Do you know about Open Access and Open Content programs?

Several major museums make selections of images available for download and use.

We're using an OA image to illustrate our post!

Hi! I’m a psychiatrist at Harvard and a clinical researcher with MAPS/Lykos building the evidence base for MDMA and psychedelic-assisted therapy, and training the next generation of psychedelic clinicians. I develop psychedelic curricula and teach residents about cross-cultural psychiatry. /

I am so thrilled to have been part of Emma Rutherford’s research team to reidentify this stunning portrait as Princess Mary, the future Queen Mary I. Displayed at Compton Verney, we argue that it was painted by Susannah Horenbout in c.1546 and is a rare example of her work. #Tudor #ArtHistory #MaryI
A newly identified portrait of Princess Mary, later Queen Mary I. Mary is wearing a black court gown with an embroidered, upturned collar. She has a black French hood, and a very distinctive cross set with five diamonds. Mary was gifted this cross in 1546 by her father, King Henry VII.

Pictured: Carta Ejecutoria de Hidalguía, 1675, by #LuisaValdés; private collection
An illumination of a saint (Joseph?) holding baby Jesus, opposite another saint (Francis of Assisi?) in a brown robe, holding a crucifix in his right hand and cradling a human skull in his left hand. Both saints stand on clouds. The depiction is surrounded by a thick elaborate border with floral designs, cherubs, and portrait busts of saints.

Hi! I'm a historian of gender, art, and the politics of artistic expression. My first book, A Revolution on Canvas: The Rise of Women Artists in Britain and France (@yalebooks.bsky.social), came out in 2022. I'm now writing a broader look into #WomenArtists across time (Doubleday/US, Viking/UK). /
