🌋 “It is desirable for a painter, at least once in his life, to witness the Eruption of a Volcano.” —Pierre-Henri-Valenciennes, 1799

Early plein-air painters risked it all to practice their skills, including painting active volcanoes. See more examples in #PaintingTruetoNature.

Charles Ethan Porter was one of the few early African American artists known to have specialized in still-life paintings. “Peonies in a Vase" (1885) is void of any other objects—Porter chose to focus on the beauty of the flowers. #BlackHistoryMonth

“Raphael and His Circle” also includes 9 drawings by his closest collaborators and followers. Together, they show the collective nature of Raphael’s later activity and his influence on the next generation of Italian art. #Raphael500
