🎌🖼️ Apparently, the world has been eagerly awaiting the ability to upload blurry smartphone photos of Japanese woodblock prints to a magical #database that claims it can find anything. Because obviously, everyone’s weekend project involves deciphering 18th-century art via the sheer computational brilliance of an internet search engine. 😂🔍

Elsa Karlström’s outfit from 1709 is so high on my wishlist that I have the fabrics needed in my stash. She’s my 8th great-grandmother, and was born in 1668, the daughter of a wealthy ironmaster, who was eventually enobled. Painted by Johann Heinrich Wedekind.

In 2018, the “Hermitage Amsterdam” hosted ‘Classic Beauties’, an exhibition on neoclassicism. Featuring over 60 works by 25 leading artists, it explored the influence of antiquity on 18th-century art. 😍

Until 2022 it hosted exhibitions featuring art from the “Hermitage” in Saint Petersburg but eventually, the ties with Russia were severed, due to the Russian aggression in Ukraine. By fall 2023, the museum was renamed to “H’ART Museum” ♥️ 🇺🇦 🕊️
