El árbol de Lawrence
Georgia O’Keeffe, El árbol de Lawrence, 1929, óleo sobre tela. Ateneo Wadsworth, Hartford (EEUU)
Leemos por ahí: "In 1929, O'Keeffe stayed with Mabel Dodge Luhan, who was a patroness who brought modernists to the Taos art colony. While there she visited the ranch and painted the tree. The perspective was captured by lying down on the bench and looking into the night sky through the branches of the tree. Because of the perspective, it could be hung different ways. It is displayed upside down on the website for the Wadsworth Atheneum, who owns the painting."

El origen de la vía Láctea
Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti), El origen de la vía Láctea, óleo sobre tela, 149 x 168 cm. National Gallery, Londres
Leemos por ahí: "The god Jupiter wished to immortalise his infant son Hercules, whose mother was the mortal Alcmene, so he held him to the breast of his sleeping wife, the goddess Juno, to drink her milk. However, Juno woke. The milk which spurted upwards formed the Milky Way, while that which fell downwards gave rise to lilies.
Tintoretto’s painting has been cut down by about a third and what we see now is only the upper part of the original. In the missing lower part, known from a seventeenth-century copy, Ops, the embodiment of Earth and mother of Juno and Jupiter, reclines on a bank beside white flowers. The scene relates to a medal commemorating Tintoretto’s patron, the physician Tommaso Rangone. It is likely that the painting is also connected to Rangone; stars and flowers were both central to his learning."
