Viljo Valter Suokas, Knight Of The Mannerheim Cross (The Most Distinguished Finnish Military Honor).

Mortally wounded behind enemy lines, his last words under terrible pain and paralyzed from the waist down were “Guys, I can't stand it anymore. Take my cap off my head and read me the Lord's Prayer”

Elena Arcangeli, portrait and two selfportraits.

The Venus of Urbino. Titian.

Either its a portrait of Angela Zaffetta, a leading courtesan in Venice, made for the pleasure of 21-year-old Ippolito de Medici (reluctantly made a cardinal by the Pope his uncle (but not priest)), after he spent just one night with the courtesan.

Or it was commissioned by Guidobaldo II de la Rovere, the 24-year-old son of the Duke of Urbino, to celebrate his marriage in 1534 to the 10-year-old Giulia Varano, which made him  Duke of Camerino, or its consummation, which was probably a few years later.

You can chose one, but anyway Venus was there….
