Peace be with you Mark, my Evangelist. So says the fierce winged lion of Venice, as painted by Carpaccio. Today is his day.

[Dr. Peter Paul Rubens @PP_Rubens]

Is it possible for grace to be excessive? Botticelli really testing that in this Annunciation from 1490. He was born on this day in 1445. (Plus check out little Christ-in-tomb w/ bonus sudarium on lower frame!)

To end, #CrashLandingOnYou is the best korean drama I've watched so far. It has everything. I laughed, cried, loved the characters. The chemistry between all the couples. The cinematography. The soundtrack was a masterpiece.
Thank you for it, it was lifechanging.

The state of Oregon is sending 140 ventilators to NY.

We are so grateful to @OregonGovBrown and the people of Oregon.

On behalf of the people of NY, I thank you and rest assured that NY will repay the favor when Oregon needs it.

The new adaptation of #Emma really grew on me. Loved seeing her change through the film. My favorite character was, surprisingly, Harriet. I’ve never liked her much before.
