How would Jane Austen’s (1775–1817) characters react to famous paintings? Mona Lisa — Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) Would Elizabeth Bennet be amused by all the interpretations built around the smile? Would Emma Woodhouse immediately try to “read” the personality of the woman in the portrait? Would Lady Catherine de Bourgh accept the mystery — or confidently explain what the expression really means? Water Lilies — Claude Monet (1840–1926) Would Mr. Darcy appreciate the quietness and restraint of the painting? Would Anne Elliot see something in it about time, memory, and things that change slowly? Would Marianne Dashwood simply be overwhelmed by the atmosphere? The Starry Night — Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) Would Elizabeth Bennet be drawn to the energy and freedom of the image? Would Catherine Morland turn the restless sky into the beginning of a Gothic mystery? Would Marianne Dashwood notice the beauty first — or the unease? Perhaps the way a character looks at a painting tells us as much about the character as it does about the artwork. #JaneAusten #PrideAndPrejudice #Emma #NorthangerAbbey #SenseAndSensibility #Persuasion #ArtAndLiterature #ArtHistory #ArthurWren #English

No dia 7 de fevereiro de 2025, eu fiz um tweet anunciando a minha decisão de pedir exoneração do meu concurso pra tentar viver a vida fazendo as coisas que eu genuinamente amo. Muitos de vocês sabem sobre o meu trabalho com perfumaria, que é fora do Twitter, mas eu também trouxe um pouco desse meu amor pela perfumaria pra vocês aqui na página. Mas o que eu quero verdadeiramente dizer é que, entre os dias 3 e 7 de setembro, eu vou estar na Beauty Fair, que é o maior evento de perfumaria e cosmética da América Latina, como convidado, com a passagem completamente custeada e trabalhando com o que eu amo. Acho que esse é o maior sinal de “as coisas estão dando certo” que eu recebi desde o dia em que tomei a decisão de abandonar a “vida tradicional” e ir de peito aberto em busca dos meus sonhos. Esse tweet é apenas para confortar vocês, meus camaradas, que tanto gostam de mim, e dizer que as coisas estão dando certo. ❤️ Sei que vocês torcem por mim tanto quanto eu torço por vocês. Muito obrigado por tudo, sempre. #Perfumaria #Beleza #Sonhos

🪵 Lordelo: Where Wood Became Identity Long before large factories and modern technology transformed the furniture industry, it was in workshops like this one that the true soul of Lordelo, Paredes was forged. Between the rhythmic sound of the chisel, hammer and hand plane, generations of master craftsmen brought wood to life, transforming simple timber into authentic works of art. Every piece of furniture was created with patience, precision and passion, carrying with it knowledge passed down from one generation to the next. These workshops were much more than workplaces. They were schools of craftsmanship, where people learned a trade, built friendships and created a future for their families. Here, a tradition was born that helped establish Lordelo as one of Portugal's important centres of furniture craftsmanship. Every carving, every detail and every finished piece tells a story of hard work, talent and pride. It is a human and cultural heritage that deserves to be preserved and celebrated, because it represents the identity of a community that found in wood a way to create prosperity, beauty and a future. Today, when we look back at these workshops, we pay tribute to all those men and women who, with skilled hands and tireless dedication, helped make Lordelo a land recognised for the excellence of its craftsmanship. May this memory never be lost. Because a people without memory lose part of their identity. And Lordelo has an extraordinary story to tell. ❤️ Share this post and help preserve the memory of our craftsmen and artisans. The future is built by valuing the roots of the past. #CidadeLordeloParedes #Lordelo #Paredes #Woodworking #Craftsmanship #Heritage #History #Culture #Furniture #Tradition #Memory #LordeloPride
