AURORA

Photo taken by myself from my garden.


Painting by Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (1591-1666), best known as Guercino, was an Italian Baroque painter. Pintura de autoria de Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (1591-1666), mais conhecido como Guercino, pintor da escola barroca italiana.

Aurora is the Latin word for dawn, the goddess of dawn in Roman Mythology and Latin Poetry. Aurora is comparable to the Greek goddess Eos. Aurora renews herself every morning and flies across the sky, announcing the arrival of the sun. Aurora é a palavra latina para amanhecer, a deusa do alvorecer da Mitologia Romana e da Poesia Latina. A deusa Aurora é equivalente à deusa grega Eos. Aurora renovava-se todas as manhãs ao amanhecer e voava pelos céus anunciando a chegada do sol.

  4. Ok, the garden view is too beautiful to be believed. So we'll leave it for now before serious envy creeps in.

    About the painting. Before there was motion or perhaps it's call stop and start photography, artists believed horses galloped this way -- with the two legs reaching out front and two hooves stretched behind. Sort of a swinging motion. Rabbit-like.

    Only after the horse's motion was slowed and captured by photography did they realize the legs had a one-two-three-four action, with each one acting independently, and there is always one hoof on the ground.
