Did you know, it's super easy, using ChatGPT-4, to link the names in this #WIkidarta #Sparql Query to provenance texts from museums?
I don't know how many people (#arthistorians #datascience nerds #provenance Researchers #AI or #semanticweb people) might be interested in this, but if you are, give me a shout out.
It's crazy powerful and pretty easy.
I tested the method on paintings in the #Harvard #Art #museums Results not bad at all.

Visiting #Rijksmuseum, marvelling at "Fabrieksmeisjes in een regenbui" by Alexander Ver Huell. Each brush stroke adds life to the factory girls under the rain. Thoughts on their story?

Any #ArtHistory folks know much about the history of color #gradients in art/painting?
There's a very short wikipedia entry on "gradiation (art)," but I don't know where to look to learn more.
In my experience, #painting a really smooth #gradient is a pretty tough process without digital tools. Was it thought of as a skillful act? Do I uniquely find it hard? Did it depend on scale?

#ArtHistorians, please tell me what you know about gradients! 🙇🏼

Th'usband and I have received a pair of #paintings of #coastal scenes by an #artist called #Vass. They might be of the #NorthWales #coast but we're not sure. They were in Mr'icks's grandparents'house in #Prestatyn. Any #ArtLovers #ArtDetectives #ArtCurators #ArtHistorians who might know who Vass is, we'd be glad to know more.
