  13. A belated #cat for #Caturday and an early #snail for a #SlowSunday : Cat in a snail shell from the Book of Hours, Use of Maastricht (‘The Maastricht Hours’), Stowe MS 17 f.185 Netherlands, S. (Liège), 1st quarter 14th c. British Library collection #CatsInArt #MedievalManuscripts #MedievalMarginalia

  14. One of the Swinging Sylvesters of the Sixties, BALLAS is fondly remembered by cartists, cart critics and catdom generally - this larger than life, cigar-smoking, brandy-quoffing cartist left his pawmark on the cartworld with his ebullient colours and deliberate poke at the conventions of the past (& of course his parties) - while remaining hugely popular, both during his lifetime and after his passing.

    Happy #caturday !

  15. Another cartist from the annals of Catdom - this time, Anatole de Queue, one of the early Surrealists, regarded as seminal by some, as a lunakit by others.

    Happy #caturday !

  16. Some fun with Brueghelesque cartist Pieter van Whiskaer, in his cat-famous painting 'Kats Drinkend Tee', ca 1540s (Year of the Strudelbat), featured here with his self portrait (right).

    Not a great deal is known of van Whiskaer's early years, although it is believed he was taken on as apprentice by one of the Breughels.
