The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

Interesting that there are no comments here yet. I have gone back to this portrait daily since you posted it. For some reason, I find it lovely. I don't really know why, but I like it very much.
here's the wikipedia article about this famous painting by raphael. it's in the vatican.
Lacking a penchant for detail, I would never have noticed the lone pensive one you've singled out had I originally seen the full piece of art. Thanks for pointing him out.
according to the wikipedia article, michelangelo posed for this figure (of heraclitus) in the painting. i guess raphael was well-connected.
well, they both painted parts of the Vatican...
Well, thanks for jumping in on our art history discussion. :) I'm feeling intelligent for a brief moment in time.
