I am starting this blog simply to post my favorite art. I am not an art historian. I am an out of work psychologist. This is more of a fan site for art than an educational one, although if you learn something all the better. I especially like to explore themes, and I have a particular penchant for nudes. If you have comments on the art, please post them. If you are in fact an expert in art, or know something about any of the works I've posted, please post those comments too.

The Fall of Man - Goltzius
The Fall of Man Hendrik Goltzius 1616 oil on canvas 104.5 x 138.4 cm (41 1/8 x 54 1/2 in.) National Gallery of Art Washington, D.C.
I love this depiction. Dutch painter Hendrik Goltzius shows the couple as lovers, not shameful fools.
