Today's blog post is a family sleuthing story for a noblewoman, Rosina von Ems, who enters Thalbach in Bregenz in the early 17th century. What does it mean to arrive from wealth?

blogged today, on a convent sister at Thalbach who becomes Maisterin. She kept a diary, much of which was incorporated into the Convent Chronicle -- and she gives us a lot of details about the world around her. Have a read if you like!

On my recent trip to the City of Bath I saw this painting. It was found in the stores of the Holburne Museum in Bath and was identified as being by the Flemish artist Pieter Brueghel the Younger.
The painting, titled ‘Wedding Dance in the Open Air’ was previously thought to be the work of a copyist or follower, but it has been dated to 1607-14 and is now on permanent display.

First, look at her passion: she's not taking "no" for an answer.
Second, look at those hallucinatory devils. Wow, just wow.
