By Claude Monet (1840-1926), Tulip fields in Holland, 1886, oil on canvas, 65.5x81.5 cm, Musée d'Orsay. #arthistory #painting #oilpainting #impressionism
From the website Claude Monet Giverny: ‘April 17, 1886.The baron d’Estournelles de Constant, secretary of the French Embassy at La Haye sent Claude Monet a missive inviting him to come to paint in Holland: “Holland, between Haarlem and La Haye starts to be covered in hyacinths and tulips fields […]. As far as the eye can see, there are multi-coloured, sparkling expanses, resembling different coloured lights in the sunshine, or pastel hues. […] And yesterday, while observing these multi-coloured expanses, I thought you would do marvellous work here and it would be a crime to not let you know. […] The reds and whites of tulips are spectacular. Hurry up…”’

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🧵🪡 The nearly 70 m (230 ft) #BayeuxTapestry is an embroidered #linen cloth ending abruptly with the death of King Harold at the Battle of #Hastings, leaving scholars to wonder if a final coronation panel was lost.
Ahead of its #London debut, organizers launched a #competition asking #children to stitch their own hopeful ending. Winning classes earn a trip to see the #artifact and visit the #battlefield.

#Art between flights. At Gate A40, #Brussels Airport offers a glimpse into the Flemish Masters tradition. It’s wonderful to see that art can turn even a transit space into an encounter with history, culture and imagination. The airport invite us to travel across places and the paintings, across centuries of ideas, stories and ways of seeing.

'when I do see these reproductions attracting media attention, it strikes me as soft diplomacy for AI, showcasing a “cultured” application of the technology at a time when skepticism of its deceptions, biases and abuses is on the rise'

By Giuseppe De Nittis (1846-1884), The Orange Kimono, ca. 1878, oil on canvas, 42 x 31 cm, private collection. #arthistory #painting #oilpainting
Information about the artist, from The Phillips Collection: “Although not well known outside of Italy, De Nittis is a central figure to the aesthetic and institutional upheavals of 1870s Paris. His urban scenes of Paris feature innovative arrangements and plein air subjects painted with a detailed realism that depicts a sophisticated and economically booming city—a choice unique to De Nittis’s work.”
And from C.R. Shelidon: “When Japan participated for the first time in the Universal Exhibition of 1867, Paris and the whole world were flooded by a sort of fever for Japan: artists, writers, critics, and the public developed a hunger for these new forms and shapes, this aesthetical approach that was so pleasant and yet so modern.
De Nittis himself tried his hand at Japanizing subjects from 1869 onwards, introducing into his interiors oriental elements such as screens, etchings or kimonos.“

📍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.

Night, Near Midnight
This Geranium Lake Properties comic was considered for the sixth day of the Eleven Monsters Holiday but it did not quite fit our criteria for the Red Beast theme. It was red enough, but it was not impeccably beastly. This panel was originally part of a series Yost made to illustrate the Thirty-Fifth Anniversary Edition of Six Tales from the Glorious Assemblage of Haberdashers by Abby Ashier Chertsey. The third tale in that book ("The Rust-Stained Jug") is about a man named Mike Frick, aka the King of Millers. Mike is neither a king nor a miller; he inherited his title from his father, who was also not a king nor a miller. Mike comes from a long line of men who were known as the Kings of the Mills, yet none of them were kings and not one of them was a miller. Yost borrowed this character with Chertsey's permission, and put Mike Frick the King of Millers into a short story titled "The Fine and Deadly Difference between Zossiyan and Znayossion Yogurts". […]
