Erin Maglaque · Never Known Heaven: Caravaggio’s Clothes Clothing, for Caravaggio, worked in the same way as his chiaroscuro, dramatising disclosure and reticence, attraction...

A glimpse of Iran, through the eyes of its artists and journalists Understanding one of the world's oldest civilizations can't be achieved through a single film or book. But recent works of literature, journalism, music and film by Iranians are a powerful starting point.

Florian Schneider probeert het beleid aangepast te krijgen. Hij is een petitie gestart en vervolgens een dialoog aangegaan. Verloopt uiterst moeizaam… maar hij zet dapper door (mensen die petitie hebben ondertekend kunnen de mailwisseling volgen, het stem niet vrolijk).

Paulus Potter’s The Bull in the Mauritshuis, after a brilliant restoration treatment by Abbie Vandivere and Jolijn Schilder

Visited the @mauritshuis.bsky.social today to catch up with a former student who is now doing an internship there and saw Paulus Potter’s The Bull, which was brilliantly restored by Abbie Vandivere and Jolijn Schilder. 😍
