📍A unicum of Attic pottery.
This Attic red-figure chous (Greek: xoυς) (wine jug), attributed to the Eretria Painter (5th century BC), shows a special scene: a man, crowned with an olive wreath, places his child on an aiora during the Aiora ritual associated with the ancient Athenian Anthesteria festival.
National Archaeological Museum, Athens, Greece (Inventory No. ΒΣ 319/VS 319)

Did you know, it's super easy, using ChatGPT-4, to link the names in this #WIkidarta #Sparql Query to provenance texts from museums?
I don't know how many people (#arthistorians #datascience nerds #provenance Researchers #AI or #semanticweb people) might be interested in this, but if you are, give me a shout out.
It's crazy powerful and pretty easy.
I tested the method on paintings in the #Harvard #Art #museums Results not bad at all.

Visiting #Rijksmuseum, marvelling at "Fabrieksmeisjes in een regenbui" by Alexander Ver Huell. Each brush stroke adds life to the factory girls under the rain. Thoughts on their story?

Any #ArtHistory folks know much about the history of color #gradients in art/painting?
There's a very short wikipedia entry on "gradiation (art)," but I don't know where to look to learn more.
In my experience, #painting a really smooth #gradient is a pretty tough process without digital tools. Was it thought of as a skillful act? Do I uniquely find it hard? Did it depend on scale?#ArtHistorians, please tell me what you know about gradients! 🙇🏼

@baroquepawel So, interestingly, Elkins point as I see it (& I do like Elkins books) is that #arthistorians are always looking for new 'puzzles' to solve & so make the work(s) complex in their (very) interpretation;
this, in a sense, intellectualises away a more visceral response (seeing such a response as naive or unthinking); but of course, if we take seriously (which I do) that art is the result of a conversation between #artist & beholder, then there can be no final 'meaning' only meaningS! -
Novel research of the day: Flammability of painted canvasses in the late 1800s. Also, how were they stored (flat or rolled up)?
I am hoping they were quite flammable.
I sent my questions to the local art museum. If any art history experts here have answers, I have questions.#HistoricalFiction

Questions to #histodons #arthistorians. Have you ever tried to get to the buyer / seller of an archival document that has been subject to an #auction? I tried to contact the auction house through the website where I saw an archival document sold for private rather than public use but was never put in touch with the seller. It'd be very interesting to know where the document came from and whether there are others, and possibly to put them to public rather than private use. Any suggestions as to how to approach the auction house effectively? I honestly doubt that they have ever passed my query on to the original seller. Or am i missing the point and should just give up on tracking down the initiator of a private transaction? In case it's relevant: it was a handwritten note by the former #QueenOfHaiti to borrow some money. Date: 1847.

A throwback (tootback?!) to a recent archival hunt in Paris. This is (the copy of) a #1791 #passport issued by the #enslaved insurgents during the #HaitianRevolution. They swore an oath of allegiance to Spain through the Archbishop of #SantoDomingo. The heart with a flame presumably represented the Heart of Mary, but maybe some #arthistorians out there can chime in? I also think that “MDM” may possibly stand for “Maria Dei Mater”, and “MN” for “Mater Nostra”. No certainties, though. The sketch is included in an eye-witness testimony to give the French information on the insurgents.

I've used an excellent list for #historians in the #fediverse, found several #arthistorians and imported the (few) #twitter contacts I have that are already here.
Now, can anyone point me toward a ready-made list of #economists in the #fediverse and those with interests (research or practise) in #KnowledgeExchange, #research and #researchengagement?

That should’ve been #arthistorians / #arthistory!
