A dress for a diva with a gorgeously pearl encrusted costume made in the #1880s for the Spanish Italian opera singer Adelina Patti. It was created by Parisian firm Morin Blossier, a team of sisters designing costume and couture for many famous clients #V_and_A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Bodice detail of an 1880s cream satin stage costume embellished with pearls and diamanté. It has a vaguely Tudor aesthetic in additional trimmings and style Full length view of the 1880s cream satin stage costume showing a silhouette rotted in its decade but with various decorations that lend itself to a possible Tudor setting A black and white photograph of the opera singer Adelina Patti seated in a chair wearing a tailored silk day dress and bonnet

Learning ancient languages is fun. It’s always like: “We don’t know what the second person plural pronoun was, but here are 50 words for “kill.””

A true rarity, this bronze goose was discovered in the ruins of Constantinople’s famed luxurious hippodrome. It has a pipe in its beak, so it was probably part of a fountain, providing water to the 100,000 spectators who could fit into the circus stands. 🏺 1/

Roman, 4th c. CE. #BritishMuseum

Bronze figure of a goose with a dark patina, perhaps from a fountain. The neck section is removable and there is a pipe in the beak. The feathers are all delineated by engraving - it’s highly detailed. The webbed feet are missing. British Museum, London (1859,0601.1)

Vittorio Matteo Corcos, Sogni (Dreams), 1896 (Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Rome). A portrait of Elena Vecchi, daughter of the writer Augusto Vecchi, a friend of the artist. A sensation at the time for candid and direct portrayal of a modern, independent young woman. #arthistory #ottocento
"Corcos not only portrays the young woman with great naturalness and adherence to reality, but also makes her assume a very unusual pose, which denotes confidence with the painter and which aims to strike the observer. The girl is sitting with extreme ease on a bench, on which she has placed her wide-brimmed straw hat, three books and her walking umbrella. Resting her head on her hand, she looks straight into the observer's eyes, with confidence. Her legs are crossed, in a position that, at the time, was not considered decorous." https://www.finestresullarte.info/operadelgiorno/2017/644-vittorio-corcos-sogni.php

This little #Roman silver statuette of a shepherd is displayed incorrectly at the #BritishMuseum (1st pic). Because when he's turned, you can see that he's carrying an adorable smiling lamb in a skin bag slung over his shoulder. 😍 🏺 1/

Probably 1st c. CE.

Silver statuette of a young shepherd - with apparently some worn gilding, given the golden sheen on his short cloak (which the museum doesn't mention) - facing forward, carrying an open skin bag in the crook of his left arm, and something slung over his shoulder. He's clean-shaven, with full short hair combed forward ('Caesar-style'), and wearing open toed boots. He's standing contrapposto, all his weight on his left leg, while his right foot, slightly back, is lifting - he's obviously walking towards us. British Museum (1867,0508.764) A photo taken a few years ago, when the statuette was turned to the right, allowing us to see that the shepherd has another skin bag slung over his shoulder, in which a cute smiling lamb is taking a ride, its front hooves hanging over the front edge of the bag.

The great Buddha at Tennō-ji next to the Yanaka cemetery, Tokyo.

This bronze sculpture was made in 1690. You can't really see the size here, but the sitting figure has the height of a (tall) grown man. It is generally referred to as Tennō-ji Daibutsu (天王寺大仏: The great Buddha at the Tennō temple).
Face of a bronze Buddha statue with closed eyes and a serene facial expression, surrounded by tree branches and leaves.
