GOOD DAY EVERYONE!

Tomorrow is my birthday, so to celebrate it here i’ll be posting some of my favorite paintings, probably ten of them, and some photosets.

If everything goes according to plan i’ll post them on the afternoon, if not i’ll post them very late at night. Also, sorry I’ve been less active lately.

A Converted British Family Sheltering a Christian Missionary from the Persecution of the Druids by William Holman Hunt, 1850. The Pre-Raphaelites aimed to take art back to a natural state with an emphasis on religion and virtue. A Converted British Family is the depiction of a medieval family helping a Christian preacher, showing the early deeds of religious good will.
