(1503-45)
Art Institute of Chicago 🎨

#ArtHistory #AnimalsInArt #MuseumArchive #ArtMuseum #ReligiousStudies #Christianity #catholicism #religion

Rectangular triptych with a large panel at center depicting the Virgin holding baby Jesus and surrounded by six female saints, their names inscribed in their halos. The left small panel depicts a female saint with a small lamb on a leash, and the right panel has a full-sized female saint surrounded by smaller (adult) women, i.e. her devotees. Together the panels form a continuous scene of all of the aforementioned women gathered in a field or garden with a fence and birds in the background.

Mary Cassatt
Girl Arranging her Hair (1886)
National Gallery of Art, #WashingtonDC

#ArtHistory #MuseumArchive #glam #ArtMuseum #ModernArt

From the museum plaque: This young woman sits at her dressing table arranging her hair. She is looking at herself in a mirror just outside the frame. Cassatt is referencing a popular tradition in European painting: male artists depicting women dressing or undressing.
These works show erotic fantasies of women in private spaces. By contrast, Cassatt's sitter is enjoying a peaceful moment of self-regard. Her ruddy complexion, large teeth, and recessed chin do not match beauty ideals of the time.
The carefully drawn pose and richly painted white shirt are set against fantastic pink, red, and mauve wallpaper. They signal the care Cassatt took with this portrait, among the most accomplished in her career.
