Why did artists in the past paint the same thing over and over again?

God is faithful to His promises and guides our steps in the way of #peace. He guides the steps of those who journey on Earth with their gaze turned toward Heaven.

This was her final self-portait, painted in 1610.

From the prodigious talent who had impressed Michelangelo in her early twenties to a travelled and famous artist who had met and painted the great and good of the earth.

And in her later career, as a widely known and respected artist with a healthy fortune, Anguissola turned to religious themes.

After many years of regal portraiture, that wonderful intimacy from her early years returned. Her style had matured too; darker, but no less warm.

Yet her portraits lost none of their liveliness.

From Anguissola's depiction of Elisabeth of Valois, Queen of Spain, we can discover something of the Queen's personality.

Thirty years later, she would paint the Queen's daughter in the same pose.

every time you choose to spend time in the room of “what could have been” you prevent that wound from healing. you re-open it. look for the hallway that leads to the door of “what is”. acceptance is surrendering to what we no longer have control over. its how we begin to move on.

@culturaltutor The moon is a curving flower of gold,
The sky is still and blue;
The moon was made for the sky to hold,
And I for you.

The moon is a flower without a stem,
The sky is luminous;
Eternity was made for them,
To-night for us.
