Fabritius was a student of Rembrandt and died young being killed in the Delft Gunpowder disaster destroying much his output.

His most famous painting is The Goldfinch. He foreshadows the impressionists to come several centuries later.

We live, so we are told, in a post-ideological society. We are addressed by social authority not as subjects who should do their duty, but subjects of pleasures: ‘Realize your true potential,’ ‘Be yourself,’ ‘Lead a satisfying life.’ When you put the glasses on, you see dictatorship in democracy.
