Robin Hood of Bohemia ~ Interview with film director Leoš Kastner with reporter Kasia Ogrodnik-Fujcik

The adventures of Robin Hood have fired the imagination of filmmakers since time immemorial. Or, to be precise, since 1938 when they made the first famous film with Errol Flynn. There have been numerous versions of the story retold over the years. Little wonder it has also (and inevitably) made its way into foreign lands. In the Kingdom of Bohemia, upon the death of Přemysl Otakar II on 26…

In the late fall of 1888, artists Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin lived and worked together for two months in Arles, France. Weeks earlier the two exchanged these self-portraits with each other as a gesture toward what they hoped would be a fruitful collaboration:

Vincent van Gogh Self-portrait (as a bonze, a Buddhist monk) dedicated to Paul Gauguin. September 1888. Oil on canvas: 59 × 48 cm (23 × 18 in). Inscribed "à mon ami Paul Gauguin" across the top.

Paul Gauguin Self-portrait (as Jean Valjean from the 1862 novel, Les Misérables) with portrait of Émile Bernard. September 1888. Oil on canvas: 45 × 55 cm (17 × 21 in). Inscribed "à l'ami Vincent" above the signature.

From left: Lord Berners, Bridget Parsons, Lady Diane Abdy, Sir Robert Abdy, Robert Heber-Percy, Alice B Toklas, and Gertrude Stein. Lord Berners was a true English eccentric. He was known for hosting lavish parties and keeping pastel-colored pigeons at Faringdon House, his country home in Oxfordshire. When he died in 1950, he left his entire estate to his lover Robert Heber-Percy who lived there until his death in 1987.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month 2023! 👑

Here's Freddie in all his splendour 💖 It's been a while since I wanted to draw him in his arrow jacket and this was the perfect occasion, also adding some extra colors to represent the rainbow flag! 🏳️‍🌈💜💖💕💜💖💕

Remember that Pride Month is the occasion to LEARN and get informed about what's happening in the world, to actively support LGBTQ+ associations and small businesses, to speak against homotransphobic and racist laws that threaten people because of their orientation, skin color and self-expression. LGBTQ+ lives are always in danger and during Pride month we want our voices to be heard and respected 🙏🏻💕💖

So, if you love Freddie, be always aware that you love a romantic gay Parsi boy who has always seeked stable love and comfort in a time where it was only a mirage for gay men, and always tried to be himself with pride.

If you want to read more reliable sources, infos and quotes about Freddie being gay, with more backlinks in the same posts: here | here | here

Please do not repost my art! Reblogs and comments are welcomed 💖

∗❀𓇣❁introducing you the south bohemian culture❁𓇣❀∗

ok so since noone really cares about south bohemian culture anymore, i'll to try to embrace it here on my blog, at least so that people know it exists. for the ones who don't know, Bohemia is an area in Czechia, that takes up most of the country. in czech, it is called 'Čechy'. now, you might notice the similarity between the words chechia and čechy - yes, my whole country is called after this part of it, even though it contains three regions: Bohemia (Čechy), Moravia (Morava) and Silesia (Slezsko). moravians and silesians take care of their culture pretty well in these trying times, but the bohemians, being the most influenced by the west culture, usually don't. so here's me, the tiniest person on tumblr, trying to do something about it! yay!! ❀first i'd like to say something about the name of this entire region. so according to an old, veery old myth, at first, all the slavic tribes lived in one place, 'v matičce Rusi' (in the mother of all, Russia). But the tribes and families started to lack space for their houses, animals and children, and thus two brothers, Čech and Lech, decided to go search for a new place for them. they went a long, long way, until they came to today's czechia, specifically to the mountain Říp (it actually exists). the forefather Čech climbed on the top of it, he looked around and saw, that they came in their promised land. it had beautiful mountains on the sides and fertile meadows in the middle, miles and miles of dark woods, and it was rich in milk and honey. and when he asked what it should be called, the slavs shouted in excitement that it should be called after the forefather himself. (i love this story a lot<3)

❀next post is going to be about the south bohemian region itself and it's parts! i'm planning on still posting art on this blog, but making it more representing of my slavic culture. i hope someone finds this interesting!

also sorry if i made any english mistakes :)
