The Weeping Woman is a series of paintings by Pablo Picasso, the last of which was created in late 1937. The paintings depict Dora Maar, Picasso's mistress and muse. The Weeping Woman paintings were produced by Picasso in response to the bombing of Guernica in the Spanish Civil War and are closely associated with the iconography in his painting Guernica.

Although unlikely to have been painted outdoors, from nature, this canvas shows how Turner used his rolls of canvas, and how his sketches would have looked before they were separated. The canvas bears three sketches of sea and sky, one of which was painted upside down so that one sky serves for two subjects if the canvas is turned. It is exhibited with two seascapes the right way up.

"They added in a statement that excessive speed remained one of the leading causes of road deaths in Romania."
No shit, Romanian police. What do you expect it you let people off with a £310 fine and four-month ban for doing 120 in a 30 zone. That's attempted murder in my book.

"It is not clear when Tate applied for citizenship for Vanuatu, which does not have a formal extradition arrangement with Romania"

The UK does not have an extradition treaty with that country either

John Everett Millais (English, 1829-1896)
Ophelia
1851-1852
Oil on canvas (76 x 112 cm)
Tate

The painting depicts Ophelia singing while floating in a river just before she drowns. The scene is described in Hamlet in a speech by Queen Gertrude.
The episode depicted is not usually seen onstage, as in Shakespeare's text it exists only in Gertrude's description. Out of her mind with grief, Ophelia has been making garlands of wildflowers. She climbs into a willow tree overhanging a brook to dangle some from its branches, and a bough breaks beneath her. She lies in the water singing songs, as if unaware of her danger ("incapable of her own distress"). Her clothes, trapping air, have allowed her to temporarily stay afloat ("Her clothes spread wide, / And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up."). But eventually, "her garments, heavy with their drink, / Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay" down "to muddy death".
Ophelia's death has been praised as one of the most poetically written death scenes in literature.

Ophelia was modelled by artist and muse Elizabeth Siddall, then 22 years old. Millais had Siddall lie fully clothed in a full bathtub in his studio in London. As it was now winter, he placed oil lamps under the tub to warm the water, but was so intent on his work that he allowed them to go out. As a result, Siddall caught a severe cold, and her father later sent Millais a letter demanding £50 for medical expenses. According to Millais's son, he eventually accepted a lower sum.
