Veronese's majestic, full-length portrait of the countess and her eldest daughter Deidamia, born in 1545, was originally accompanied by one of her husband Count Issepo (Giuseppe) da Porto and their son Leonida (now in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence). These paintings were most likely installed in their palace in Vicenza, which had recently been built by Andrea Palladio (1508-1580). The portraits would have been placed so that it would appear as if the family were standing in niches inside the palace; however, the floor strip below is a later addition. Veronese was famous for his use of color and mastered the rendering of luxurious textures and fabrics, including the marten's fur. The head of gold and enamel is nearly identical to one in the Walters' collection (57.1982). Marten fur was thought to protect women in childbirth, and in 1552 the countess was pregnant with her daughter Emilia.

Hi, beaders! It's time for our monthly challenge color palette. This month's challenge piece is "Nighthawks" by Edward Hopper, and is a true masterpiece of American art. When I studied it in college, there was never a final assessment about what the meaning of it was, since it's considered one of Hopper's most ambiguous paintings. Several of my fellow students said it felt lonely, but I always felt like "Nighthawks" was more of a statement of sanctuary - four night owls in a restaurant in the middle of the night. I think that initial feeling I had back then has influenced the way I view and relate to the colors in the painting; my eye is drawn first to the saturated warm colors of red, reddish browns, oranges, and yellow, colors that I personally associate with creativity. So, color-wise, my first instinct is to find the happier, warmer colors in the painting. But the longer I looked, the more colors I saw, and I have to say that I was really surprised by all of the colors I found. Cool blues, slightly desaturated greens, and warm browns started appearing. I wouldn't have thought it at first, but "Nighthawks" has a ton of colors in it. So, with that in mind, and because each palette has a slightly different feel, I'm sharing all four of the color palettes I made for this month's challenge. What colors do you see in "Nighthawks"? Which palette do you gravitate to?
