  2. Love that complicated braided hair, and what a gown! By Paris Bordone (1500-1571), Portrait of a Woman, ca. 1545, oil on canvas, 100.9 × 82.5 cm, National Gallery, London. #arthistory #art #painting #oilpainting #renaissance #renaissanceart

    From the website: “A young woman, wearing a crimson robe and pearl necklace from which a gold cross is suspended, stands in an imaginary architectural setting. An opening into what appears to be a brightly lit courtyard reveals a precarious, twisting flight of stairs. A man in a dark costume stands at the top, apparently watching the woman below.

    The inscription above the lady’s right shoulder says she is 19 years old. However, her untucked translucent shawl, sideways glance and bold hand on her hip suggest she might not have been as demure as her cross implies. She may have been a beautiful courtesan.”

    The picture was possibly made to hang to the left of a painting of a young man, maybe the lady’s betrothed or her lover. This would explain her sidelong glance and the light falling from the right, which is very unusual in Bordone’s work.

  3. Waves carve jagged white paths through ink-black sea, swallowing chariots whole. Titian’s woodcut frames divine retribution as a collision of human chaos and elemental force—where does the horizon dissolve into myth?

  4. On Saturday we performed Renaissance theatrical art in Columbus. On Sunday we went to view Renaissance painted art in Columbus!

    After our performance of "Arlecchino, Emperor on the Moon", one of our Players of the Patchwork suggested we attend a talk at the Columbus Museum of Art the following day on the restoration of "Hercules and Omphale" by the amazing 17th Century painter Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the few recognized woman masters of the art for the period.

    The story of the painting is also fascinating, previously unknown to the world at large until being damaged in the 2020 Beirut explosion but being restore after years of dedicated effort by the Getty Museum.

    We've explored works by Gentileschi and other artists for inspiration in commedia dell'arte!

  5. One of the arts in my cube. Makes me smile daily. Picked up this print at a convention (likely PAX, ECCC, SakuraCon, or GeekGirlCon, I don't recall which) around 2018. It's a good art.

  6. Went to the Boston WordPress meetup yesterday. Was inspired by the visuals in the presentation, particularly this renaissance art of moon phases.

    Deep dive produced this wonderfully informative read:

  7. The engraving "Geometria" masterfully embodies the harmony of intellectual pursuits and divine inspiration. A pregnant figure gracefully draws geometric forms in the sky, elevating the liberal arts to celestial heights. How do you interpret this blend of knowledge and femininity?

  8. The exquisite "Medallion: Coronation of the Virgin" showcases the vibrant craftsmanship of Renaissance enameling. Its rich colors and symbolism offer a glimpse into medieval spirituality. What emotions does this artwork evoke for you?

  9. Titian's "The Submersion of Pharaoh's Army in the Red Sea" masterfully blends divine intervention and human struggle. The swirling sea and dynamic sky draw us into this monumental narrative. What emotions does this dramatic scene evoke in you?
