Τα αρχίδια του δεν τα έδειξε ο μητροπολίτης Πτολεμαΐδας που συνελήφθη. Τα έδειξε ο μητροπολίτης Κυθήρων που αρνήθηκε την αύξηση μισθού, δωρίζοντας το αντίστοιχο ποσό υπέρ της στέγασης γιατρών και εκπαιδευτικών του νησιού.

At the end of that same year, the painter who created this work wrote a despairing letter: 'I painted three pictures this year, and sold one at a rather low price.' This was one of the paintings sold for a low price. Józef Pankiewicz, Old Town Market Square in Warsaw at Night, 1892.
The person who bought the painting wasn't an ordinary buyer. Count Edward Aleksander Raczyński, one of Poland's most prominent private art collectors, took the piece to Rogalin Palace near Poznań (in western Poland) and hung it in his private gallery.
The painting features a corner of Warsaw's Old Town Market Square. Back in 1892, the entire square was lit by gas lamps; the yellow points of light Pankiewicz captured are the era's streetlamps and the faint glimmers seeping from background windows. Through the darkness, the silhouette of a waiting horse-drawn carriage stands out on the left, along with a solitary figure standing at the building's corner on the right. After a light drizzle, the wet cobblestones reflect the light like a river.
Pankiewicz had returned to Warsaw from Paris in 1890. Initially, he brought along the impressionist palette he'd adopted under Claude Monet's influence. However, art historians consider this piece one of his most crucial works - marking his departure from impressionism's luminous colors toward a 'nocturne' (night painting) style grounded in dark, monochromatic tones.
The painting faced its greatest test in 1939. Shortly before World War II broke out, Roger Raczyński placed the entire Rogalin gallery collection on deposit at the National Museum in Warsaw. The palace was seized by the Nazis, converted into a Hitlerjugend school, and its furniture was looted. But the paintings were in Warsaw.
After the war, roughly 250 of the original 300+ works from the Rogalin collection had survived. Pankiewicz's Old Town Market Square at Night is one of them. Today, it still hangs on the very same walls in Rogalin - now a branch of the National Museum in Poznań - just as it has since 1892.
Years later, Pankiewicz became the founding professor of the Komitet Paryski (Paris Committee), raising a generation that shaped modern Polish painting. Yet, one of his defining turning points was this small painting he'd sold so cheaply. 39 × 49 cm.
Πάλι θα συγκρουστεί με το βαθύ κράτος ο Μητσοτάκης; Πάρε μια ανάσα βρε αδερφέ, 7 χρόνια πολεμάς, κάτσε μια στάλα να ξαποστάσεις, να φας μια μπουκιά γλυκό ψωμί.

We are mothers, not ‘birthing people’.
We are breast feeders, not ‘chest feeders’.
Language matters. Stop giving into woke delusions.
On my first mission I completely fell in love with space photography - tough not to when you’re graced with this kind of unique perspective of viewing all that Earth has to behold from above. I’ve been so happy to bust out the array of impressive lenses that we have up here once again, and this time with even better cameras (Nikon Z9, vs the D5 from my previous mission).
I was lucky enough to capture some pretty good aurora (northern lights, here over Alaska and Canada) on my first timelapse attempt of the mission, stay tuned for more!
Hoping for some impressive solar events to put on a fascinating show like the ones a few months ago.
