It's hydrangea season。When I go out for a while, I see not only my garden but also、Hydrangeas from every garden turn their heads to say “hello”.。
Looking at this picture、Leonardo da Vinci visible in the background、What does “St. Jerome in the Wilderness” have to do with “hydrangea”?、You wonder about it before you think about hydrangeas.。
“St. Jerome” is、to gain enlightenment、Donate everything to the church and go out to practice in the wilderness.。There, the lion was suffering from a thorn stuck in its leg, and I pulled out the thorn.。That's the scene in the background picture.。
In short, the theme of the painting is "(free!) love" (though there seem to be various ideas about "free" in the Christian church at the time).。Rain is inevitable for hydrangeas.。If you add the title ``Jiu'' to it,、The previously disparate motifs come together as one piece.、That's what I thought、Maybe I'm trying to reason too much。
I happened to be looking for a photo of hydrangeas.、A page of "St. Jerome..." happened to be reflected in part of the background.。I thought it would be interesting to combine these two very different motifs.、I tried to reason。I am also conscious of the large contrast between left and right.。
