In James E Allen’s ‘Corythosaurus’ (1938), two dinosaurs are depicted next to a lake. The image is from a group of six lithographs of prehistoric monsters commissioned by Sinclair Refining Company. #FossilFriday #Dinosaurs #Fossils
Today's #FolkloreThursday ties in with #NationalPetsMonth, so here's William Blake's depiction of Cerberus, the hound of Hades. The offspring of Echidna and Typhon, he guards the gates of the Underworld to stop the dead from leaving. @FolkloreThurs #myth #mythology #dogs #pets
Knight regularly visited the @AMNH. Here, he caught the attention of Dr. Jacob Wortman, who asked him to create an image of Elotherium (now Entelodon). This is the result. #FossilFriday
Brilliant to see the collections at Towner Art Gallery in Eastbourne showcased on the Great British Art Tour! They've selected Tirzah Garwood's 'Hornet with Wild Rose'. More here: https://t.co/bCJ09kMbiz #Sussex #Eastbourne #artwork
Very sad to hear of the passing of artist Victor Ambrus. Like many others, I enjoyed watching him bring the past to life on Time Team. #RIP #HillfortsWednesday #TimeTeam #archaeology
This week’s #FossilFriday coincides with Charles Darwin’s birthday! He was born #OTD in 1809. Augustus Earle depicted Darwin in the below caricature, which shows the naturalist surrounded by #fossils on the deck of HMS Beagle at Bahía Blanca, #Argentina. #CharlesDarwin #DarwinDay
Earlier I shared Richard Dadd's 'The Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke' for #FolkloreThursday. Here's another one of his #fairy paintings, 'Come unto These Yellow Sands' (1842). It's included in this article on @Artsy: https://t.co/0kKKKjsVZ1 #folklore #fairies @FolkloreThurs
Imagine being able to paint every part of a living thing in incredible, microscopic detail, with every flick of a brush bringing the vibrancy of a petal to life? @kewgardens explores the importance of botanical art, here: https://t.co/KVPU3VCl1e #botany #horticulture #scicomm
For #FossilFriday, here’s Barbara Jones’ ‘Life-size models of Jurrasic reptiles in the grounds of the Crystal Palace, Sydenham’ (1942). Part of the Recording Britain series, the painting is just one of many that was designed to foster a sense of national unity in wartime. #fossil
