I know, I "borrowed" the title from James Joyce. It's not Joyce in this picture, though, and I see 2 artists in these pictures, in fact.
First of all, I see a young Claude Monet, a brilliant artist who made this world a more beautiful place by the lovely paintings he created.
And secondly, I see Richard Armitage. Or actually, I don't see him at all, and the way he manages to make himself disappear into the characters he plays is exactly what makes him a brilliant artist in his own right.
The pictures show Richard Armitage as the young Claude Monet in the BBC's The Impressionists, a series in 3 parts from 2006. I am again obliged to www.richardarmitagenet.com for the screencaps from the series. Oh, and did you know that www.richardarmitagenet.com now also has a Facebook page?

What's a
birthday without a birthday present? But what do you get the man who's living
his dream?
