#WinslowHomer (1836-1910) painted this astonishing #watercolour “The #GulfStream” in 1899. His paintings often investigate the relationship between humans and the #NaturalWorld. In the light of the #ClimateEmergency, they are perhaps more relevant than ever. Look at those massive #sharks!!!!

Since almost everything has seemed this week to be declining and falling, it seems high time to share one of the strangest paintings at the Harvard Art Museum: Charles Bird King’s 1830 “The Vanity of the Artist’s Dream.” I am also motivated by my hope that @dbellingradt might be persuaded to do one of his paper spotting analyses on this image.
