How a Hubble Image Goes from Photons to Finished Beauty
How does raw data from the Hubble Space Telescope end up to become a finished gorgeous color image, like the one of Arp 274, above? It's an interesting process, because the cameras on Hubble do not take color pictures.

Ginevra the cat (2013) -Parmigianino (1524)
Speaking of Parmigianino (whew, quite the effort to spell that one correctly), here is something by him that is easy to love, especially if you can't get on board with his other works (though I just say give it time, it all just might grow on you). This is his self-portrait in a convex mirror. It's a painting that captures the young artist right as he's coming into his own career-wise, as well as in regards to his artistic style.
The year 1524 marks his move to Rome, where the exposure to different artists both young (Giulio Romano! Rosso Fiorentino!) and old/dead (Michelangelo and Raphael) end up shaping his interpretation of the Mannerist style. Stokstad describes this style as being "calm but strangely unsettling," which is something that I can definitely agree with.
Regardless, here we see a young man on the cusp of the beginning of all things. He is staring us down, looking directly at us as a challenge… it's almost as if he's daring us to notice him and take note of his talent. Which, after seeing his paintings—and even more so, his drawings— is pretty hard not to do.
