Rembrandt

Yesterday Rembrandt and I shared the exquisiteness of inspiration together at the Musée du Louvre in Paris.  My role as viewer was simply to open my eyes and heart to the large canvas framed in gilded gold.  I sat down on the leather padded bench in awe; I was observing a Rembrandt!  The artist reached to me across the centuries filling me with a sense of knowing beauty.  His painting Bathsheba at her Bath features a female different from the almost anorexic body that is shoved down my throat in print ... the starlets of contemporary times.  David's queen was not a hard body, her curves were many ... she is a masterpiece.
