Elisabeth Vigee Lebrun – Lady Hamilton as a Bacchante This portrait represents a remarkable collaboration between two fascinating female figures in 18th-century Europe. Though she spoke begrudgingly of the free-spirited and often scandalous figure of Lady Hamilton, Elisabeth Vigee Lebrun painted her multiple times. Vigee Lebrun was one of the only successful professional female artist of the 18th century, and was a favoured portrait of Marie Antoinette during her controversial reign as queen of France. In this more light-hearted commission, Vigee Lebrun pictures the frivolity of Lady Hamilton as a Bacchante, a companion to god of wine.

"The aspects of things that are most important to us are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity." - Ludwig Wittgenstein

Instincts, we tend to think, are automatic, unconscious patterns of behavior. The spiders’s web that glistens in the morning dew was dictated by a genetic code in the spider’s tiny brain. The web may be a lovely sight to our eyes, but its beauty is a mere by-product of a spider’s way of enjoying breakfast. From the standpoint of either the spider or the human observer, such pretty accidents of nature are a long way from how we normally regard works of art. ~ Dennis Dutton en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Dutton

In pursuing the idea, I came to see anthropomorphism as pervading human thought and action. It ranged from spontaneous perception in daily life, to art, to science; from voices in the wind, to Mickey Mouse, to the Earth as Gaia. It also seemed central to religious belief, so much so that explaining it would explain religion. ~ vii Preface I claim we anthropomorphize because guessing that the world is humanlike is a good bet. It is a bet because the world is uncertain , ambiguous, and in need of interpretation. It is a good bet because the most valuable interpretation usually are those that disclose the presence of the whatever is mot important to us. That usually is other humans. ~ Page 3 (intro) Excerpt: “Faces in the cloud” ~ Stewart Gathrie
