Sorry there has been no video this week, I've been on holiday. But here is a bit of #medieval #marginalia from a 14th century manuscript, a medieval copy of Pliny's Natural History on a page discussing potash mining. The rabbit #kaiju is unknown.

Goya published his series of satirical prints, Los Caprichos, in the 1790s. The museum is lucky enough to have his follow-up book, Aún Más Caprichos, published five years later. This page is what we keep on display.

This bas relief from 13th century Angkor Wat in Cambodia shows Godzilla marching with the army of Emperor Jayasmhavarman. Godzilla was considered both an ally to the empire and an avatar of Shiva.

Dr. Tilbrook-Difford presents the unmistakable Godzilla gargoyles of medieval Europe—long accepted by scholars, yet curiously absent from most church tours.

The #Renaissance is out of my area of expertise, but I do want to feature other museum exhibits. Here is one of Breugel the Elder's lesser-known Tower of Babel paintings. #Godzilla #Kaiju #KingKong #Art #ArtHistory #ArtSky #HistorySky #Bible #Comedy #Parody

I didn't have time to show this Illustration from the Gorgonic Chronicle in my YouTube video. Godzilla watching Gorgo swim out to sea for the final time until 1874.

Art history just got radioactive. X-rays reveal Godzilla lurking in a 1430s masterpiece. Coincidence? Not in medieval Flanders. 🧐🦖 #Godzilla #Kaiju #Art #Arthistory #Medieval #MedievalArt #JanVanEyck #MedievalSky #ArtSky #Comedy #Parody

This is the 1403 CE Cronica de iiii Incursionibus Gorgonis, literally the Chronicles of the Four Incursions of Gorgo, but better known as the Gorgonic Chronicle. I'll be talking about it in my upcoming video today or tomorrow. #godzilla #medievalsky #art #history #comedy #parody #kaiju #medieval
