©Herbert James Draper, The Lament For Icarus, 1898
O idol! With thy ruby lips and pearly teeth, If thou dost desire my wings,
how shall I fly attendance on thee?
O idol! The moon-faced beauty of thee sits in the corner of the throne,
Alas! Why do I roam the earth in search of thy Crwon?
O idol! Thou mayst take my feet, yet I, blind, run towards thee
If thou dost wish to cut off my steps, how shall I find my way to mount sinai of thee?

©Evelyn De Morgan, The Angel of Death, 1880
O Thou! Who doth smile upon my existence, doth smile terribly upon my madness
My death, like a jest, doth laugh harshly upon my absence
Alas! The plight of that pauper who, upon beholding thy fair countenance
Doth steal death from him until he doth find no scent of thy deliverance

Antonio Vivaldi wrote at least three Gloria compositions, settings of the hymn Gloria in excelsis Deo (Latin for "Glory to God in the highest"), with words probably dating back to the 4th century, and an integral part of the mass ordinary about 1715.
The hymn begins with the angels sang when announcing the birth of Christ to shepherds in Luke 2 : 14. Other verses were added very early, forming a doxology (short hymn of praises to God).

She, in a hundred disguises, runs away and hides
You, in every trap, are entwined, O cursed one
What is it to them but humiliation?
When they saw you, they torn to pieces, one by one
Oh, Witness! You are the delightful antidote
Have mercy, Particularly, on thy beheaded one

Like father, like daughter 🎨
We're taking a closer look at the work of Artemisia Gentileschi and her father, Orazio. Born in Rome, Artemisia was the eldest of five children and the only daughter of Orazio, whom she trained under. While her brothers remained working with her father, Artemisia pursued an independent career in Florence and became an artist of considerable success, working for the highest echelons of European society, including the Grand Duke of Tuscany and Philip IV of Spain.
In the late 1630s Artemisia travelled to London where her father had assumed a position at the court of Charles I. It is thought that Artemisia collaborated with Orazio on ceiling canvases in the Great Hall of the Queen’s House at Greenwich where his painting, 'The Finding of Moses', hung.
