And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Jusepe de Ribera, The Sense of Touch, 1632. Oil on canvas, 125 x 98 cm. Museo del Prado, Madrid
Impressive detail. Oh so important in any really good painting such as still lifes and landscapes. Well done on the shadows, also.
