Open To Interpretation

The Studies of St. Jerome and St. Augustine

























Notes:  something wrong in the immediacy of the web link...lag, and things won't open...and, and I'm getting "update failed" messages...couldn't link to facebook at all...anyway, anyway, I was watching a youtube vlog...brb...Botticelli: A Curator's View...and it mentions Botticelli's "St. Augustine in His Study"...another artist did a contemporary bookend, "St. Jerome in his Study"...in Botticelli's, Augustine has his hand over his heart, he had been writing a letter to Jerome, Jerome likewise to him, but Jerome died while writing!...And Augustine was divinely notified of this, hence his hand over his heart...brb...see wiki's takes...this is a really famous incident!...and the studies of scholars were a thing for painters...Durer notably in  his "St. Augustine in his Study"...now, now just a laptop hooked to the web is a "study"!...when it works...the ACER Nitro 5 has been working fine...fast...but now, I dunno...whole thing reminds me of Jefferson and Hamilton, letter writing, and both dying same time, or some such...MKYDs breakfast burrito and coffee, Weinershnitzel pastrami hotdog, new on the menu, which I didn't order-wanted Chicago Dog, and lemonade, fries...hooking up the printer, an app failed, but stuck around--what does that mean!?...finally  used HP's download...the other one fished for payment signup...all these apps do that...free, they say, until thru the prompts you've given out your bank and credit card, your "wallet", and like herded into signing up...fast food prices going up...Disney Plus went up a dollar no sooner than I got it...gas highest in three years...the government is handing out free money, and things going haywire...remarkable the study scholars do of their predecessors' studies!
