  1. Glad you didn’t choose Osias’ ‘Still life of a roast chicken, a ham and olives on pewter plates with a bread roll, an orange, wineglasses and a rose on a wooden table’ for Today’s eye candy.
    Thank you.

  2. Hi. I’m from Japan.I once left a comment 3 or 4 years ago, maybe you forgot. I always enjoy your posts. Btw, you know Ohrai Noriyoshi—an illustrator who painted Star Wars poster about 40 years ago? He mainly worked during ’70s and ’80s.Now he got old and retied. Even in Japan, he is now almost forgotten. I have a friend who is a designer and respects Ohrai very much. He organized a retrospective exhibition?of Ohrai. If you have interest, check this site.

    1. Thanks for the suggestion.

  3. Amazing. In the National Gallery, I’d have walked past without realizing how this rewards close inspection. Thank you.
