@gianamar97 1/12 This paper situates the #Jesuit Lafitau’s (1681-1746) “discovery” of Canadian #ginseng (1717) in its social, commercial, & religious contexts & shows how the missionary’s upbringing & education in France shaped how he perceived & Galenised New World nature. #BSHSGlobalHist
Goya (1746-1828) painted El Sueño in about 1800. It has a clear relationship with the Majas. The work is a study of a sleeping woman where his subtle brushwork allows the eye to imagine one can see her breathing. When purchased the Irish media called it pornographic!

As histórias sobre ela eram tão terríveis, que em 1746 proibiram os pais de usar histórias sobre ela pra assustar as crianças.
Ela também é a mãe dos Jolasveinar, 13 trolls que visitam as casas do dia 12 de Dezembro até 6 de Janeiro para aprontar (e ultimamente deixar presentes)

Charles Howard, The 11th Duke of Norfolk (1746-1815) Having once tripped into his fountain whilst drunk, and nearly drowned. He decided the best means of avoiding such a travesty was to have the offending fountain filled in. Truly a man of sound reasoning. 🤣 #gloriousGeorgians
#DYK that Mark Catesby was one of the 1st people to recognise that birds migrated, presenting a #paper 'On birds of passage' @royalsociety in 1746: https://t.co/EZbViUaAUx. Our blog about him will go live next week. Meanwhile here is his passenger pigeon. #WorldMigratoryBirdDay
Q: What’s the weirdest item in your collection? #AskACurator
@DrKarrSchmidt : Hands down, this 1746 collection of anatomical prints. Weird (read: unexpected) for us, anyway. https://t.co/Vcg4GjQ6d9
Partial dissection of a seated woman. Colour mezzotint by J. F. Gautier d'Agoty, 1745/1746.
In 1746 Frederick and Henry competed over a young page Marwitz. The gay brother rivalry went on for at least six months, as Frederick complained in one letter that Henry would not see him or speak to him.
*Back there in the pic is their brother and heir apparent Prince William*

Saturn Devouring His Son (1823) by Francisco Goya (1746-1828). Many possible interpretations, inc. (1) conflict between youth & age (2) merciless of time (3) God's anger (4) the consumption by the state of it's people by wars & revolution. #SpanishArt #Romanticism
