The National Gallery of Art Just Discovered That One of Its Four Vermeer Paintings Wasn't Actually Painted by Vermeer | Artnet News

Scientists and historians at the National Gallery of Art have deduced that a painting attributed to Johannes Vermeer, one of four in the museum’s collection, wasn’t painted by the Dutch master after all.

Girl With a Flute (1665/1675), a small study of a figure holding a recorder, was instead likely made by someone who studied under Vermeer or otherwise worked closely with him. The new findings unlock the intriguing possibility that the Golden Age artist—whose Girl With a Pearl Earring and other masterpieces rank among the most famous paintings in the world—may have had an apprentice.

As to who that figure might be, National Gallery officials can only speculate. There’s no record of any students registered with the local painters guild, no notes about friends or family members taking lessons. Nevertheless, the museum is now saying, with 99 percent confidence, that this particular painting was produced by “school of Vermeer.”

“The idea that Vermeer had a studio is not one that a lot of people have really talked about. Because he’s always been thought of as the lone genius,” said Marjorie E. Wieseman, curator and head of the department of northern European paintings at the National Gallery. “We only know of about three dozen paintings by him. So why would he have needed a studio?” ...

... Vermeer also liked to dapple the lips of his subjects with highlights: tiny dots reflecting a color found nearby. The artist who made Girl With a Flute worked closely enough with Vermeer to witness these techniques, but not to master them. “Rather than having a pink highlight on the lip, she’s got, you know, an errant piece of spinach in her teeth,” the curator said.

Girl With a Flute was only ever “cautiously” attributed to Vermeer, according to the museum, so it may not come as a surprise to researchers that it was done by another artist. But the fact that this mystery artist worked alongside Vermeer raises a lot of new questions. While the museum considers this particular case closed, the investigation points to a deeper mystery about how the artist’s studio actually functioned. ...

“Vermeer’s Secrets” is on view at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., from October 8 through January 8, 2022.

Jelly-ve it or not, the lion’s mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) is one of the world’s longest animals. This jumbo-sized jelly trails a “mane” of more than 800 stinging tentacles that are covered in cells with venom that stun prey, including other jellyfish, small crustaceans, and zooplankton. Just how long is the lion’s mane jellyfish? Well, its tentacles can grow more than 100 feet (30 meters) long! In fact, the longest examples of this species—which inhabit the Arctic Ocean—are even longer than the longest known blue whale. Come see a life-size model of one at the Museum’s Hall of Biodiversity!

Reformed Dan but misunderstandings suck

So, Dan has been Reformed for Years at this point. You could go with the Fandom Typical version of just chilling out, or you could go with the AGIT version of the Redemption. Either way, Dan is fully reformed and trying to find his way in the World.

Unfortunately, not everybody knows/believes him.

You know all those Time Traveling Heroes who came back to stop some great catastrophe? That was Dan.

Impulse is fucking terrified of this guy, cause he Grew Up in the Central City Stronghold and saw Phantom tear down the Walls protecting the City in person.

Booster Gold grew up in the Metropolis Stronghold, so while he never really saw Phantom in his timeline he still did know of him. I mean, obviously, he murdered every hero on the planet and subjugated most of the world, but he doesn't have much personal stake in that.

Eobard Thawn hates Phantom. Thawn himself grew up in a world where Phantom killed every Hero in the world, and he was terrified that Phantom would track him down when he tried to become the new Flash. But once he became a Walking Paradox he saw as Time itself changed to erase Phantom from existence, he got really jealous. Why did Time decide Phantom was bad enough to erase, why not him!? He's Evil! He's a Terror on the Timeline! He deserves Clockworks attention dammit!

And then, they discover evidence that Phantom has come back in Time,

So now, any and all Time Travelers are trying to find the guy who single-handedly was the Apocalypse, and want to kill him to save the world. Or out of Jealousy in Thawns case.

Either way, no matter where Dan goes to try and settle down, a bunch of annoying Heroes always find him and attack him, yelling about "Stopping his Plans" and "Saving the Timeline!" And "It should have been me dammit!"

Honestly Thawn is the most annoying one, he just runs in and rants at him about how he is jealous of how much attention Clockwork gave him. Dude, just sdmit your crush already and leave me alone. (I'm not sorry)

if you have lmk what was being shown

#I frequently cry in art museums #back in june I was at a van gogh exhibit and saw the paint ‘first steps’ in person for the first time #and had myself a cry #i saw a bunch of keith haring’s work and cried at the untitled paintings #it’s good to cry in public sometimes #I was going to have this be exclusively about art museums but I’ve also cried in a natural history museum before

FBI takes possession of art exhibit from Orlando Museum of Art – WFTV

The Orlando Museum of Art told Channel 9 that it “complied with a request from the FBI for access to the Heroes and Monsters exhibit.”

Controversy has swirled over the authenticity of the work.

READ: Orlando Museum of Art director defends authenticity of Basquiat paintings

A picture of the back of the painting titled “Crown Face II,” which was done on a FedEx cardboard box, was the focus of an article in the New York Times questioning the authenticity of the art at the museum, saying this type of box was used six years after the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat died. ...

#ICYMI The new episode of Crossroads of Rockland History is now available for streaming!

Link: https://on.soundcloud.com/HdTiU5C5gwQZYeVH6

We learned all about the new exhibitions at the Historical Society of the Nyacks and at the HSRC.

Episode originally aired on Monday, August 15, 2022, 9:30 am, on WRCR

—>Miriam Hoffman was on hand to discuss “Storytellers from Nyack & Nearby,” the current exhibition at the Historical Society of the Nyacks. The exhibit features the work of 14 authors and illustrators of children’s books, including the local authors Berta and Elmer Hader, who wrote the first children’s book by Americans. The exhibit includes fascinating stories about the authors and illustrators, reviews of some of their noteworthy books, and many stunning illustrations. Several of the books are set in Nyack, with scenes from decades ago that are still recognizable. In addition to the Haders, the authors and Illustrators featured in the exhibition are Jon Agee, Barbara Brenner, Carson McCullers, Beth Goff, Helen Hayes, Ben Hecht, Yaroslava Mills, Toni Morrison, Paul Peabody, Elizabeth Sayles, Mindy Warshaw Skolsky, and Michael Witte.

“Storytellers from Nyack & Nearby” will appeal to anyone who loves children’s literature (who doesn’t?) and anyone who is interested in Nyack history. The exhibition will be welcoming visitors through mid-September. The museum is in the Depew House, 50 Piermont Avenue (enter from the Nyack Library parking lot). It is open Saturdays, 1-4 pm. Donations are encouraged.

Please note that a 45-min expanded version of the interviews can be found here: https://on.soundcloud.com/uZBnLBfuXX24ty798

Auxiliary programming has also taken place in conjunction with “Storytellers from Nyack & Nearby.” On May 28, 2022, Nick Norwood, director of the Carson McCullers Center in Columbus, Georgia, shared how McCuller’s book Sweet as a Pickle and Clean as a Pig came about. The recorded webinar is available for viewing at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zjflXSqgF4. For information about future auxiliary programming, visit NyackHistory.org.

*****

—>Susan Deeks spoke about “Uniquely Rockland: Important, Iconic & Oddball Objects” from the HSRC Collection. The collection of the Historical Society of Rockland County comprises thousands of objects that date from the early 18th century to the present. It includes important collections of furnishings original to the family of Jacob Blauvelt, who lived in the historic sandstone and brick farmhouse next door from about 1832 to 1970, as well as objects original to the early farms, industries, and people of Rockland County have donated for more than a century. Each item chosen for this exhibition tells a story about a person or group of people, place, or thing that existed (and may still exist) in Rockland. Text panels in the exhibition are based on the essay “A Brief History of Rockland,” by Thomas F. X. Casey, past County Historian and HSRC President. The exhibition will be open through October 30 at the History Center, 20 Zukor Road, New City. Admission: $5 per person (children 6 and under admitted free).

***

The Historical Society of Rockland County is a nonprofit educational institution and principal repository for original documents and artifacts relating to Rockland County. Its headquarters are a four-acre site featuring a history museum and the 1832 Jacob Blauvelt House in New City, New York.
