One more for #WorldRatDay :
The Dance of the #Rats, c. 1690
Attributed to Ferdinand van Kessel (1648 – 1696)
Oil on canvas, 41.5 x 47 cm
Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main (#1681) sammlung.staedelmuseum.de/en/work/the-...
“ABOUT THE WORK “When the cat’s away, the mice will play.” This proverb seems to be illustrated by the four comical rats dancing ring-a-ring-o’-roses. The brown shape in the background, which resembles the head of a fish or monster, helps to solve the puzzle. It is the fragment of a carved table base and reveals that the painting was cut out of a larger canvas. Scenes of animals parodying human behaviour are frequently encountered in Flemish painting. In that context, mice and rats are generally associated with vices such as drunkenness and gluttony.”

This place is quickly becoming the art community I hoped it would be. I hope it just continues to grow and grow.
