Rabble Rousing Fool

Rembrandt's "Danae" painted in 1636

Don't let the sihouette look of this nude fool you, for we all know Rembrandt could paint better than that.

REMBRANDT'S (The Danae) OIL ON CANVAS DOCUMENTED DATE OF PAINTING 1636.

 Size 126cm x 151cm

Well, just maybe the way that he painted her was for his eyes only along with a few others who might have known or had eyes simular to his own who could see what he was trying to do.

 This painting was attributed to an unknown Dutch artist by a Los Angles Museum and was traced back coming across the oregon trail, and it was considered to be antique in the early 1800's with some provenance that has been lost over the years. The painting I believe had hung in Rembrandt's art studio for over 20 years after he evidentially had given it away to his Lordship, the most gracious, Mr. Constantijn Huygens. This was a gift for him for obtaining Rembrandt a commission from the stadtholder himself of the United Provinces. Rembrandt received this commission in 1634 for the three theme paintings on the passion of Christ, and it took over four years in finishing them for delivery.

 Mean while, Frederick Henry would not let Huygens have a moments peace, the Amsterdam Burgomaster, not until he received these three commissions. Needless to say, Huygens had Rembrandts gift returned immediately even before he unpacked it from the wood crate that it was delivered in. He told him that he didn't need any favors from him, and he damn sure wasn't doing him any more!

 I do believe that Rembrandt took this returning of the work of art to heart, while not understanding completely the meaning of the returned gift. He would show it to his students and pupils, so that they would not make the same mistake that he did, and by this, I mean the silhouette look of young Danae. This is the young nude body of the daughter of the Greek King standing behind her, her father, the King of Argos from Greek Mythology. I over heard a comment from a viewer talking to her friend saying that she could not lye that way, even when she was younger, and I had to laugh to myself under my breath. I wanted to say, you had better be careful not to squint your eyes while looking at her, for you could more than likely find her lying in the dangerous ways that possibly you have many times before in your life.

 The danae is documented as being sold at Rembrandt's bankruptcy auction in 1658, as item # 347, one large painting of "The Danae".  It is now attributed by myself, Bob Miller to this great artist Rembrandt, one who seems today of loosing about 90% of his original works of art confirmed by these supposed art experts and historians of the Rembrandt Research Project, mostly paintings which have been concidered to have been his and done by his own hand for years and sometimes centuries. 

Rembrandt: The Danae

 One look at the Danae welcoming the golden shower, or whatever Rembrandt meant to call this glowing nude of a young girl lying on the gilded couch that she is lying on and definitely talked about in those way by one who were noted as seeing it. This alone should prove that the recovery of the Danae is now complete. It is a work of utter innocence, the theatricality of impregnation by Zeus as she is being visited by her father, King Acrisius as she is locked in her chambers.

 Splendid as it is with its shimmering white and its flickering of gold vemillion, it remained in the world and of the world. All that was in the painting lay within the grasp of man - joy, its remembrance of joy, and the promise of its renewal; and these needed no exaggeration. The lips parted and the breasts swelled and the warm belly held the honey colored shadows in its tender hollows. The thighs lay softly against each other, and the moist, luxuriant triangle widened beneath the see-through silk and above her Zeus',.... for love itself wasn't enough as said,... more than enough, for Zeus is actually there.

The four apprentices who were working in the young master's studio in those days had taught themselves to talk about the painting in the safe terminology of the painter's trade not to offend or reveal the secret which Rembrandt included in the sihouettetion of the body. One of them would invite you to walk up to it under the pretext of seeing how delicately the halftones carried the brilliant light into the deepest shade. Another would ask you whether you had noticed the marvelous difference between the inanimate softness of the silken materials and the pillows, and the living resilience of the flesh, while a third would join in with feverish enthusiasm about how the hair drew in the vibrant reds, the deep rich browns, and the flickering and gleaming gold. The fourth would tell how the canvas spoke directly to the viewer, unashamedly, and with gratefulness of the inexhaustible delights of Love.

So again I say, while the fourth apprentice almost blowing it and coming so damn close in giving the secret completely away,.... this painting should now be proof that the recover of "The Danae" of Rembrandt's is now definitely complete.

This above is a small example of the yellow gold shower of vermilion's Rembrandt used as a representaion of Zeus attack of impregnation of the Danae.  For goodness sakes don't forget to look at the craqulars in the paint and the warring out and deterioration of the canvas behind it.

Outside his lost, removed, or exchanged signatures, Rembrandt had his own protective way to deterime who the correct artist was on down the road. He was very much aware of what went on in the field of fine art and understood completely how peoples eyes worked.

A drawing study of "The Danae", to where the King's Orical, or should I say fortune teller looks to be appologizing to him for telling the King he would be killed by a grandson. No less,.. this was said right in front of the only means of a grandson,... the princess Danae, and she looks to be weeping.  On her right is her father with his ceptor in hand and a pretty good representation of him sitting on his throne in the right-hand bottom corner.  In the left-hand upper corner is where these vermillions are swooping in as the shower of gold and going straight to the representation of the attact presented in the tablecloth at the middle bottom.

Rembrandt Drawing

Definition: Drawing study for the Mythological tale of  "The Danae".

After Persius cut the head off of the Medusa, Danae and her son was granted passage back to Argos. Danae goes and finds her father in the bottom right of the drawing and brings him reluctantly to the games, where her son Persius entered the tri-Tryathlon games and is throwing the discus.  When his turn came the heavy missile swerved and fell amongst the spectators where his grandfather was sitting and he was struck by the discus. The blow he received was fatal, and he was killed immediately. Middle top; A study of Danae, when she was locked up.  Top left:  A study of her father at the time he was King. Bottom left: Danae standing by watching the angel take her father away in the middle because he did not kill his grandson and her to protect himself.  So Apollo's oracle was once again proven right.

 

Experiences Regarding What?

Reincarnation, truth or myth? What do I think?

I think is real, it's true,.. it's not a fake like so many other thing in this MFA world of ours. Now, you take MFA artist's,... not many of them would be able to tell you this. Why? Because they do not know this for sure, they haven't any proof, or it would have been known for centuries now,... or just maybe it is known. Quite possibly in these secret societies that subsequently we are told do not exist.

Yes, I very well could have been A couple of pea-brained artists that I have come to know quite well.  I have two artist friends that sometimes have a tendency to believe me when I tell them this, but have a real hard time believing when I tell them who painted some of my collection. I don't think Vincent really knew or maybe whether or not he really cared, but he always said he knew Rembrandt quite well in all of his letters to his Brother Theo.

Let's take the book RvR 1642 and read it, read certain parts again, over and over. It will reveal secrets of the past that will astound you. Even though this book was written from a lost family diary discovered in an old sea going chest, it has always been considered a book of myths by the historian and MFA experts.

This book was written by an author with the same family name of van Loon as the diary's author. He had no idea what was really being revealed, other than his great-great grand father, ten time removed did happen to get rather involved with a Dutch artist called Rembrandt. It is rather ironic what had started this acquaintance between the good doctor and Rembrandt the artist. This little incident is partially what I myself use as my own proof that reincarnation does in fact really exist.

The truth is that the good Dr. got so rapped up in this artist Rembrandt, that the Dutch communities through out our history had and has continued to mock and to hate this Dutch artist even calling this book of Van Loons a book of myths. What these supposed experts have really done, while not really understanding or seeing what this artist had done and was capable of doing, managed over the centuries of ripping apart Rembrandt's complete oeuvre. It continues today with new experts and older ones dying off while coming to more of the same conclutions of reducing his oeuvre more so now than ever before. They the so-called MFA experts will have him down in history as just being a print maker pretty soon while having no real idea what this particular artist had been able to achieved in creating art.

Van Gogh book has tongues wagging

Vincent van Gogh

The Hague - Did Vincent van Gogh, one of the world's greatest artists despite having sold just one painting in his short and tortured lifetime, commit suicide in 1890 in a wheat field in northern France?

Two American authors are now challenging the theory that the enigmatic post-Impressionist killed himself aged 37, saying he claimed to have attempted suicide to protect two teenaged brothers - one of whom shot him.

Van Gogh, who suffered prolonged bouts of mental illness and depression - he sliced off an ear once - was not contemplating taking his life, Gregory White Smith and Steven Naifeh argue in their new book Van Gogh: The Life.

“The version retained is not credible,” Smith said in an interview published in the Dutch newspaper NRC Next.

The duo, who won a Pulitzer Prize for their biography of US artist Jackson Pollock, spent 10 years researching their book, which argues that van Gogh was fatally shot in a farmyard in the town of Auvers-sur-Oise, near Paris.

Their hypothesis - which the head of the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam calls “spectacular” - has the art world talking.

“I must say, we feel we are in the middle of a whirlwind that we didn't quite anticipate,” Naifeh told AFP by telephone from South Carolina, where he and Smith live.

“We anticipated this would generate, not quite this level of furore, but certainly some level of furore,” he said.

Naifeh added: “These pieces of evidence came from multiple different sources, and only by putting them all together does this alternative version emerge.”

On the CBS show 60 Minutes, Naifeh asked: “How did he (Van Gogh) get the gun? Everybody in Auvers knew that he had been in an insane asylum. Pistols were a rarity in rural France. Who would've given Vincent van Gogh a gun?”

According to the authors, who had access to family letters and private correspondence, the painter left his boarding house on the fateful day - July 27, 1890 - with paints and easel.

“Why would he have waited just until this moment to end his days?” Naifeh told NRC Next. “He wasn't going through the most difficult period in his life.

“Does someone paint when he has decided to end his life? It just simply does not hold,” he added.

Van Gogh - portrayed by Kirk Douglas in the 1956 film Lust for Life - returned to the boarding house run by the Ravoux family five hours later with a bullet wound and died in the arms of his brother Theo after 30 hours.

Smith said doctors at the time reported the bullet entered at a “crazy angle”. The gun and his painting supplies from that day have never been found.

The authors argue that van Gogh was shot, probably accidentally, by one of the Secretan brothers. They say one of them alleged that the artist had stolen his pistol.

When asked by police whether he had committed suicide, he is said to have replied from his deathbed: “I believe so. Don't accuse anybody else... it is I who wanted to kill myself.”

According to the daughter of the boarding house owner - who was 13 at the time of van Gogh's death - the painter replied “yes” when a doctor asked him if he had taken his own life.

Naifeh told CBS: “What the evidence points to is that this incident took place not in the wheat fields, but in a farmyard on the Rue Boucher. That it involved these two boys.

“And that it was either an accident or a deliberate act. Was it playing cowboy in some way that went awry? Was it teasing with the gun with Vincent lunging out? It's hard to know what went on at that moment.”

The Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam - which had extended cooperation to the two authors - said the new theory was “interesting” but added it was premature to discard the long-held suicide theory.

Museum curator Leo Jansen said “there are still questions without answers regarding the suicide of Van Gogh”, but noted that the “spectacular” theory proposed by the two US writers also leaves “some questions unanswered”.

“The two authors have not found new facts, they have just interpreted them differently,” he said, also questioning why van Gogh would protect two boys “who never stopped bothering and teasing him?”

Naifeh said he believed “a couple of kids had shot Vincent van Gogh and he decided to basically protect them and accept this as the way to die. These kids had basically done him the favour of shooting him.

“He knew that he was a burden to Theo. So there's something wonderfully sweet and touching about the fact that Vincent would accept death partly to end his own misery. But even more so to take this terrible burden off of his beloved ill brother's shoulders.”

But Van Gogh - who once wrote that he would never amount to anything as a painter, and whose works now are among the most expensive pieces of art - would not have become the legend had he lived a normal life, leftist Dutch De Volkskrant daily said in an editorial on Tuesday.

“If Vincent van Gogh died of old age at the age of 80 in 1933, bathed in glory and in possession of both his ears, he would never have become the myth that he is today,” it said.

“His psychosis, his depressions, his errors and their manifestations - an ear severed, suicide - are as much the integral history of 'Vincent van Gogh' as the cypresses and wheat fields” he famously painted, it said. - Sapa-AFP

 

This is Bob Miller (vanrijngo) responce to the above article: 

The good Doctor Gachet knew Vincent had the gun or a strong suspicion of it, because Vincent almost pulled something big out of his pocket while his daughter and son were at his house before Vincent leaving to do this little shoot out at the OK corral. This incident of the doctor's threat happened because of the doctor not framing a bunch of his canvases he had given him and the doctor saying he would later on. There were works of his and other artists works Vincent knew were masters of the trade, which the good doctor had gotten for his practice just laying all over the floors.

Vincent's own landlord knew he had the gun, because he had lent it to Vincent for scarring the crows away while he was supposed to be painting in the corn fields.  If he would have known that Vincent and these two boys were going to be playing cowboys and acting out the shoot out at the OK corral, he more than likely wouldn't have lent it to him.

Another of the towns people that was very well trusted for what he said, knew Vincent did not go in the direction of the corn fields, but the other direction towards a farmers stockyard and farmyard corral where he supposedly received this piece of lead from these two youngsters playing cowboys. Vincent must have been hiding behind one of the big farm animal dung piles for his protection as they played out this American tragedy of a shoot out, like the happening at the OK corral.

The two young boys more than likely yelled out to Vincent after one of them accidentally shooting Vincent,... Sorry there ol' boy for shooting you,.... we were just playing with our dads guns and didn't know that they were loaded when one went off accidentally.  We got to get going now before someone sees us!  Please don't tell our parents that we shot you, and for Gods sakes have that wound looked at by a doctor please. 

Now more than likely as Vincent was lying there in all that animal defication, he was probably praying he would just die and be done with all the misery and pain he must have been going through, of being shot by those young boys lying there where he was. After laying there a long while having a hard time breathing and not dying, he thought that he had better hide the gun he borrowed for this little game of theirs, so they don't find out what gun actually shot him.  I've got to protect those young innocent boys to not ruin their young lives, so I'll just stuff this gun as far as I can down in this pile of dung so not one soul will be able to find it.

Cheers!

Video preview of mostly Vincent van Gogh works of art.

A video of Vincent van Gogh's ladies, his works of art from my collection including his sisters.  These works of art that are hanging on my walls were purchased from all over the world. Most of the art was bought by the use of the internet and eBay from 1998 till the present. Some were purchased from antique stores, antique collector  malls sales,  traveling antique shows from all over the northwestern USA and some from the east.

Before viewing this video I would like you to take a few moment of your time to look at a few picture I'm going to put up below for you to  see before viewing this video.

The Goupil Cie Gallery

Amazing clantel the Goupil Cie Galley received in those days.   I'll bet they weren't buying hay for those horses and I'll also bet those penny pinching elite society who were riding in those buggies were mostly buying prints for their walls.  Print and litho's were big business for the Goupel Cie when Vincent was working there.  He was sack for trying to convince their customers to support the artists, not the machines of his employers that was making most all their works of art.

Lovely little two sided drawing above.  It depicts Vincent van Gogh walking away from the Goupel Cie art gallery and artist supply Co with his supplies in his hand that his brother Theo was working for there in Paris.  Down the street is Agostina Sagatory his Girlfriend and Tamberine restarant owner with her cop boyfriend just behind her.  On the other side of this 19th century drawing is another drawing of the Pontnuff bridge there in Paris, France.

 



You people from Paris, France should be able to figure what bridge is depicted in this drawing above that's on the other side of the Gupil Cie Gallery drawing shown below.  Drawn in Paris 1886 by Vincent showing where he is leaving from the Gallery Goupel Cie with his art supplies in his hand to meet with his Girl friend Agostina from the Tamberin Restarant and Bar down the street.

This picture above is a cropped photograph  of a lady in France from a Vincent van Gogh Double-sided drawing from my collection.

Do you see the remarkable resemblance of the two women above?

The top one I bought on eBay in 1998 and the bottom is an  x-ray picture of one of the Vincent van Gogh foundation's, a pictures that is their own x-ray  of an underneith  portrait of a woman from their portrait of Agostina Sagatory painted by Vincent in Arles, France in 1887. 

This picture above is of Anna, one of Vincent van Gogh's sisters who was the cause for Vincent leaving her father and Mothers house after their fathers death.

This is a oil on artist board of Anna, Vincent's sister and what she would have look like when she was 7 years old when he painted it.  One of his barn yard drawings on it backside dated sept "62" of a horse and a barn yard with the horse started to be painted in oil.  It is kind of ironic that Vincent had chose a coral and barnyard to shoot himself at.

The back of Anna's portrait showing a horse and barnyard.

Does that say Kee?  Or is that Vincent smiling at us while winking for what he has on his mind and would like to do with that gloved hand of possibly his.
