La Bibbia impone a chi la legge di vedere le cose come stanno, nel modo più asciutto, senza orpelli e anche senza ornamenti, aderendo o opponendosi a ciò che il libro dice, ma sempre attenendosi all'essenziale.

Born on this day in 1725: Jean-Baptiste Greuze, who turned broken pitchers and village betrothals into high drama and made eighteenth-century Paris weep in the Salon. Fashion left him behind. What endures is the looking - every fold of muslin exactly seen. #Greuze #Rococo
