This blog is now archived

Hi all, thank you so much for coming along on this art history journey with me.

However, I have decided to leave tumblr and will no longer be posting.

This blog will still exist though, and will remain as an archive to the hundreds of years of women’s art!

If you wish to keep up with what I am doing elsewhere, you can check out my Instagram, where I hope to continue this project (though at a much slower pace ^^’).

Emma Hamilton (1765–1815) rose from the lowest rank of society to the peak of distinction by marrying, in 1791, Sir William Hamilton, English ambassador to Naples. There she was famous for her “attitudes”—tableaux vivants performed before swooning audiences who felt themselves transported back to antiquity.
