Did I just say, no cats on the puzzle? I did. Does she care? Not a bit.

He am puzzled. Honestly, it’s Jeeves. He is always puzzled, for he is a bear of very little brain.

Revenge from beyond the grave! 👻 Katsushika Hokusai's The Phantom of Kohada Koheiji (c.1831) depicts a murdered man returning to haunt his killers. Part of his legendary One Hundred Ghost Stories series, this ukiyo-e masterpiece proves Hokusai was so much more than just The Great Wave. 💀🎨

Japanese woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai titled The Phantom of Kohada Koheiji circa 1831, depicting a ghostly skeletal figure with decaying flesh and wispy hair peering through crimson mosquito netting with claw-like hands, set against a dark teal background, part of the ukiyo-e artist's Hyaku Monogatari One Hundred Ghost Stories series

Meet the original art world satirist. 🐵 Shibata Zeshin's 1835 masterpiece "Monkey Posing as a Collector" shows a fashionably draped monkey scrutinising collectibles with a magnifying glass, a cheeky 19th-century commentary on connoisseurship that still resonates today. 🎨 #ArtHistory #FineArt

🌊 Hokusai's "Kajikazawa in Kai Province" remains one of art history's most captivating masterpieces. The fisherman's curved pose deliberately mirrors the rolling waves and rocky contours, creating visual harmony that influenced countless Impressionist masters decades later. 🖼️ #FineArt #ArtHistory

Hokusai's Kajikazawa in Kai Province woodblock print showing a fisherman in traditional dress casting multiple fishing lines from a green rocky promontory into dramatic blue waves of the Fuji River, with Mount Fuji's iconic triangular silhouette rising peacefully in the background under a pale sky, demonstrating the master's use of Prussian blue pigment and bokashi gradation technique

🌊 Monet's "The Green Wave" (c. 1866-67) captures the raw power of the Normandy coast with revolutionary technique. This early masterpiece bridges Romantic drama with emerging Impressionism. 🎨 Critics noted strong Manet influences in its bold composition and high horizon line. #ArtHistory #FineArt
