Thanks to the paintings of artists like Hans Holbein, we have very definitive ideas about the appearance and personalities of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and her successor Elizabeth I.

В 1889 году художник, журналист и один из теоретиков символизма Эмиль Бернар написал небольшую заметку, посвященную творчеству Поля Сезанна. Долгие годы Бернар был поклонником художника, но познакомился с ним лично лишь в 1904 году, остановившись на месяц в Экс-ан-Провансе – родном городе и месте силы Сезанна. Почти каждый день Эмиль Бернар навещал Сезанна. Вместе они ходили на пленэры и много говорили об искусстве.

Dutch painter and printmaker Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. As a painter, he never considered glamorizing what he saw, and he was a master of creating extraordinary scenes with light and shadows. His paintings were unique for their ability to depict action and moods. Sadly, having a mistress and spending recklessly went far to ruin his reputation during his lifetime. Rembrandt died penniless and was buried in a pauper’s grave.

It reveals inequalities and offers fertile new ways of living. Funny Weather brings together a career's worth of Laing's writing about art and culture, and their role in our political and emotional lives.
