's , ("bearded-mask" carnival). Beginning in 1449, it was popular but ended in 1539 due to the complaints of an influential preacher named who objected to his effigy playing backgammon surrounded by fools and devils.

Nobody knows why were popular. Are also suspect that was hiding something. ;)

Thread 1. I never truly appreciated art or artists. I never fully appreciated the historical significance of portrait painting either, until I saw this one. When I traveled to London I made a point to stop at the National Gallery and look at it in person. Not even 5 years ago I would have walked right by if I even set foot in there. I will try to explain why this particular piece fascinates me. Please be patient as I am not a historian.

@Marriedaviking Apropos of nothing... i thought you might appreciate a piece of my dad's ceramic art.

He likes to make tableaus of craftsmen plying their trades, but set about 100 years ago. 🙂
