Jonathan EmmesediGiambattista Tiepolo An Allegory with Venus and Time 1754-58 Oil on canvas, 292 x 190 cm National Gallery, LondonOne of my favourite pictures from London's National Gallery. I confess I often hold this picture in my mind's eye as a form of escapism -- an escape from strip malls, bloated SUVs, megachurches with fundamentalist PowerPoints punctuated by bad rock and extempore prayer, cargo pants, presidential make up, the Hobby Lobby...<a href="https://c.im/tags/Tiepolo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tiepolo</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GiambattistaTiepolo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GiambattistaTiepolo</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NtationalGallery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NtationalGallery</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/VenetianArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VenetianArt</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Painting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Painting</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LateBaroque" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LateBaroque</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Rococo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rococo</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Art</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Allegory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Allegory</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Venus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Venus</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Escapism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Escapism</a>

Jonathan EmmesediGiambattista Tiepolo Neptune Offering Gifts to Venice 1740s Oil on canvas, 135 x 275 cm Palazzo Ducale, VeniceThis image has remained in my mind's eye for years. I was going to write that it was the visual equivalent of an earworm, but that wouldn't be quite right, as that term suggests something annoying of which one would be glad to be rid.<a href="https://c.im/tags/Tiepolo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tiepolo</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Venice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Venice</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Painting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Painting</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LateBaroque" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LateBaroque</a> Art

Roman ALANThe Brain DJ was humming something in the dead of the night, but I can't remember what it was. So here's something else – Padre Antonio Soler (1729-1783), "Fandango in D Minor, R. 146" (undated)Performed by Scott Ross in Paris, 1988.From the liner notes: "… the 450 bars of this piece are built on an ostinato in A major and D minor". (ostinato = a musical phrase repeated over and over, like in "Bolero")<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojMz51tYAdk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojMz51tYAdk</a><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Music</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/LateBaroque" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LateBaroque</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/PadreAntonioSoler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PadreAntonioSoler</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Harpsichord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Harpsichord</a>

Roman ALANOf particular interest to me is music of the late Baroque, when composers started to think more in terms of "galant": simple, more melodic, but still retaining some of the polyphony of the complex late Baroque compositions.By chance, I discovered and enjoyed this piece two nights ago – Johann Adolph Hasse (c. 1699~1783), Sinfonia Op.5 No.6 in G minor, performed by Camerata Barok Istanbul in 2019<a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/SymphonicMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SymphonicMonday</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/LateBaroque" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LateBaroque</a> JAHasse <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/JohannAdolphHasse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JohannAdolphHasse</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBzSnZ9YBgA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBzSnZ9YBgA</a>

Roman ALANLast night was spent exploring late Baroque music, and both the Brain DJ and I thoroughly enjoyed this piece –Niccolò Jommelli (1714~1774), "Periodical Overture E-flat major": Allegro di molto – Chaconne, op. 3/2Performed by Concerto Köln, Pablo Heras-Casado conducting, 2013 (released 2014)<a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Music</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/ClassicalMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClassicalMusic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/LateBaroque" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LateBaroque</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NiccoloJommelli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NiccoloJommelli</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Jommelli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jommelli</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngXtQP0O7zU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngXtQP0O7zU</a>
