POPSChristians Mourn Hizbollah Murder Shehadeh, 45, was open to rival theological thought as he always carried a card with a Koranic verse on one side and a picture of the Virgin Mary and Jesus on the other.

POPSMargaret Lemon, Anthony van Dyck's model
Van Dyck's early portraits of Margaret show a flirtatious young woman with a brilliant complexion, dark brown hair, and brown eyes. His fascination with her is attested to by the number of times he chose to paint her. The Van Dyck paintings for which she modelled are many and varied and include mythological subjects, such as Cupid and Psyche and a lost portrait of Margaret as Flora, which survives in a preparatory sketch , as well as religious works, including two Lamentations (Alte Pinakothek, Munich; Royal Museum of Arts, Antwerp), for which Margaret served as model for the Virgin Mary. Her impact on Van Dyck's art can be measured both by the length of time she acted as his model and by the number of paintings for which she is known to have posed. Twelve of these paintings, either originals or contemporary copies, survive, including five portraits. No other seventeenth-century woman without substantive ties to the aristocracy was painted as often.
