It's quite good, culturally speaking (at least for the regions I know), well done.

Funnily enough, the Black Prince is facing the wrong way. King John is laying 5 metres behind him.

Compared to other religions, conversion to Judaism is quite complex and sometimes not allowed at all. The proselyte culture is a lot less developed than for other monotheistic religions.

Or understand that remote ancestry doesn't necessarily give you a right to some land

Big mistake to be born

Judaism is - mostly - not a religion of conversion, that's why it's always complicated to separate the religious aspect from the ethnic side when talking about 'Jews'.

Even if the ancestry is muddled in millennia of mixing with other local populations, I suppose most Jews can still claim that they descend from Israeli ancestors at some point, and it makes sense.

I don't know why we always use 'the elder' and 'the younger' for all these guys (see also Cato or Pitt*) and not 'the elder' and 'the lame loser' instead.

Always giving us the context might be the coolest thing since Pliny the Elder live-tweeted the eruption of Vesuvius. Thanks.

Le livre commence par la fin : son départ de Matignon, le 9 janvier, alors qu’elle vient de faire voter avec succès la loi sur l’immigration. « Le pire est derrière moi », croit Elisabeth Borne, fin 2023, persuadée qu’elle poursuivra sa « mission » jusqu’aux élections européennes de juin. Le 31 décembre, lors de ses vœux télévisés, Emmanuel Macron « remercie » sa première ministre. Une attention inhabituelle qui inquiète l’intéressée, plutôt que de la rassurer.

Difficile de contenir mon indifférence.

I'm trying to find the author and the title of a painting that I vaguely remember.

The painting shows a man painting a woman. It looks like an ordinary self portrait but if you look closer you will see that the painted woman has an arm going out of the picture and is directing the arm of the painter.

I think the painted woman was the master of the male painter?

I think it's from Italy, 17th century (very vague reminiscence here)?

I keep thinking about Artemisia Gentileschi but can't find any link to something similar

Any help would be appreciated, it's driving me crazy
