One thing I particularly like about museums like the Galleria Doria Pamphilij, is the overabundance of detail everywhere: ceilings, odd corners (hello, St. Sebastian!), patterned decorative wall painting & sculptural curtain tie-backs.

Though a common design strategy, I still love it when museums use exhibition objects as clear inspiration for the graphic identity of an exhibition. Here, the newly opened "Feathers: Fashion and the Fight for Wildlife" .

This grisly scene caused a sensation when first exhibited (and made the artist a fortune through selling prints of its design.) It's one of those images that still holds power today in the gallery. Detail, Watson and the Shark, 1778.

A fave gallery in the new presentation of 's permanent collection is this selection of the "Underwood Travel System." 3D glimpses of wondrous places resonate w/ me as a universal pining for the "someplace else."

Even without reading the exhibition label, it's clear from the eyes alone that this is a sketch of a mesmerizing psychic. Table-turning, or Portrait of a Medium, ca. 1906. 🌀🌀

...it's not all drawings though. Many of the paintings are on loan from private collections, so this exhibition is a unique opportunity to experience them. I was immediately captivated by the jovial mug of Docteur Devaraigne, 1917.

This drawing-focused exhibition gives you a great opportunity to see an artist, early in his career, working through different ways of sketching facial details, like the animated of Paul Alexandre (all 1909).

Day 7: Something small, but with a tremendous impact: an early 1900s cervical cap that women could use themselves, finally giving them far-reaching control over reproduction. On view now in the "Hotbed" exhibition. See: https://t.co/UT1WFtFCKw

Lost myself , my 1st visit, spent 5 hrs there, missed lunch, and only left to catch a train. Art exhaustion is real, but it's my fave way to burn. Detail, Pierre-Narcisse Guérin, Clytemnestra Hesitating before Stabbing the Sleeping Agamemnon, ~1817.

I think this is the first time I've seen a work in person! This elaborate sculpture, Ancestral Spirit Chair, 1992, really forefronts aspects from her African American, Irish & Native American heritage.

The Baker & His Wife, 1658, always makes me 😀. I'm particularly amused by the dainty way the wife hold her loaf.
