Charger with a qilin, anonymous, c. 1350
This charger is painted with a qilin, a mythical beast. According to legend, a qilin has the scaly skin of a dragon, the body of a deer and the hooves and tail of an ox. It is a benign creature, which refrains from stepping on insects or eating live grass. The qilin possesses both male (qi) and female (lin) powers.

Gallant Company, Pieter Codde, 1633
Why is this company so merry? This painting depicts several of life’s pleasures. On the left, a singing woman plays the lute. The objects on the table and the pearl earring belonging to the woman in the middle both allude to luxury. The toiletries on the
table, including a mirror, likely allude to vanity. The bed and the two gentlemen entering with a hare and a partridge are a nod to another kind of pleasure: ‘chasing the hare’ and ‘birding’ were euphemisms for making love.

A sanctuary in the wasteland. 🏜️🌿

This powerful image presents a stark contrast: a thriving ecosystem preserved under glass against a barren, cracked desert. Is this a hopeful vision of human ingenuity shielding life, or a somber warning of a world where nature only survives in captivity?

Would you choose to live in this manufactured Eden?
