Checked out some of her other paintings on wiki. Amazing stuff. I never knew. Apparently, her style changed over the years, and the softness/precision/blending (example below) looks as if oil-based pencils were used; no, they werenât.

A little dust never hurt anyoneâunless, perhaps, youâre trying to date a Vermeer.
Conservation work on Young Woman Seated at a Virginal, the only Vermeer still in private hands, has uncovered a layer of 17th-century air pollution between layers of paint that helped date the rare Old Master picture, according to The Art Newspaper.
Specifically, feldspar particlesâbyproducts of the booming Delftware ceramics industry in Vermeerâs hometownâwere trapped in the composition, likely after it was first set aside. Their presence suggests Vermeer returned to the canvas years later to add the yellow shawl draped over the sitterâs bodice. That final touch may make Young Woman Seated at a Virginal, his last painting. âŠ

Undated photograph of expatriate Spanish surrealist Maruja Mallo.
Malloâs Espantapajaros (Scarecrows) (1930)
The canvas was bought by surrealist fĂŒhrer AndrĂ© Breton, who, despite being, to put it mildly, no great supporter of women artists, reportedly declared it one of the great works of surrealism

The risks of glancing rather than looking and thinking â although either interpretation is viable. Turnerâs Slave Ship suffered from a different issue, viewers enjoying the aesthetic while missing the horror (looking at it online or in books doesnât really help either, IRL it is more obvious and dramatic).

⊠Some experts remain skeptical of the Caravaggio attribution. Italian art historian Mina Gregori has suggested that Judith and Holofernes could be a work by Artemisia Gentileschi. Gianni Papi, a Caravaggio expert at the University of Florence, considers it to be a second copy of Caravaggioâs original by Louis Finson. âŠ

It is a less grand example of tradition and modernity interacting in a painting, but I have always been fond of perhaps the weirdest painting by German genre painter Spitzweg:

It doesnât look like a Caravaggio to me. The poses seem too awkward. The three figures donât feel integrated.
Just my impression.

Belle and Sebastian include Christian messages in their music? I hadnât noticed, but now I will be listening out for it. I really only like one of their albums so Iâm not much of an expert.
