Died (alas!) on this day in 1693, in Amsterdam, Nicolaes Maes. Marvelous painter of daily life and portraits. Here by himself in 1685, as a famous old dude.

Lovely scene from the Tacuinum sanitatis from the 1440s showing a common household, they're making cheese and a poor person (no shoes, holes in hose) is tasting it.
Lovely big but angry looking dog.
Oh look, shock horror... COLOURFUL CLOTHES.
Take note Hollywood.

Reconstruction of the 17th century lady whose skeleton was found in Pień (Poland) with the blade of a sickle over her neck.
Someone seem to have been worried she'd come back to life.
O.D. Nilsson made her look normal, not weird, scary or mysterious as others might have.

Who owns the £10 bn Royal Collection of art - 550 Leonardo drawings, Fabergé eggs, Monet paintings - and why is the inventory of it - showing which items are theirs personally and which are ours - kept secret? bit.ly/4prvApl
Who really owns the £10bn treasure in the Royal Collection?
The world’s largest private art collection includes Da Vincis and a £1.5 billion diamond but its full contents and who benefits from them remains a mystery

A new werewolf film is currently being recorded and there are some set photos... are we taking bets on this film having the blue filter, it's never sunny and pretty much everything and everyone is constantly being covered in muck?

History has taught us, relentlessly, over centuries, that extraordinary resources, in both material and moral terms, can be marshalled to fight *other people*. Our challenge is to imagine such a mobilisation to fight our own mistakes. Because they are killing us.
