and seas cover 71% of the surface of the Earth. It makes the Earth unique within the Solar System. It is also where life first began. Today the ocean is regarded as the last major frontier on Earth for exploration and development of resources to sustain mankind in the future. The sea also has an irresistible attraction on us, drawing us nearer to the shores. The sound of the waves lashing on the sandy beaches, the gentle breeze of a hot summer evening, the shimmers of silver lights, the fisherman coming home with their catch, the long voyages of container carriers that link the world economy are all part of our acquaintance with the sea. In its fury, it can unleash power that can destroy cities, sending ships and army to the bottom of the sea. No wonder, apart from our scientists, the seas is often a favourite subject for artists, poets and musicians. The song La Mer was an example, composed and sang by Charles Trenet’s in 1946 offers us a romantics version of our encounter with the sea.
“Caravaggio (1571-1610) is one of the most revolutionary figures in art. His intense naturalism almost brutal realism and dramatic lighting had a wide impact on European artists, including Orazio Gentileschi, Valentin de Boulogne and Gerrit van Honthorst. Each absorbed something different from Caravaggio, propagating his style across Europe. But by the mid-17C, Caravaggism was at odds with a prevailing preference for classicism and the reputation of these artists waned, not be revived until the mid-20C.” Beyond Caravaggio Introduction.
The British Isles are situated at the edge of the European continent. Historically the Roman invaded Britain in 43 AD and ruled for 350 years. This was followed by successive settlements by northern European. The last successful invasion was by the Norman from France in 1066. Today Britain is administratively divided into four main regions – Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England. Culturally, British influence has been very important in the world. Many former colonies have inherited the political culture and the social practices from Britain, in particularly the English speaking countries of the world. Economically, Britain was the first country to begin the process of Industrial Revolution. Britain is rich in energy resource but poor in material resources. As an island country, maritime trading has been and important development in its economy. Geological its landscape is varied with many types of habitats.
In 1794. during the French Revolution, the commissioners appointed in our country seized art works of every kind from churches, monasteries, abbeys guildhalls and the houses of so-called emigres, i.e. the French bourgeois residing in Belgium. Whilst many of these conquetes artistiques were taken away to the Louvre in Paris and in Versailles, some 1500 items, mainly paintings, considered to be less valuable, were left in Brussel. Even if there were no masterpieces among them, they were to form the basis of what is now the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
Van Dyck was among the greatest and the most successful portraitists who has ever lived. He dazzled 17C contemporaries not only in his native Netherlands but also in Italy and above all in England. His influence on subsequent portrait painting in Britain proved so great that it lasted to the beginning of 20C.
P Bruegel’s greatness is so widely acknowledged today that it is hard to imagine that in his life his supremacy was not recognised. He was immensely popular, but many contemporaries regarded his work as old-fasioned.
The greatest Flemish artist of 16th century. This realistic and landscape painter, gives us a gleam of life in the Low Country 400 years ago. His paintings are full of details & messages and so interesting to look at. Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c1525/30-69), nicknamed ‘Peasant Bruegel’, was the most important satirist in the Netherlands after Bosch and one of the greatest landscape painters. After he became Master in the Antwerp Guild in 1551, he went to France and Italy, travelling as far south as Sicily. He was impressed by the landscape of Italy but not so on the Italian paintings. From his painting, he gave us insights to the peasant life and their relationship with nature of 16C in the Low Countries. He was an educated man, well able to associate with his distinguished clients and sophisticated enough disguised his political opinions as a biblical story.

It first opened to the public in 1759, in Montagu House, on the site of the current building. The museum's expansion over the following 250 years was largely a result of British colonisation” Wikipedia.

Human civilization has existed for a very short time on Earth. If we take the existence of Earth as equivalent to one year in time. Then human civilisation only appears on the last second of the last hour of the last day in the Earth’s year. Human has been fighting each other since the beginning of history. In the last century, we had two World Wars, when millions were killed. But I am the luck generation that miraculously never experienced wars, although the drums of wars are never too far away. We have arsenals of weapons that could destroy the world many times over. In my life time, I have also seen many of our children, marrying people of different races too. Our greatest enemy is ourselves. If we can survive this, there is the whole universe to explore. Finally, just remind ourselves that the longest Ice Age on Earth lasted for well over 1 billion years long and our civilisation is only 10,000 years old. 16 Jan 2022.
