This is Diana the Huntress by Italian artist Pompeo Batoni (1708-87). It’s also a portrait of a renowned Italian hostess of the time. It’s a beautiful picture but also an indication of what an Anglo-Irish aristocrat, in 1751, considered as ideal female beauty. I love it for its mood & colours.

El desnudo en el arte: Domenico Corvi
La obra de Domenico Corvi (Viterbo, Italia, 1721-1803) se mueve entre los colores y luces del barroco tardío, al modo de Pompeo Batoni, y un estilo neoclásico temprano como el empleado por Mengs. Este clasicismo se pone de manifiesto en sus dibujos de figuras masculinas, únicos desnudos que he podido encontrar de este artista.

Good Evening, Bluesky Family & Friends
Tonight, I'm sharing another song from Austrian Composer Hugo Wolf's "Italienisches Liederbuch". This is No. 19:
'Wie haben Beide lange Zeit geschwiegen', which means 'We have Both stayed quiet a long Time'.
In this song, a troubled couple finally has peace.
