Oh, ok. Thanks for the clarification.
Again, thank you for all the great art!
Monet's life, especially during this time was a confusing mess. His wife had died a few years prior, his benefactor had gone bankrupt, and Monet had started communicating with his next wife all around the time of this painting, and many others similar to it. Therefore I have collected a few summaries from around the web about this:
Monet was inspired by Etretat in the Caux region of Normandy, which he visited every year between 1883 and 1886. He had first come across the area in 1868 and was particularly drawn by how picturesque it was - so much so that it resulted in more than 50 paintings. However, he only painted the Manneporte - the largest of three arches known as the "Gates," twice. When this work was created in c. 1885, Monet regularly met with Guy de Maupassant, a popular 19th-century French writer - often considered one of the "fathers" of the modern short story. Etretat, where Maupassant was living at the time, was the selling chosen for a number of his own works. His thoughts and feelings were mirrored in the works created by Monet of these monumental cliffs and his love of the Normandy coast. Known as the "Elephant and the Needle," due to the rock formations, these famous cliffs are painted by Monet in a typical Impressionist style, with its atmospheric conditions and the effect of the light. The illusion of movement on the sea is carefully created using separate brushstrokes, combined with vibrant colors. Monet was renowned for applying one color over another while the first was still wet - this is evident in this painting through the setting sun.
The work was painted during the winter months, presenting the artist with a number of obstacles, not least the weather, the difficult terrain, and the changing tides.

Oscar Claude Monet is considered the archetypal Impressionist, with his devotion to painting the transient effects of light and color "en plein air" unwaveringly throughout his long career. Appropriately, it is one of his pictures, Impression: Sunrise, which gave the group of artists painting in this style its name. Born in Paris, Monet attended L’Academie Suisse from 1859-60 and subsequently enrolled in the studio of Glenyre, where he met Renoir and Sisley, with whom he formed the nucleus of the Impressionist group. He organized the first Impressionist exhibit in 1874 and became the group’s leader, initiator and unswerving advocate. Monet moved to Giverny in 1883, planting the extensive gardens and lily ponds that would provide the inspiration for his later works. From 1890 he concentrated on a series of pictures in which he painted the same subject at different times of the day in different light. The most popular of these are the Haystacks and Rouen Cathedral series. He continued to travel widely, visiting London and Venice several times, yet increasingly he focused his attention on Giverny. There, the celebrated water gardens inspired the Water Lilies series that dominated his work for the remainder of his life.
The Third of May 1808, oil painting by Spanish artist Francisco Goya that was completed in 1814. It evokes the horrors of war with great emotional force and is stylistically revolutionary.
On March 17, 1808, the Revolt of Aranjuez ended the reign of King Charles IV of Spain and his wife, María Luisa, the royal patrons of Goya. Charles’s son, Ferdinand VII, was made king. Taking advantage of the factionalism of the Spanish royal family and government, Napoleon moved in and eventually gained power. The Third of May 1808 portrays the execution of the Spanish insurgents by French troops near Príncipe Pío Hill in Madrid. Napoleon’s brother, Joseph Bonaparte, took the crown, and the French occupation of Spain lasted until 1813.
It is unclear what Goya’s political leanings were but he spent most of the occupation recording the atrocities of war. His acclaimed print series The Disasters of War included perhaps the most poignant and unadulterated images of war that Europe had ever seen. The prints were etched from red chalk drawings, and the artist’s innovative use of captioning recorded a blunt commentary of the brutality of war.
The Third of May 1808 is Goya’s most unapologetic piece of propaganda. Painted once Ferdinand had been restored to the throne, it champions the patriotism of the Spaniards. The central figure is a martyr: he assumes a Christlike pose revealing stigmata on his palms. The Spaniards are shown as human, colourful, and individual; the French inhuman, faceless, and uniform. The image remains one of the most iconic visions of militaristic violence in art, together with Édouard Manet’s The Execution of Maximilian (1867–68) and Picasso’s Guernica (1937).
Will do, thanks brother
Lol. Oh, your kids are perfect little angels that are never annoying I assume. Congrats.
That would be a great superhero power: the ability to make people shut their mouths instantly.
This is great, but can someone explain what the fuck is going on in this picture?
As a friend, get it sorted out asap. It will only get worse as you get older and one day you'll just have a disorder or a drug addiction or both.
There's plenty of free ways to talk to a counselor or therapist, and you just keep trying out different ones until you find someone you like. But they will help you find ways to deal with your problems that will make your future self capable of being happy and fulfilled instead of miserable and alone.
They're all places sad Pablo Escobar sits in the nobody memes, except he's removed from the pics.
I feel like that's how a lot of these go. We could've had flying pintos if they had used larger wings. But then the inventor dies and their work rarely gets picked up again, even though most of the heavy lifting is done.
No offense, but I know how to read a stack trace, and yes locate a familiar file - if you're lucky enough to have one listed therein.
My point is, there is no excuse for them being so terrible except that they've always been that way.
The important information should be brief and at the top. This is design 101. The same ideas that have driven newspaper articles and websites for as long as the two have been a thing.
You put the important stuff in big letters at the top, and the rest, if you need it, is beneath the fold.
Edit: just to drive the point home: I'm sure it's not the packages I've downloaded that are causing the error, I am positive it is my code, so show me where my code had a mistake first. Then you can show me the horrible "wall of text" that is the stack trace so I can understand it better later, but 99% of the time, just seeing the line that caused the error is enough to know what the problem is.
