The most beautiful day: Today.
The easiest thing: Equivocate.
The biggest obstacle: Fear.
The gravest error: give up, to despair.

Charles Angrand | Neo-Impressionist painter
Charles Angrand (1854-1926) was a visible presence in the Parisian avant-garde in the late 1880s and early 1890s. Associated with a circle of artists known as the Neo-Impressionists, Angrand emulated the shadowy crayon drawings of Georges Seurat, Neo-Impressionism's standard-bearer.
Here Angrand presents himself, not at all as an artist, but as a bourgeois dandy, impeccably dressed and smoking a small cigar.

Rainer Maria Rilke | La sera / The evening
Johan August Malmström (1829-1901) Dancing Fairies, 1866
Come una indefinibile fata d'ombre...
Vien da lungi la Sera, camminando
per l'abetaia tacita e nevosa.

Leonardo da Vinci | Il pittore dà i gradi delle cose opposte all'occhio..
Trattato della Pittura
Parte prima | Capitolo 27
Benché le cose opposte all'occhio si tocchino l'un l'altra di mano in mano, nondimeno farò la mia regola di venti in venti braccia, come ha fatto il musico infra le voci, che benché la sia unita ed appiccata insieme, nondimeno ha pochi gradi di voce in voce, domandando quella prima, seconda, terza, quarta e quinta, e cosí di grado in grado ha posto nomi alla varietà di alzare e abbassare la voce.

Leonardo da Vinci | Come la Musica si dee chiamare sorella e minore della Pittura
Trattato della Pittura
Parte prima | Capitolo 25
Viola Organista c. 1493-95
La musica non è da essere chiamata altro che sorella della pittura, conciossiaché essa è subietto dell'udito, secondo senso all'occhio, e compone armonia con la congiunzione delle sue parti proporzionali operate nel medesimo tempo, costrette a nascere e morire in uno o piú tempi armonici, i quali tempi circondano la proporzionalità de' membri di che tale armonia si compone, non altrimenti che faccia la linea circonferenziale per le membra di che si genera la bellezza umana.
