It's odd how the culture you grow up with can make you blind to others. I've always called the onion, carrot, and celery base in many dishes, "sofrito", as I grew up surrounded by Italian families. Today I learned my sister-in-law calls it "mirepoix", as she studied French and French cooking

One example is Trophime Bigot’s “Angel Watching Over the Dead Christ.” A French artist, Bigot is known as the “Candlelight Master” due to his skillful use of light and expert dramatization of scenes. This scene perfectly illustrates Bigot’s ability to illuminate figures with the flame of a candle. Though he did not produce many paintings during his lifetime, the works he did complete are powerful and evoke intense emotion.
