Thank you, Pearl. That definitely is a dreeeeeaaaaamy shirt Caravaggio has given him. P.S., I added a spot of colour to his cheeks since you posted, just in case you saved it and would like to re-save it.

Caravaggio seems to have designed all the shirts his subjects wear (when worn by Mario Minniti) to look removable. *sound of fabric sliding off* Speaking of fabric sliding off Frodo, you might take a look at Cuthalion's and Illyria's new "Wedding Night", an AU take on Cuthalion's already AU fic BIGTS. They did verrrrry well. It really is a good fic, and its dis-robing merits are not negligible, either.

*happy, happy, sigh*

That is so beautiful, Mechtild; both Frodo and the painting!
I just can't stop staring.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

You are welcome, Hobbitlove. Caravaggio really had film-Frodo in mind, as we all know!

Beautiful, as always. Frodo and Caravaggio... what a perfect combination!:)

Thank you for the manip and the very interesting explanation.

[mechtild]

Bagma, I hope teaching is a little better these days. Perhaps you could do a lesson on the Baroque? Stop! Don't beat me!

I enjoyed your commentary as much as the manip! :D

[mechtild]

Thank you, Shirebound.

Oh good heavens!
Give this creature wings and set him on a splendorous baroque altar as an angel musician! (Well I just listen to Telemann's music, that might make my mind thinking in a certain direction.) But what you created is a reason for me to try and be good a life long, then get in Heaven and see this angel with my own eyes!
Thank you for sharing this special jewel, Mechtild! It is so wonderful!

Aredhelebenesse! You are a fan of the painter as well as the hobbit, then? Well, I suppose so. Just look at the chiaroscuro in your icon manip!

Film-Frodo and Caravaggio really do suit.

[aredhelebenesse]

Film-Frodo as the adorable little cherub that he is fits almost in every single one of those Italian paintings from late renaissance to romantic. He's just the perfect picture of a fresh and tender little lad. The ideal picture.
Ermmm ... I'm not obsessed with this imagination. Not me. Nono! ;)

[mechtild]

Ooooh -- I've seen that icon before but forgot where - did you make it? It's very enigmatic. What painting is it made from?
