Behold the exquisite *Kammavacha* manuscript from Burma, where divine nats and intricate designs merge, illustrating the rich spiritual tapestry of Buddhist ordination. How do you think such artistry enhances our understanding of religious practices?

Your art history post for today: by Jean-François Millet (French, 1814–1875), Woman Sewing by Lamplight (1870-1872), oil on canvas, 39 5/8 x 32 1/4 in. (100.6 x 81.9 cm), The Frick Collection, New York. #arthistory #painting #oilpainting

From the museum: ‘It has been suggested that Millet’s many scenes of peasant women and their families working by lamplight were inspired by his fondness for Latin bucolic poetry, especially certain lines from Virgil’s Georgics. Similar treatments by Rembrandt and other Dutch painters may also have influenced his choice of themes, but ultimately this picture relates most closely to what the artist was witnessing in his own home, as he wrote to a friend the year the canvas was completed: “I write this, today, November 6th at 9 o’clock in the evening. Everyone is at work around me, sewing, and darning stockings. The table is covered with bits of cloth and balls of yarn. I watch from time to time the effects produced on all this by the light of the lamp. Those who work around me at the table are my wife and grown-up daughters.”’

Avant de partir ou pour vos vacances, vous lirez bien un petit billet sur une chercheuse qui cherche, qui cherche...mais ne trouve pas !

L'enquête sur l'une des verrières de la cathédrale de Quimper m'a menée loin, (jusqu'au Lot !) - et ce n'est pas fini.
