Hello, I'm Coryphantha, and I've been a Wikipedia editor since May 2018. My main area of interests are American and Latino actors and actresses and the movies they appeared in, specifically the golden age of cinema. They don't make 'em like they used to. I'm also interested in early American comedy TV, laughter is the spice of life. I'm also a big Jack Benny fan, who had a huge influence on modern American comedy, and is the reason I still tell people I'm 39.

Buster Keaton was the original stunt guy, handsome in his own way, and brilliant at planning and producing his own stunts with minimal injuries. If you have time, check out his movie The General and be sure to watch it to the end.

I've created 18 articles in main space, my favorite among them is Queta Lavat, and Raquel Pankowsky as a close second. Ten articles is pretty good, even for a fairly new editor, but I'm certainly not done by a long shot. The future is still an empty slate, dotted with many a new article.

My ideal romantic date would be a dinner at an authentic Mexican restaurant, where my date keeps slipping the Mariachi band twenty dollar bills, so they'll keep playing his requests at our table, the first of which would be Si Nos Dejan.

The Abduction of Europa
The Abduction of Europa is a 1632 oil-on-panel painting by Rembrandt. One of his rare mythological works, it was inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, part of which tells the tale of Zeus's seduction and capture of Europa. The painting shows a coastal scene with Europa being carried away in rough waters by Zeus in the form of a bull while her friends remain on shore with expressions of horror. The use of an ancient myth to impart a contemporary thought and his portrayal of the scene using the High Baroque style are two strong aspects of the work. It was also influenced by Titian's painting of the same subject 70 years earlier, although there are significant differences; Rembrandt's painting is less violent in nature than Titian's. The Abduction of Europa is now in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum in New York City.Painting credit: Rembrandt
