"Flaming June, the glorious canvas painted by Frederic
Leighton (1830-1896) in around 1895, and five fabulous
pictures by Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) are the highlights
of an extraordinary exhibition at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag
from 4 July to 20 September 2009. These masterpieces of
Victorian art come from the collection of the Museo de Arte de

He was born in Cavtat, Croatia, lived in America, Paris,
Zagreb and Prague, and spent extended periods in England and
Vienna. Wherever talented painter Vlaho Bukovac (1855-1922)
settled, he soon enjoyed fame and recognition. He staged
successful exhibitions at several Paris Salons, the first
Vienna Secession exhibition, the second and fourth Venice
Biennale and the Paris World Exposition in 1900. This winter,
Gemeentemuseum Den Haag is to stage a major retrospective of
the glittering career of this versatile painter, whose work
has never before been shown in the Netherlands.

The biggest news is this site of course.
My old site was so beautiful and leaving it was a very
difficult decision to make. (you can see it in Archives).
But I realized that I had more than ten different
portfolios more updated than my own site. It makes no sense,
the change was to be done!
My plans for this site are very ambitious but I believe I
can do it. The great feeling for me is that I can do anything
on my own, whenever I like.
I am grateful to my husband who helped me make this
possible.

It is completely amazing!
Paintings are huge, the right one Circe
Invidiosa is 180x87 and the colors are so intense.
The painting of Circe is a very good example
of painting you need to see in real.
Originally is a color of water so violent
blue-green that I almost screamed when I saw it. And her dress
has that same violent blue-green color and that makes a
completely different impression. On this photo one can see
Circe pouring the poison in the water (Ovid's Metamorphoses),
but it can be also something else. Her face is not so
definite, but what I saw there was evil. I saw only evil and
little bit of brownish trees in the background.
If I can have this painting in my home I would
feel safe...it looks like all the evil is closed on this
canvas.
something I am waiting for...
