Pierre-Auguste Renoir - Blonde Bather, La baigneuse blonde (1881)

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French; 25 February 1841 – 3 December 1919, age 78) was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. It has been said that, as a celebrator of beauty and especially feminine sensuality, "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau."

Blonde Bather (La baigneuse blonde) is the name of two very similar paintings by French painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created in 1881 and 1882. The model was Aline Charigot, later to become Renoir's wife. Influenced by Renaissance painting (particularly Raphael's frescoes) that Renoir saw in Italy in 1881, both paintings show a marked change of style from Renoir's previous work. Some commentators consider these are works of great beauty while others find them vulgar. There has been criticism of the conservation work performed on the 1881 painting.

Artist: Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Year: 1882. Medium: oil on canvas.

Dimensions: 90 cm × 63 cm (35 in × 25 in).

Location. Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli, Turin, Italia.

The didgeridoo (/ˌdɪdʒəriˈduː/ ; also spelt didjeridu, among other variants) is a wind instrument, played with vibrating lips to produce a continuous drone while using a special breathing technique called circular breathing. The didgeridoo was developed by Aboriginal peoples of northern Australia at least 1,000 years ago, and is now in use around the world, though still most strongly associated with Indigenous Australian music. In the Yolŋu languages of the indigenous people of northeast Arnhem Land the name for the instrument is the yi aki, sometimes more recently also called mandapul. In the Bininj Kunwok language of West Arnhem Land it is known as mako (pronounced, and sometimes spelt, as mago).
