Harry Potter Morning Light

It’s true that Pomona doesn’t have Sistine frescoes or William Blake books on its shelves, but she has a lecture on the Louvre works here, which she uses in her French class.

The Virgin Mary described by Raphael is famous for its beauty, whether it is in the chair or in the field.

Medieval paintings are mainly religious themes, and there are strict rules for expressing such themes. The more obvious feature is that all saints or angels have to draw a thin halo on their heads, showing that they are not very human, even in Gothic In the era, it is also necessary to paint the halo with gold to form a golden disc.

In order to avoid this unnatural effect, Raphael in the early days only painted a seemingly invisible ring, which is not considered a violation of the canon.

In his later works, even this seemingly invisible ring disappeared, and the Madonna became more and more secular. For example, Raphael used everyday scenes when he painted The Madonna of the Gardener. He ran over to find his mother, so his mother closed the book and stretched out her hand to hug him.

Such a Madonna is no longer the mother in the medieval religious paintings, the one holding a baby in a chair, with a serious expression and a dignified and serene look, who needs to use red paint to express her love. The painters at that time tried their best to make the blue coat of the Virgin Mary open a little, revealing the red coat inside. This is also stipulated by the doctrine, and the painter cannot change it without authorization.

Her portraits have no flying skirts, and the lines are drooping or stiff. The Madonna of the Gardener has an oval face, a small mouth, fair skin and light golden hair, and a tulle on her head. This kind of dress was very popular in Italy at that time, as if you would see her at the next corner.

The ancient Greeks used the most perfect human body to shape their gods, but few were as bold as Michelangelo. Raphael's Madonna of the Gardener adopts a pyramid shape, which is a very stable composition, and the Virgin of the Grass also uses this composition.

However, the posture of The Madonna on the Grass is very unnatural. Maria bends her left knee, stretches her right foot forward, and twists her waist to hold the baby. In reality, no woman would hold a baby in this posture.

The posture of the Virgin in the chair is also very awkward. To imitate the picture, you need to raise your left knee, let the child sit on your right knee, lean your back against the back of the chair, and finally put your face close to the child. The waist is broken.

This is what Da Vinci said. In an outstanding painting, the distribution and arrangement of characters should be consistent with the meaning you want these actions to express. The pyramid structure itself is also deeply influenced by Da Vinci.

In The Madonna of the Gardener, there are two babies on the left and one on the right. Maria pays attention to one, while the other seems to be ignored. In The Madonna on the Meadow, both children are on one side, and she turns her head to look after both children. But the whole picture is out of balance, so the left knee of Madonna on the Grass is raised.

The Madonna in the Chair is like gnashing gears, and the characters are very intimate with each other. Not only are their faces close to each other, but the function of the Madonna's knees is to make the baby sit still, otherwise he will be floating in the air, which is very unstable. This was done mainly to stabilize the picture, and made the Virgin unnatural in desperation.

However, magic happened, neither the Madonna on the grass nor the Madonna in the chair gave people an unnatural feeling, as if the picture should be like this.

Maternal love is not the same as the beauty of a youthful girl. In the book in Pomona's hand, the author deliberately placed the Flora painted by Titian and Rembrandt's Flora in the same position on the two pages of the book.

Titian's Flora was young and beautiful. She didn't have any flowers all over her body, but she was light and gorgeous, as charming as flowers.

Rembrandt's Flora is already old, and she wears a wreath of flowers on her head, as if to show her identity as Flora.

When the two paintings are put together, no one can doubt that Titian's Flora is much more beautiful. But Rembrandt's flower god is his wife Saskia. Rembrandt's life has been full of ups and downs. Rembrandt's talent and demeanor attracted him, but Rembrandt waited until Saskia became an adult before proposing marriage.

They were very happy and loving after their marriage, and Saskia became his source of inspiration. However, since he painted Night Watch, Rembrandt's career plummeted and he began the second half of his life. At this time, Saskia But she stayed with her until she died giving birth to their fourth child.

This reminded Pomona of Molly and Arthur, Molly's figure had been completely out of shape after having seven children, but Arthur still called her Molly Tickle.

Regardless of what Saskia looks like in the eyes of outsiders, in Rembrandt's eyes she will always be his Flower God.

Time is cruel, it makes the goddess of youth old, and the hero is no longer strong, and needs to walk with a cane like the old man in the puzzle of the Sphinx.

For an ugly duckling who doesn't know his life experience, he doesn't understand why he has to go through so many hardships. He is like a Cinderella. He has to get up early in the morning to clean the pot and do other housework. It is the meaning of his existence in home.

But just think of his future adversary and the war that the Centaur prophesied would follow after this brief peace. Happiness needs strength to guard. Isabella Sidney has been to the African grasslands and seen real lions, not the kind locked in cages. Courage and strength are needed to deal with that kind of beast, not to mention Leviathan and Behemoth, who represent war. Under their crushing, many families have been crushed.

Pomona wasn't lacking in the requisite ruthlessness, a person who pushed others forward despite her own uselessness, and perhaps that was why Albus was the first to try to convince her.

Lionesses will protect their cubs, not to mention they have a sense of justice. When Severus was being bullied by James, Lily did not help James, who belonged to the same academy, and Pomona introduced Severus to the centaur.

When Severus grew up, she would worry about him abusing his power, joining the Death Eaters and nearly destroying himself.

When she read the book of Job, she no longer believed in the God who watched the devil tormenting Job, but stood idly by.

But she still hopes to have a father who can accept the prodigal son back.

Nietzsche said, you have to be wary of the overflowing love in your heart. A lonely person can't wait to extend his hand to the person he meets.

Maybe it can be understood in this way that she can't wait, like an ordinary woman, longing for love. This kind of love made her accept the suspect in a state of insanity. Even at the time, there was no clear evidence to prove that the person who used the portrait to curse was not someone from Slytherin College.

A girl in her academy had been the victim, and Phoebe was such a sweet, cuddly stuffed animal.

She didn't know why Phoebe was considering going to Hogsmeade with a boy from a pure-blood family. Anyway, she would have to wait until she came back to inquire about it. Before that, they were going to visit Hagrid.

The two bottles of Pumpkin Soda were a gift from Hagrid. Pomona only drank two sips. After drinking two bottles, Severus noticed something was wrong, and then he set the soda on fire with a raging fire.

The soda had vodka in it, and Pomona was going to serve it at the Halloween party.

But when they got to Hagrid's cabin, they found him with the children. The freshmen of the first year were very new to those free-range magical animals, and Charlie was beside him, holding a Niffler in his hand.

Then Pomona saw Elena Aiken, who, like the other freshmen, was very happy to watch the magical animals.

What do you want? Severus said.

How about what? She asked angrily.

He tilted his head and motioned her to look in Aiken's direction.

Pomona looked at Aiken now, and thought of the little girl who was crying in the preparation room of the auditorium on the first day of school, because she gave Aiken another choice at that time.

I'm not a saint, shouldn't I be angry? She said forcefully.

Apologize, you didn't make an unforgivable mistake anyway, Severus said, and walked over to Hagrid.

Pomona looked at Aiken, who saw her too, and the smile on her face disappeared like melting ice.

She didn't want to spoil the fun of so many people, but...

Maybe she could ask Charlie if he found the hippogriff, and where did the Niffler come from?

That's right, that's it!

She said this to herself in her heart, and walked over there with heavy steps.
