«She's so pale...»

«Hmmm... bet it's not because of an insufficient iron status...»
What would a Doctor ( @caterina ) and a Nurse ( @frappa77 ) discuss otherwise?
Guercino - Death of Dido - 1631

[David]

I've got goosebumps just hearing her singing that famous lament: "When I am laid in earth" Most of the onlookers appear sympathetic! Fav

[Helen Jane]

looks like there is nothing can be done - she is on her way out.

[Caterina]

What a joy Domenico! I finally made it inside a painting thanks to you! A real celebration for my anniversary as a member of 365! FAV!!!

[summerfield]

well, if they only gave her more blankets to cover up, maybe she'd have recovered. and yet, she's still alive and the pyre is already prepared. lament! lament!

[Call me Joe]

💕💖💕

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent as always

[Allison Williams]

It appears that the visitors are right inside the painting. Great shot.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@yrhenwr thank you, Sir! Much appreciated.
@helenhall a sad sad story, Dido’s story!
@caterina 😊it’s been a joy to share this! A belated happy first 365!
@summerfield if you read Vergiliu’s verses telling her suicide you would mot believe to a possibility for her to recover...
@joemuli 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@graemestevens thanks a lot !
@allie912 that was the purpose, indeed. Thank you a lot!

[Marnie]

Maybe they need a second opinion? A sad picture, but another excellent piece of your artwork.

[Taffy]

Captured the photographer of the scene really well. So surprising to see the technologies available way back then!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@golftragic thank you very much. The picture is indeed tragic and the verses in the poem by Virgilio - the Aeneid - where Dido’s death is described are heartbreaking!
@taffy a very advanced society, Carthage, whatever may be said! 😉

[Marnie]

@domenicododaro I'm afraid my education in the classics leaves a lot to be desired.

[Richard Sayer]

You could end up being world famous for these!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@golftragic never mind. Life is a wonderful trip also without the classics.
@vignouse oh, too kind of you,Richard! If I only ended on the PP sometimes it could be more than sufficient! 😂😂😂

[CC Folk]

Haha! She needs a spray tan...quick!

[Marnie]

@domenicododaro :)

[Domenico Dodaro]

@gardenfolk Hahaha!

[Marloes]

Great, how you've made the two ladies look a part of the painting. Fav

[Marloes]

Love your narrative too!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@stimuloog thank you! It’s fun, isn’t it?

[Junko Y]

And there you are, @caterina ! Looking so natural within a painting . . .

[Francesca Ciarrocchi]

You have done it! Simply perfect Domenico! Fav fav fav!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@frappa77 This wasn't easy with the light halos on the painting, Thanks to you for modeling, though inadvertently! ;)

[Domenico Dodaro]

@jyokota Thank you, my friend
