Quotation
Art work appreciation:
Madonna of the Partridges by Van Dyke. Catherine II acquired it. Would you like to tell me about this painting?
-Please, tell me.
See the calm and serenity around the Madonna and Joseph.
- Joseph, yes.
God protects them. There is no doubt about His unseen presence. The apple tree represents life. Sunflowers stand for piety. On the upper right, partridges symbolize frivolity.
- They're flying away.
Partridges. Angels dance and play. So many other symbols that we can only guess about.

Eternal people. So, live on. Live on. You'll outlive them all.
