Progue Influences - Madonna and Child

The Progue were greatly inspired by this painting of Madonna and Child by Jean Fouquet.
Inspiration derived from this painting:

  • Importance of femininity.
  • Milky white skin reminded me of albinism. 
  • The high hairline created a large forehead and got me thinking about the race having a dignified look by increasing the forehead size.
  • The use of a throne,
  • The opaque vivid quality of the tempera reminded me of illuminated manuscripts.

  1. I wonder if the Fouquet was considering similar things as yourself while composing his work. The form of the woman can't be taken literally - it seems very stylized with the super narrow waist, juvenile anatomy, and almost complete lack of hairline. With the visible elements of femininity isolated and exposed, the artist could have been creating a new creature, just as you are.

  2. A roulette wheel covers numbers 1-36, together with “0” & “00” respectively for a complete of 38 totally 카지노 different potential outcomes on each flip. Keep your profits separated that you just can|so as to|to find a way to} solely win or draw even. As with any recreation, never wager an amount that you can’t afford to lose. Many folks consider that roulette relies on an historical Chinese board recreation that concerned arranging 37 animal collectible figurines right into a magic sq. with numbers that whole 666. The recreation was discovered by Dominican monks who have been deeply concerned with all features of Chinese life and was later dropped at Europe by them, with slight modifications. However, proof reveals that many historical civilizations played video games quite much like roulette.
