He scumbles his seascapes until they are suffused with, and nearly veiled by, a pale golden light. ? ? ? ? ? ? The history of "scumble" is blurry, but the word is thought to be related to the verb "scum," an obsolete form of "skim" (meaning "to pass lightly over"). Scumbling, as first perfected by artists such as Titian, involves passing dry, opaque coats of oil paint over a tinted background to create subtle tones and shadows. But although the painting technique dates to the 16th century, use of the word "scumble" is only known to have begun in the late 18th century. The more generalized "smudge" or "smear" sense appeared even later, in the mid-1800s. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Jesters, pipers, jugglers, and drummers followed the lord of misrule into the court for the singing of the carols. ? "Christmas before Victoria was a wild affair, in which the fun was presided over by the Lord of Misrule, and it was full of lewd and naughty pranks?usually strictly for the grown-ups." ? From an article in the Northern Echo, September 20, 2012 ? ? ? ? ? Late in the medieval days of England, the royal court, the houses of noblemen, and many colleges at the universities of Cambridge and Oxford appointed a manager for their Christmas festivities and dubbed him the "lord of misrule" or the "abbot of misrule." The lord of misrule was responsible for arranging all Christmas entertainment, including plays, processions, and feasts. The lord himself usually presided over these affairs with a mock court and received comic homage from the revelers. Scholars believe that the name "lord of misrule" (sometimes capitalized, as in our second example sentence above) was taken from the name of the official who presided over an older New Year's celebration called the "Feast of Fools." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
