Domenico Zampieri (1581 – 1641), known by the diminutive Domenichino after his shortness, was an Italian Baroque painter of the Bolognese School of painters.

Domenichino was born in Bologna, son of a shoemaker, and there initially studied under Denis Calvaert. After quarreling with Calvaert, he left to work in the Accademia degli Incamminati of the Carracci where, because of his small stature, he was nicknamed Domenichino, meaning "little Domenico" in Italian. He left Bologna for Rome in 1602 and became one of the most talented apprentices to emerge from Annibale Carracci's supervision. As a young artist in Rome he lived with his slightly older Bolognese colleagues Albani and Guido Reni, and worked alongside Lanfranco, who later would become a chief rival.

He died in Naples in 1641 while still working at the Duomo. There were suspicions he had been poisoned by the Spanish painter Jusepe di Ribera, the leading member of a group of three artists known as the Naples Cabal, furious to have been passed over for the Ca****la del Tesoro di San Gennaro commission in favour of an outsider.

Dreamcatcher

Dreams aren't impossible.
What makes it impossible is your unwillingness to take the risk.
Just because chances are too little, you won't anymore give it a try.
Be brave, and fight for that small chance, 'til that probability becomes a reality.
In case a dream you always wanted isn' t really for you, it's not time wasted because that will be your own history of courageness -- a journey not everyone's willing to take.
Be a dreamcatcher not just a dreamer.
Do something worthy each day.
Capture every moment in your heart.
Focus your eyes on the positivity of life.
Help not only yourself, but also others.
Go and catch your dreams as if you are being chased by the unknown dilemmas.

If I Showed You My Teardrops

If I showed you my teardrops,
Would you wipe them with your hands and hug me tight,
Or would you run away like a coward?
Would you come over and bring me foods at night,
Or would you just sleep as if you have nothing to worry about?
Would you tell me that everything's gonna be alright,
Or would you give up and say goodbye?
If I showed you my teardrops,
Would you caress my face just like the old times,
Or would you hold somebody else's hand?
Would you cancel your plans and take me some rides,
Or would you choose your dreams and set me aside?
Would you tell me how an amazing story of us
could end with these teardrops?
Because honestly, this is a tragedy
I'd never want to happen again in my life.
