I’ve been delighted to attend the IFA-NYU & Frick Museum Annual Symposium on the History of Art today. Only sad that it had to be virtual. I’m looking forward to attending at the new Frick auditorium next year.
It’s been an all day symposium so I’ve moved to different locations in my house for various presentations. Now: watching from bed. Lol.

The Magnolia Palace by #FionaDavis #HistoricalFiction #BookReview #GildedAge #2022Books #FrickCollection
I love historical fiction that has dual timelines, and #TheMagnolaPalace by #FionaDavis has two timelines: 1920 and 1966, both settled on the house of steel magnate Henry Clay Frick. #HistoricalFiction #BookReview #AudiobookReview #FrickCollection
Eight months since losing her mother in the Spanish flu outbreak of 1919, twenty-one-year-old Lillian Carter’s life has completely fallen apart. For the past six years, under the moniker Angelica, Lillian was one of the most sought-after artists’ models in New York City, with statues based on her figure gracing landmarks from the Plaza Hotel to the Brooklyn Bridge.

Frans Snyders or Frans Snijders (1579-1657) was a Flemish painter of animals, hunting scenes, market scenes and still lifes. He was one of the earliest specialist animaliers and he is credited with initiating a wide variety of new still-life and animal subjects in Antwerp.

For #InternationalBatAppreciationDay:
#LuckyBats spotted at the The Frick Pittsburgh’s Chinese Porcelains exhibition! 🦇
Porcelain vase with enamel decoration, China, Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Period (1723-1735), c. 1730.
#LuckyBats: The center medallion of 2 joined #bats encircled by 7 more is a #rebus, or visual pun - the Chinese word for bat is “fu,” a homophone for the word for "good fortune,” and “nine” is also a homophone for “long-lasting.” It was likely a wedding wish for a happy marriage.

I hated it. It felt like nothing was labeled and so I had no idea what I was looking at. The house was too big – it’s not that I got…
