Detail of Satan Afflicting Job with Sore Boils

From an illuminated manuscript, ca. 12th century.

This drawing captures a winged, chained demon breathing pestilence onto righteous Job, who sits patiently on an ash heap, his entire body covered in symmetric red pustules representing severe boils. Above them, a roundel depicts Prophet Elijah (helIas).

Solar protuberances. Le soleil. 1875.

This image is absolutely epic!

The women were laughing at Toni Morrison who was dancing one the occasion of her Nobel Party hosted by Angelou, 1994. Redmond photographed the event.  (Caption posted by UC reader.)
