Tiny Shops For Mice In Sweden



Sweden's mini-street art for mice, created by mystery art collective Anonymouse, have been grabbing global headlines. Here is some of their latest work.



The catch? You have to get down on all fours to see them, tucked away as they are at the bottom of buildings, just big enough for mice.



The identities of Anonymouse are still unknown, but you can check their Instagram account for more information.

"Girl with a Pearl Earring" by J. Vermeer, dated c. 1665

Speaking in terms of artistic-painterly influence on Vermeer, the great painterly figure behind his chiaroscuro is of course the grand master of chiaroscuro in European painting, the "second Michelangelo", my absolute favourite painter among the old masters, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) - a violent and downright dangerous man, but God Allmighty what a painter!!!

Caravaggio influenced innumerable other painters, in particular painters from Italy, France, Flandern, Holland and Spain.
