]]> The painting The Rest on the Flight into Egypt created by Italian Renaissance master Titian (Tiziano Vecellio), just sold for £17.5 million ($22.3 million) at an auction organized by Christie’s. It is the highest price ever paid for Titian’s work.

The painting measures 18.25 inches by 24.75 inches, which is unusual for the artist, who had a habit of creating large-scale works. It was made in the early 16th century by the 20-year-old Titian and shows infant Jesus Christ, Mary, and Joseph taking a rest during their escape to Egypt after finding out the intention of Herod, King of Judea, to kill Jesus.

The reason why The Rest on the Flight into Egypt was particularly interesting to art collectors is its eventful history. The painting was first documented to be in the possession of a Venetian spice merchant in the 17th century before becoming part of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria’s collection. It was then stolen from Belvedere Palace by French troops in the early 19th century during the Napoleonic Wars.

After several years, the painting made its way back to Vienna and was acquired by John Alexander Thynne, 4th Marquess of Bath. It remained in the possession of Thynne’s descendants until 1995, when it was stolen from a family residence. Art detective Charley Hill recovered the painting in 2002 at a bus stop in London.

]]> Voglio Bene is an “artistic decoration brand” created by French street artist and photographer Benedicte Piccolillo. While the brand covers Piccolillo’s multiple artistic efforts, it is best known for her alternative interventions on old paintings.

Piccolillo had her beginnings as a photographer, working more than 10 years in the field. Over time, she began exploring digital art and was increasingly intrigued by the artistic potential that photo-editing software like Photoshop offers. Parallel to that, she also grew as a street artist.

At one point, Piccolillo decided to combine her love for contemporary art disciplines with her appreciation for the works of classical painters and artists.

With her newfound skills in photo-editing, she began altering the subjects of old art, giving them a more modern and alternative look. This included equipping them with tattoos, piercings, and colorful headwear.

According to Piccolillo, she mostly works on pieces from the Italian and Spanish Renaissance but isn’t strange to art from other eras.

Thanks to its unique take on old art, Voglio Bene quickly started getting recognition from not only art lovers but also notable art institutions. According to Piccolillo, she has been already approached by “French castles and museums” for collaborations.

Parts of Canada have lower gravity⁠ ⁠ The Hudson Bay region and surroundings are missing gravity, according to measurements involving two spacecrafts jointly named GRACE. And the mystery has been solved by two complementary theories. First, a 3 kilometres thick ice sheet used be there until disappearing in between 20,000 and 10,000 years ago. It left an empty indent on the planet, with a lot less mass, that hasn't entirely regrown as crust yet. Secondly, a flowing layer of magma is dragging down the continental plates in this area, decreasing the mass of the region.⁠ ⁠ #factourism #facts #fact #factsdaily #dailyfacts #interestingfacts #instafacts #amazingfact #truefacts #worldfacts #coolfacts #allfacts #factoftheday #factsoflife #funfacts #didyouknow #illo #illustration #illustrators #vectorillustration #drawing #canada?? #canada? #gravity #weightlessness #astrophysics #geology #geologyrocks

An octopus actually has 6 arms and 2 legs, not 8 legs⁠ ⁠ {Weekend Repost}⁠ Next time you meet an octopus and wonder about its limbs, remember that it does not have eight legs, neither does it have eight arms (or eight tentacles for that matter, as they are technically not those either). It has two legs, used for moving around, and six arms, used principally for feeding. It is also ambidextrous, not favouring any left or right arms, but it does prefer using its third arms from the front when it can.⁠ ⁠ Source (short url): factourism.com/source/octopus-arms⁠ ⁠ #factourism #facts #fact #factsdaily #dailyfacts #interestingfacts #instafacts #amazingfact #truefacts #worldfacts #coolfacts #allfacts #factoftheday #factsoflife #funfacts #didyouknow #illo #illustration #illustrators #vectorillustration #drawing #octopus #octopus? #octopusart #octopuslove #marinebiology #marinebiologyshots #marinebiologylife #animalfact #zoology

In the age of the dinosaurs, a day lasted no more than 23 hours⁠ ⁠ The Earth has been little by little slowing down, and was rotating far faster in its beginnings. The gravitational forces exerted by the Moon, however, is acting like a brake. As a consequence, the days are getting about two milliseconds longer each century. During the Mesozoic era, when dinosaurs lived, the days would have been in between 21 hours and 23 hours.⁠ ⁠ Source (short url): factourism.com/source/dinosaur-time ⁠ ⁠ #factourism #facts #fact #factsdaily #dailyfacts #interestingfacts #instafacts #amazingfact #truefacts #worldfacts #coolfacts #allfacts #factoftheday #factsoflife #funfacts #didyouknow #illo #illustration #illustrators #vectorillustration #drawing #dinosaursofinstagram #ilovedinosaurs #dinosaursarecool #dinos #dinosaurart #mesozoic

]]> Frank Page is an illustrator, graphic designer and cartoonist based in Central New York who creates a hilarious comic of a squirrel named Bob. How did he come up with the idea for his project, you might wonder? Well, he just looked out the window.

“What I saw would invariably change my life for better or for worse,” the artist shared on his personal website. “What I saw was a squirrel—kinda like when Bruce Wayne was trying to decide on what he should be and that pesky little bat came flying through his window. “I called him Bob; thus inspiring the comic panel BOB THE SQUIRREL.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FRThGhw7W/

In one of his series, Page imagined famous historical figures as squirrels. He named his project History Bob. Gloria Steinem, Frida Kahlo, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, etc. they have all received a squirrel shape.

]]> Bernadette Banner has a very unique professional title: she describes herself as a “dress detective”. Her job is pretty incredible – she recreates historical clothing from antique patterns.

Bernadettes always had two great passions: history and fashion design. Luckily for her, she lives exactly where those to passions can grow into careers – New York City.

The young historian/designer started her way as an assistant costume designer on Broadway. Slowly, she realized that designing clothes for Broadway shows wasn’t really cutting it – she wanted to make historically accurate clothing, with no modern zippers and Velcro. She left her job and joined a fashion history program and learned about fashion history. She applied her new knowledge to reproduce 18th and 19th-century dresses, based off of real patterns from the era. One day she uploaded a video of her work process on YouTube and immediately gained a massive following of fellow fashion and history lovers.

Today, Bernadette works as a research consultant ad illustrator as well as a fashion historian. She shares her designs on Instagram and explains her process on her YouTube channel, along with interesting facts about old-timey fashion.

Love your curves, they say. (All 35 degrees!) . June is Scoliosis Awareness Month, so I suppose I ought to jump on the body positivity train for a moment. Skeletal deformity hurts a lot; it requires a lot of maintenance and attention and precaution; but it’s also a constant self-inflicted war between hating every (visible) bone in your body and realizing that, without this thing that is so intrinsically part of (literally) shaping who you are, you wouldn’t be the you that other people have come to love. As anyone who has struggled with self-image will understand, it’s an ongoing battle that isn’t really won—but it’s one that, when dutifully fought, only makes us stronger. Regardless of size, symmetry, color, ability—you are beautiful. We are all beautiful. ? #bentnotbroken . #scoliosis #scoliosisawarenessmonth #loveyourcurves #lumbarcurve #lumbarlordosis

Hello friends Old and New! Merry meet to those who have recently stumbled upon my small corner of the Internets. I am still very much learning about this Instagramming business but am most pleased that you’ve decided to ponder along on this adventure with me. There shall be lots more pretty frocks, yes, and nice little doodles, of course; but there shall also be a good deal of general screaming about how flipPinG exciting it is to uncover the past, to go on thrilling time travelling adventures and to mingle in the pleasant company of ghosts. (That is what historians do, no?) . All of my historical creations are done using strictly period appropriate methods (as far as my own and the general available knowledge permits), and thus my process is slow. But it is my mission to take you along on these journeys, through trials and experiments and inevitable errors, in the hopes that we can learn some cool stuff together. And all this through a pretty lens, because this is Instagram, after all. . If you’re new round here, (or, hey, even if you’ve been kicking around for a while), might you please take a moment to introduce yourself? I don’t much like the idea of faceless numbers. ? . Dress made by me, a present-day interpretation of 18th century silhouettes.

From 2008’s Iron Man, which helped kick off the entire thing, to 2019’s Spiderman: Far From Home, which recently made it past the $1 billion mark, the MCU is full of memorable films.

So, what better way is there to pay homage to such an iconic franchise than by splicing it with history’s most famous artworks?

Cyprus-based visual Designer, Hayati Evren, decided to bring to life something that most people hadn’t thought of before and created MCU-inspired artwork that combines the faces of the MCU with that of historical paintings.

As you might have guessed it, the works are as much masterpieces as they are hilarious conversation-starters.

You definitely would want to have these paintings hanging somewhere around your house.

Secondly, a flowing layer of magma is dragging down the continental plates in this area, decreasing the mass of the region.⁠ ⁠ #factourism #facts #fact #factsdaily #dailyfacts #interestingfacts #instafacts #amazingfact #truefacts #worldfacts #coolfacts #allfacts #factoftheday #factsoflife #funfacts #didyouknow #illo #illustration #illustrators #vectorillustration #drawing #canada?? #canada? #gravity #weightlessness #astrophysics #geology #geologyrocks

An octopus actually has 6 arms and 2 legs, not 8 legs⁠ ⁠ {Weekend Repost}⁠ Next time you meet an octopus and wonder about its limbs, remember that it does not have eight legs, neither does it have eight arms (or eight tentacles for that matter, as they are technically not those either). It has two legs, used for moving around, and six arms, used principally for feeding. It is also ambidextrous, not favouring any left or right arms, but it does prefer using its third arms from the front when it can.⁠ ⁠ Source (short url): factourism.com/source/octopus-arms⁠ ⁠ #factourism #facts #fact #factsdaily #dailyfacts #interestingfacts #instafacts #amazingfact #truefacts #worldfacts #coolfacts #allfacts #factoftheday #factsoflife #funfacts #didyouknow #illo #illustration #illustrators #vectorillustration #drawing #octopus #octopus? #octopusart #octopuslove #marinebiology #marinebiologyshots #marinebiologylife #animalfact #zoology

In the age of the dinosaurs, a day lasted no more than 23 hours⁠ ⁠ The Earth has been little by little slowing down, and was rotating far faster in its beginnings. The gravitational forces exerted by the Moon, however, is acting like a brake. As a consequence, the days are getting about two milliseconds longer each century. During the Mesozoic era, when dinosaurs lived, the days would have been in between 21 hours and 23 hours.⁠ ⁠ Source (short url): factourism.com/source/dinosaur-time ⁠ ⁠ #factourism #facts #fact #factsdaily #dailyfacts #interestingfacts #instafacts #amazingfact #truefacts #worldfacts #coolfacts #allfacts #factoftheday #factsoflife #funfacts #didyouknow #illo #illustration #illustrators #vectorillustration #drawing #dinosaursofinstagram #ilovedinosaurs #dinosaursarecool #dinos #dinosaurart #mesozoic

]]> Frank Page is an illustrator, graphic designer and cartoonist based in Central New York who creates a hilarious comic of a squirrel named Bob. How did he come up with the idea for his project, you might wonder? Well, he just looked out the window.

“What I saw would invariably change my life for better or for worse,” the artist shared on his personal website. “What I saw was a squirrel—kinda like when Bruce Wayne was trying to decide on what he should be and that pesky little bat came flying through his window. “I called him Bob; thus inspiring the comic panel BOB THE SQUIRREL.”

In one of his series, Page imagined famous historical figures as squirrels. He named his project History Bob. Gloria Steinem, Frida Kahlo, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, etc. they have all received a squirrel shape.

]]> Bernadette Banner has a very unique professional title: she describes herself as a “dress detective”. Her job is pretty incredible – she recreates historical clothing from antique patterns.

Bernadettes always had two great passions: history and fashion design. Luckily for her, she lives exactly where those to passions can grow into careers – New York City.

The young historian/designer started her way as an assistant costume designer on Broadway. Slowly, she realized that designing clothes for Broadway shows wasn’t really cutting it – she wanted to make historically accurate clothing, with no modern zippers and Velcro. She left her job and joined a fashion history program and learned about fashion history. She applied her new knowledge to reproduce 18th and 19th-century dresses, based off of real patterns from the era. One day she uploaded a video of her work process on YouTube and immediately gained a massive following of fellow fashion and history lovers.

Today, Bernadette works as a research consultant ad illustrator as well as a fashion historian. She shares her designs on Instagram and explains her process on her YouTube channel, along with interesting facts about old-timey fashion.

Love your curves, they say. (All 35 degrees!) . June is Scoliosis Awareness Month, so I suppose I ought to jump on the body positivity train for a moment. Skeletal deformity hurts a lot; it requires a lot of maintenance and attention and precaution; but it’s also a constant self-inflicted war between hating every (visible) bone in your body and realizing that, without this thing that is so intrinsically part of (literally) shaping who you are, you wouldn’t be the you that other people have come to love. As anyone who has struggled with self-image will understand, it’s an ongoing battle that isn’t really won—but it’s one that, when dutifully fought, only makes us stronger. Regardless of size, symmetry, color, ability—you are beautiful. We are all beautiful. ? #bentnotbroken . #scoliosis #scoliosisawarenessmonth #loveyourcurves #lumbarcurve #lumbarlordosis

Hello friends Old and New! Merry meet to those who have recently stumbled upon my small corner of the Internets. I am still very much learning about this Instagramming business but am most pleased that you’ve decided to ponder along on this adventure with me. There shall be lots more pretty frocks, yes, and nice little doodles, of course; but there shall also be a good deal of general screaming about how flipPinG exciting it is to uncover the past, to go on thrilling time travelling adventures and to mingle in the pleasant company of ghosts. (That is what historians do, no?) . All of my historical creations are done using strictly period appropriate methods (as far as my own and the general available knowledge permits), and thus my process is slow. But it is my mission to take you along on these journeys, through trials and experiments and inevitable errors, in the hopes that we can learn some cool stuff together. And all this through a pretty lens, because this is Instagram, after all. . If you’re new round here, (or, hey, even if you’ve been kicking around for a while), might you please take a moment to introduce yourself? I don’t much like the idea of faceless numbers. ? . Dress made by me, a present-day interpretation of 18th century silhouettes.

]]> The Marvel Cinematic Universe, or MCU, will go down in history as one of the most iconic universes to ever grace theaters.

From 2008’s Iron Man, which helped kick off the entire thing, to 2019’s Spiderman: Far From Home, which recently made it past the $1 billion mark, the MCU is full of memorable films.

So, what better way is there to pay homage to such an iconic franchise than by splicing it with history’s most famous artworks?

Cyprus-based visual Designer, Hayati Evren, decided to bring to life something that most people hadn’t thought of before and created MCU-inspired artwork that combines the faces of the MCU with that of historical paintings.

As you might have guessed it, the works are as much masterpieces as they are hilarious conversation-starters.

You definitely would want to have these paintings hanging somewhere around your house.
