I chose this specifically because the (to Northern European eyes) festive sights of snow and ale barrels contrasted with the grimness of the day.

I was listening to Radio 4 this morning and discovered: "Shortly after its creation the painting came into the possession of the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolph II, in Prague. The slaughtered babies were painted over with details such as bundles, food and animals so that, instead of a massacre," ...."The shadow of the infants can be seen underneath the over-painted areas. " Rudolph had done in paint what we do in reality - obscure the inconvenient truth of our human barbarity. Tabourellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775755959420921452noreply@blogger.com
