This remarkable floor mosaic of an octopus fighting a lobster, surrounded by a spectacular variety of sea creatures, was found during the excavation of the House of the Dancing Faun, ancient Pompeii’s richest residence (1st century, National Archaeological Museum, Naples)
I never noticed the shape of the woman’s shadow in this poster for Alfred Hitchcock’s film The Birds (Laurent Durieux) barcelonaphotoblog.com/2011/12/catala…
Maybe the world’s oldest known wheel ~ 5,000+ years old, found with axle in boggy soil of Slovenia’s Ljubjana Marshes. Its craftmanship suggests that wheels had been invented much before this. Oak & ash, w/ radius of 70cm (27in), probably used on ox cart. At R, a reconstruction
Like Dürer almost 400 years before him, van Gogh found single blades of grass and weeds to be worthy of our full attention ~ here’s Dürer ‘s Large Piece of Turf (1503) and Van Gogh’s Long Grass with Butterflies (1890)
The massive Rose Window in the south Transept of Chartres Cathedral, with Christ enthroned in Heaven at its centre, dates back to 1224. Over 10.5 metres across (34 ft), it’s just one of more than 170 stained glass windows in the church (photo: PtrQs, Wikimedia Commons)
Caravaggio’s dramatic Death of the Virgin Mary was apparently modelled on a drowned sex worker, with dirty bare feet, who'd solicited near the church where the work was to be hung (c 1605). Oops! It was rejected as unseemly & replaced with the work at R hyperallergic.com/483587/jewelry…
Byzantine-era bracelet of gold openwork studded with gems and pearls, from 6th century AD (photo: Bruce M White, Ferrell Collection) detroitartreview.com/2017/12/
Queen Puabi’s gold and lapis pendants with animal figures, leaves, and fruits (2,500 BC). Found scattered in the Royal Tombs of Ur (present day Iraq) ~ this is a reassembly of the pieces (Penn Museum) penn.museum/blog/museum/pu…
From 1459, Hans Talhoffer’s ingenious but very dubious war inventions ~ spiked wheelbarrow to drive off attackers ■ anti-arrow armoured blankets to enable attackers to sneak up ■ & my fave ~ giant cushions to defend town gates savoirsdhistoire.wordpress.com/2016/01/26/les…
John Atkinson Grimshaw often visited Stapleton Park, near Pontefract, depicting it many times ~ here it is in the autumn sunlight (Stapleton Park, 1881)
From 4,500 years ago ~ gold, silver & lapis lazuli were imported to create this statuette known as ‘Ram in a Thicket’ (actually a goat), standing on its back legs to feed on leaves in a tree. Found in Royal Cemetery at Ur (present day Iraq) penn.museum/collections/ob…
Why not try this? Woodblock artist Utagawa Hiroshige shows how to create 8 shadow figures, from his New Edition of Shadow Making series (1842). He also provided instructions for making the shadows move, like “move the chopsticks up & down” for the snail publicdomainreview.org/product/eight-…
An artistic about-face ~ recent restoration of this portrait, purportedly of Eleanor of Toledo (1570), reveals it was originally a portrait of her daughter Isabella (at R), with the face altered so as to be more pleasing to a 19C art buyer dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2…
Thx to @PunchBooks for reminding me that our recently-tweeted cartoon on the policemen and the suffragette was from Punch and was drawn by Arthur Wallis Mills
Dithering policemen here seem to have suddenly lost their enthusiasm for arresting a small but alarmingly capable suffragette (1910) artinsociety.com/from-the-rokeb…
Art nouveau pendant with a flower and dragonfly in gold, enamel, diamonds and aquamarines (Henri Dubret, c 1900)
The extraordinary mosaic ceiling in the tiny 5C Byzantine Mausoleum of Galla Placida in Ravenna ~ in its World Heritage listing, UNESCO describes the mosaics as exhibiting “supreme artistry”, & “among the best surviving examples” in Europe whc.unesco.org/en/list/788/

@artinsociety Wonderful, isn’t it?
@artinsociety Such a clever picture in so many ways.I could never make out the significance of the lovebirds.Was it because they were in a cage that made the other birds go crazy?Who knows.🤔
@artinsociety Fabulous poster ! The colours/ tones !!
@artinsociety I'm entranced! Absolutely a wonderful find, Philip. Is it marble?
@artinsociety Absolutely beautiful💯 Lost for words
@artinsociety Dureres exquisite detail is exactly like what I see in a grass field.
I remember seeing a big blowout of Durer’s ‘large piece of turf’ at NGADC, something so stilling and calming about the little details-must have been even more so creating it.
Like Dürer almost 400 years before him, van Gogh found single blades of grass and weeds to be worthy of our full attention ~ here’s Dürer ‘s Large Piece of Turf (1503) and Van Gogh’s Long Grass with Butterflies (1890)
Poet: Will this be the day you find a single blade of grass & weeds worthy of your poetry's attention? Or will distractions make you miss that opportunity?
Like Dürer almost 400 years before him, van Gogh found single blades of grass and weeds to be worthy of our full attention ~ here’s Dürer ‘s Large Piece of Turf (1503) and Van Gogh’s Long Grass with Butterflies (1890)
@artinsociety Thank you for posting about Dürer. I think his excellent work is under-appreciated.
@artinsociety What is especially interesting is that almost everything has changed since 1503, except Nature. The grass types and dandelions are the same as those in my Kentish garden in 2024💚
@artinsociety #Dürer believed that “God had endowed artistic people with very special creative powers” and hence it was the artist's duty to stay close to nature, “God's own masterpiece of creation”, and not to venture from it.
