"Moonlight, Study," Fanny Churberg, 1878.
Churberg (1845-92) was a Finnish landscape painter.
The daughter of a doctor and fiercely proud of her Finnish heritage, she began artistic training in 1865 after the deaths of both her parents, and moving in with an aunt, along with her brothers. She was an industrious painter, doing 300 canvases in a 15-year career.
While her style was strictly in the Dusseldorf School (an extension of the Romantic movement, with a focus on meticulously detailed landscapes, often with religious or moral allegory), she did differ from them a slight bit with her short brushstrokes and energetic style. She was passionate about the Finnish landscape and sought to translate such events as an approaching thunderstorm, or moonlight on a cloudy night, as accurately as possible.
She stopped painting in 1880; some say it was her own declining health and the death of her brother Torsten from TB. Others say it was harsh reviews of her work. But she remained involved in the artistic world, encouraging other painters, until her death at 46,
She has been rediscovered in the last 20 years and now is valued for her passionate depictions of turbulent nature.
From the Finnish National Gallery, Helsinki.

Ah, the good ol' days of loving computers 🤖❤️, when nerds were fueled by #floppy #disks and not by Silicon Valley snake oil. Who knew an overgrown calculator could inspire such poetry and profound #nostalgia, while #AI #villains cackle in the background? Clearly, the author missed the memo: the '90s called, they want their #tech #romanticism back! 😂

Celebrating Robert Tannahill (2024)
Dissenting from prevailing notions that label Tannahill as “sweetly sentimental”, Prof Freeman’s lecture positions him as a major poet who expanded the tradition of British “rationalist” pastoralism

Keen blaws the wind o’er er the Braes o’ Gleniffer.
The auld castle’s turrets are cover’d wi’ snaw;
How chang’d frae the time when I met wi’ my lover
Amang the broom bushes by Stanley green shaw…—Robert Tannahill, “The Braes o’ Gleniffer”

I know I should be saying no to things, but I have to clear my tray to some extent and need to finish an article on the corpse and the national tale (yes another one). But this time I'm arguing that the National Tale registers a shift from the Gothic spectacle of the corpse to one tied to social forces of #biopolitics, the shift from #epidemic death to #endemic death. #NationalTale #Romanticism

Really fascinating references to James #Watt and Maria #Edgeworth in #Scott’s preface to The Monastery #ScottishLiterature #Romanticism #c19Studies
-
Finally digging into Robert Mitchell’s outstanding Infectious Liberty and, boy howdy, is it making me think about the way the National Tale helps conceive and produce the concept of population. #biopolitics #NationalTale #Romanticism

Today I'm trying to finish enough of the section on maternal mortality in #Edgeworth's Ennui and Claudia #Johnstone's Clan Albin to make a passable draft for the upcoming workshop #NationalTale #Romanticism #ScottishLiterature #IrishLiterature #MedicalHumanities

After a typically helpful #WIP works-in-progress group, I’m feeling energised about my #Edgeworth and infection chapter. But I’m wondering if any of you #MedicalHumanities folks have a recommendation on the politics of infection in the late #eighteenthcentury #romanticism #IrishStudies

I'll be revising my article on #disability, #illness, and the #Gothic in #Edgeworth's Ennui and #Scott's The Black Dwarf #Romanticism #IrishStudies #MedHums

I have a student who's going through an exceptionally hard time, but just submitted a KICK ASS draft of a final paper looking at the representation of maternal emotions and "failed caretakers" in #Edgeworth's Belinda and #Austen's Persuasion in order to critique the differing responses to the conflation of women and care #Romanticism #MedHums #TeachingToot
