We’ve spent this weekend celebrating America’s 250th anniversary with fireworks and food and patriotic flags, but what is it, exactly, that we are celebrating?   As we know, America is not two hundred and fifty years old. It is older than any historical record, and its first nations of Indigenous peoples developed governments and defined the civic duties of their citizens well before Spanish, English, and French explorers ever set foot on...]]></description><link>https://www.whiskeyrosehistory.com/post/a-bold-declaration-of-ideals-for-all</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a51067f4edfc4e4ec44dae7</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2026 15:12:33 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e66ba6_7ca867cda14a48c3a857344e7e044bb7~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>ashleymingus1</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Painter's Corner: The Birth of Beauty]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Birth of Venus , Alexandre Cabanel, 1863.

She is Venus, the ideal woman. She slowly awakens, seeming to stretch out upon the waves that slowly move her to shore, as putti , or cherubs, herald her arrival with music and celebratory gestures. Cabanel’s painting for the Paris...]]></description><link>https://www.whiskeyrosehistory.com/post/painter-s-corner-the-birth-of-beauty</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b45101d7b18f7389d1f977</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 Mar 2026 18:25:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e66ba6_a6b886aa4da14603a8fd76c72c4b85ed~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_727,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>ashleymingus1</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[St. Joseph's Home for Artisans: A Journey of Patronage and Personal Revelation]]></title><description><![CDATA[Michelangelo’s Pieta . Bernini’s St. Theresa in Ecstasy . The colonnade of St. Peter’s Square. These are a few of the most iconic examples of the Catholic Church’s rich history of patronage of the arts in service of the divine. Seen as not only beneficial but necessary for worship, artwork continues to be a cornerstone of Catholic ritual.

Paleolithic Painting as an Act of Early Survival ]]></title><description><![CDATA[What do the painted bison of Altamira and their fellows teach us about early humans? Photo from Wikimedia Commons (Daniel Villafruela). Over thirty-thousand years ago, the first humans figured out that they needed a few essential things to survive life on this harsh planet. Most are self evident: a semi-dependable source of food and water, shelter from the elements, including the warmth of fire, and a tribe in which to move and protect one another. But at this time in history, in our species'...]]></description><link>https://www.whiskeyrosehistory.com/post/fire-shelter-and-art-paleolithic-painting-as-an-act-of-early-survival</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68a3519606dc3c0f759172d5</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2026 02:48:02 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e66ba6_0f0e44389c184a54ab07ebcff094b626~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_640,h_427,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>ashleymingus1</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith and Transformation: The Baptismal Font of Trinity United Methodist Church ]]></title><description><![CDATA[At the corner of 18th and Broadway, one of downtown Denver’s most bustling hubs, it might be easy to overlook, amongst all the glass...]]></description><link>https://www.whiskeyrosehistory.com/post/faith-and-transformation-the-baptismal-font-of-trinity-united-methodist-church</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68a3519606dc3c0f759172d4</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Mar 2025 17:48:37 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e66ba6_61c5483f1dd643ce86d9da9ae0513b26~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_432,h_624,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>ashleymingus1</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Artist Spotlight: Kristina Maldonado Bad Hand - Part II]]></title><description><![CDATA[Reclaiming Nativeness in the Realm of Nerdom Read Part I here .
