This lovely impressionist piece is titles, "Women in a Garden:, and is an earlier work of Claude Monet, dating from approx 1866-67. Currently held by the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. It was picked because someone requested something more "cheerful". Also, because it reminds me of springtime (which it will be soon).
As for the quote of the week, I will use one suggested to me, on the value on Classical Studies:
"Can anyone be so indifferent or idle as not to care to know by what means and under what kind of polity almost the whole inhabited world was conquered and brought under the dominion of the single city of Rome, and that too within a period of not quite fifty-three years?" -Polybius
