Happy All Saints’ Day to everyone! A rare phenomenon happens every nineteenth year. That is a “blue moon” (a second full moon in a month) on Halloween. That has happened yesterday, and previously in 2001. The next occasion will be 2039. The moon is not really blue. I didn’t see the moon last night – it was too cloudy – so I didn’t take a photo. No matter, there are lots of famous pictures of nights with a moon and stars. Picasso (1939) painted “Night Fishing at Antibes” – you can see a full moon in the sky. It’s not blue! Forty years before that (more or less) is Rousseau’s painting “The Sleeping Gypsy” – another full moon. And Turner’s “Fishermen at Sea” was a century previously. And two centuries before that we find "The Flight into Egypt" (by Elsheimer).
