I second Waterloo Bridge! Monet’s drifting mists of fog and Constable’s tumultuous sky: (with urns... Richard, urns! A supreme courtly antiquity.😃)

One great interest of his was grisaile paintings. They are designed to look like carved stone & reflect on his interest in antiquity. These include David & Goliath (1490-5), Samson & Goliath (c1500), Judith with Head of Holofernes (1495) & Judgement of Solomon (c1500)

Thread: Andrea Mantegna (c1431-1506), Italian Renaissance painter & antiquarian, died on this day. His work linked modern painting with Roman antiquity. Oculus, Camera degli Sposi (1465-74), Madonna & Child (c1455) & Portrait of a Man (c1470). He is one of my favourite artists

Greece since antiquity always had a special bond with horses and depicted them in our vessels and sculptures at the Parthenon. Were are now the 1st European country that enforced law against any malpractice on them including exportation for slaughtering. We Stand 4 Freedom.🇬🇷 https://t.co/7sXIG01axR

In days of old, when knights were bold, coins were hammered out in a process not unlike printing (except for doing it on metal). A blank was molded, then hammered between two dies. A technique that goes back into antiquity.

Finally got to play with my Good Omens AU, in which antiquity thief Crowley & antique restoration expert Aziraphale cross paths while working jobs involving the same museum, & uncover some very shady business run by head curator Gabriel. Hijinks ensue, much fashion involved ✨

This piece is about combining archaic, primitive, vital art with more modern and minted forms. Everything that is beautiful and polished that we have in our arsenal now goes back to antiquity and angularity.

For evidence of its antiquity we can trace a long enough pedigree through history, mythology, literature and art. It has its name in Sanskrit; it appears in sculptures in Assyria and Egypt; it is mentioned in the Old Testament and in the Odyssey. https://t.co/kSIcFuktGK

Mythical headless men have been rumoured to exist in remote parts of the world since antiquity. These men come in two forms, eyes in the chest and eyes in the shoulders, both lacking heads. They are sometimes referred to as Blemmyes.

🦑Obtuse gaps filled the promontories. Artificial regularities appeared in the curtain of stones, wrought of minds not fettered by the trite constrictions of tri-dimensional thought. The ruins languished in their antiquity, old when the stars were young🦑softyrider62🦑#Lovecraft

In antiquity, fáelad were mercenaries who’d fight for any king- provided they were paid in the flesh of newborns.

The practice has fallen out of favour w/ most modern fáelad, but those who still fight charge pretty steep prices.

(One more Roh for the ROH-D now that I’m done!)
