Peter Krøyer's 'Summer Day at Skagen South Beach,' (1884) captures the carefree existence that defined the isolated painting community that flourished in Skagen at the tip of Jutland at the end of the 19thC.

✨I always lose myself in this photo. 📷A moment of serenity: the jaw-dropping Gothic beauty of Salisbury Cathedral, mirrored in the shimmering reflection of William Pye’s font. 📷 #throwbackthursday

when the welsh flag is beyond your artistic capabilities (The Druids Pub, Brighton) All the home nation flags have been drawn. There is no dragon on the welsh flag. instead it has the word "dragon" where a dragon should be.

Chemist Rachel Fuller Brown was born #OTD in 1898. She co-discovered the antifungal nystatin while doing research for the New York State Department of Health, hence the name. (1/2) 🧪 👩‍🔬

Black and white photo of Rachel Fuller Brown. She is older in this photo, with her graying hair pulled back. She wears a white lab coat over black pants and a light colored blouse. She holds a round-bottom flask in each hand and stands in front of a lab bench. There are rows to test tubes, an Erlenmeyer flask, and a microscope on the bench in front of here. There is another bench along the wall behind her, and glass cabinets full of flasks and other equipment on the wall behind her.

Maid flirts with her fellow, cat steals the dinner, housewife escapes boring party upstairs to enjoy the disorder of her own household. Great scene from 1657 by Nicolas Maes, whose day is today.

For a fleeting moment, the clouds perfectly mirrored the peaks of Manaslu (the 8th highest mountain in the world).

A black and white photo of Mount Manaslu framed by a plume of cloud drifting upward, echoing the mountain’s peaks. Light and wind carve a temporary silhouette that hangs for only a heartbeat.

A very good boy! 🐾🐕😍

An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest.

The Met 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo shows a three quarter profile of an ancient Egyptian figurine of a leaping dog facing left. Carved from ivory, now a warm caramel brown colour with glossy surface. The dogs eyes are outlined in black, the ears are floppy, the mouth is slightly ajar (the inside of the mouth is painted red - not sen in my photo). The front and back legs are outstretched as if running at full speed. A lever under the dog’s chest opens and closes the mouth so that the dog looks as if it’s barking. Dimensions: L 18.2 cm × H 6.1 cm × W 3.6 cm. Dated to Late Dynasty I8, I400-I350 BC, reign of Amenhotep III who was Tutankhamun’s grandfather. The dog is mounted on a thin metal rod in a display case. In the background in the same display case is a ‘galloping’ brown horse, which is the handle of an ancient Egyptian fly whisk or light whip.
