This adorable lapdog in portrait of Isabel de Medici by painter Allesandro Allori @museofranzmayer

@ykomska As a pick-me-up, how about this 1999 screenprint entitled "Play" by Jacob Lawrence, whose birthday is today...?
Or Jacob Lawrence...and countless others? This devotion to the idea that art exists only in a rarefied realm, divorced from social & political realities, is one of the most detrimental myths inculcated by mainstream modernism. Shocking that some still cling to it so fervently
@AndrewRusseth Or how about this- I'll let you have "Jubilee" when it comes up for auction. Agreed?
@SThomas82126835 @metmuseum @JesseMLocker @arh279 @Luciferloo @PhyllisASears One final follow-up for all those who added to the thread: I just found another still-life by the marquise, and lo & behold it shows a (mother?) bird feeding her young. Perhaps the mother & child fly motif isn't such a far-fetched hypothesis after all? And with that, we're done!
