πΌ5 October 1951. Happy 70th (!!!) Birthday π₯³πΎ to Bob Geldolf, born Robert Fredrick Zenon Geldof in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland. Maybe better known as political activist than as a musician, he will be forever remembered as the creator of Band Aid and Live Aid in the 1980s, the first studio recordings and live events which gathered the most famous music artists for charity causes.
Ah, apparently #BobGeldof never liked Mondaysπ

π¨βπ¨5 October 1712. Francesco Guardi, one of the most famous Venetian painters was born in Venice.
Francesco Lazzaro Guardi was a nobleman and a member of the Venetian School. He is considered to be among the last practitioners of the classic Venetian school of painting.
He is famous for his "vedute" (views) but differently from those of his contemporary and much more famous #Canaletto which are like a proper photography, his #VeniceViews are evanescent and almost unreal.
It looks like the paintings of #Guardi met the music of his contemporary #Vivaldi: Venice at the peak of its magic!
Not many works of #FrancescoGuardi are held in Venice, the most famous ones are exhibited in other Italian and international museums: like the 3 in the above picturesβοΈ which are visitable in Modena Galleria Estense, Paris Louvre, Bergamo Accademia Carrara.
His portrait was made by another great Venetian artist, #PietroLonghi and is held inside the Ca' Rezzonico 1700 Museum in Venice.
