Gem #20. Sorry Gem I don’t understand what you mean.
Sky. So is this a real person? I thought it was something the artist made up.

She was apparently known by the Duke of Alcala who commissioned the painting.
"In 1631, the Duke of Alcala commissioned a painting depicting a bearded lady, whose name was allegedly Magdalena Ventura. The painting was executed by the artist Jose de Ribera. Little is known about Magdalena: when the painting was commissioned, the sons of the depicted woman were already adults, and she was 52 years old. In addition, it is known that the hair on her face began to grow at the age of 37."

Thanks Sky. That was real interesting. I wonder what caused that transformation. She must have been gutted.

Leonardo da Vinci ~ An allegory with a dog and an eagle
I remember going to see it with a friend. All I could think is why not everyone was around looking at it. So I enjoyed it by myself for a while. It reminded me of an old Leonardo book passed down through the family ~ and first seeing the allegory it and all the thoughts and emotions.

Hi StrandedSnowMonkey, It’s wonderful that you had the chance to enjoy it in such a personal way. I, too, am an admirer of Leonardo da Vinci's work.

Hiya. It's definitely worth a trip to see it. I got the exhibition book somewhere ~ will dig it out tomorrow. Yes! I have a plain silver wedding ring on a chain around my neck to remind me of my relatives too.
