Maja vestida - Francisco Goya (1800-1808)

The young woman lying on the sofa wears a thin, tight-fitting dress that reveals her physical form. Her face is round and her cheeks are rosy. Her hair is thick and dark. Around her hips, she also wears a tight pink silk sash and her shoulders are covered by a jacket. On her feet, she wears a pair of golden shoes with pointed toes. The young woman looks towards the observer of the work without showing embarrassment or modesty. She has her arms raised and hides her hands behind her neck. The background is devoid of furnishings and details. The lack of documentation regarding the commission of the Maja paintings led some historians to think that the two works depict the Duchess of Alba, also known as Cayetana.
Goya was very close friends with the Duchess of Alba and created numerous portraits of the noblewoman. Experts have therefore emphasized a certain resemblance between these and the face painted in Maja desnuda. Louis Viardot, in 1843 in the text Les musées de Espagne, proposed the hypothesis that the Duchess posed for the painting. More recent historians, however, argue that the face and perhaps even the body of Maja desnuda is that of Pepita Tudó, Goya's lover. Another hypothesis is that while portraying Pepita, Goya also captured the features of his friend the Duchess. The female figure depicted in Maja desnuda is more graceful than that in Maja vestida. Furthermore, the two faces are not similar but only vaguely alike.
The young woman depicted in Goya's work wears accessories that were at the time worn by aristocratic women. The protagonist thus assumes an ambiguous identity. The title identifies her as maja, but the clothing suggests a young noblewoman. The term derives from popular Spanish language and means elegant. [source analizidellopera.it]

I submit to your attention a gem; "masterpiece" is a term I don't particularly like, as it is too overused.
#psichedelia #folk Mayo Thompson, Corky's debt to his father (full album)
I hope it will never be hailed as a "masterpiece," as it does not deserve it. In its own little way, "gem" is much better for "us" who love music almost to the point of selfishness, fearing to see great albums "ruined" with meaningless big words. Just as, without a shadow of a doubt, I have also done, destroying with my words music that did not deserve my ignorant axe.

I have already had the opportunity to highlight this #folk collection, featuring unknown names united by a spirit, or rather by a specter of solitude that elevates these sparse laments, almost Anthems of Isolation. The individual interpreters are worth discovering.

Siren Song He has a career that has been going on for about fifteen years, so he belongs to this group. There are many hidden gems (but not too hidden) here and there in his albums, and this is one of them. A mocking piano (because the dramatic tone catches you off guard) and a unique atmosphere.
