Ultimatum: if you don’t have 2/3 of these then I’m going in a blocking spree this weekend. Too many fake accounts, awful men and frauds on here to risk it now. If you can’t be bothered to add a photo and a bio you aren’t serious about using this site anyway.

Opening of the conference The Commerce and Circulation of Decorative Arts, 1792–1914: Auctions, Dealers, Collectors, and Museums, by Camille Mestdagh and Diana Davies, in the beautiful Musée des Beaux Arts in Lyon #arthistory#artmarket

Anyway, really perfect setting to see a couple of architecture manuals and copy books!

Austere beauty of the entrance to the Cabinet de la Milleraye, at the Bibliothèque de l’Arsenal, Paris. This place has been a library since the #18c , so you can imagine the decades of ushed silence within these walls…

On a serious note. We increasingly hear in art history about the value of computer vision to identify & classify images that remain uncatalogued. This error is a silly one & just the tip of the iceberg. If we pursue this route all we guarantee is a mess humans will have to clean up down the line.

How's that AI-driven translation and image-classification working out for everyone these days? Cool, Cool. (*For those who need an explanation: the technical term for this form of facade sculpture is "tympanum," which is close enough to the scientific term for eardrum, that this happened).

Nice thread for early modern art historians and #skystorians ! File 🗃️

Hello early modern art folks following me. In your honor here's a very short thing about the gendering of street poverty in European artworks to 1800. This is Jacopo Bassano's "Lazarus and Rich Man", c.1550.

Here's a starter pack for those interested in medieval and early modern #art#medievalsky#earlymodern#histsci#skystorians#arthistorygo.bsky.app/PtdynT4

Thank you for including me! So kind! Here’s more early modern (bad) art and doodles in margins as a warning: this is my thing if you follow me!
