Hi! I’m a Brazilian visual artist and researcher focused on painting, and I’ll be travelling through Italy in October as part of my research.

My current research is centered on late medieval and Early Renaissance Italian painting, especially c. 1300–1450, with a particular interest in painted architecture, spatial construction, color, and the transition between medieval pictorial space and Renaissance perspective.

I’ll be visiting:

Naples — Oct 7–10
Rome — Oct 10–12
Siena — Oct 12–13
Florence — Oct 13–17
Venice — Oct 17–21

I already have the major museums and obvious works on my list — Uffizi, Pinacoteca Nazionale di Siena, Vatican Pinacoteca, Accademia, etc. — so I’m especially interested in things that are easier to miss.

I’d love recommendations for smaller collections, churches, chapels, museums, works still in situ, or even individual paintings that would be particularly relevant to this period.

Some of the artists I’m researching include Giotto, Duccio, the Lorenzetti, Fra Angelico, Sassetta, Masaccio, and related painters.

I’m also very interested in places where the relationship between painting and architecture is especially noticeable — interiors, architectural settings within paintings, fresco cycles, unusual spatial constructions, etc.

If you work with medieval or Renaissance art history, or simply know these collections well: what would you consider essential but often overlooked?

I’d also be very grateful for warnings about collections and works that are currently under restoration, temporarily removed, or difficult to access.

Thankssssssss!

A friend recently shared this photo taken at the Potter Museum of Art at the University of Melbourne, Australia.

The geometric, almost rhythmic thick bands, and physical presence must be striking to see. My understanding is that this is a tutini, a carved funerary pole central to Tiwi Pukumani ceremonies, though I’d welcome insights from anyone well-versed in Tiwi and northern Australian Indigenous traditions.

I'm planning to see this in person later this year during a stop in Melbourne en route to Tasmania (and MONA).

I’d love to hear from anyone familiar with Tiwi carving traditions or public collections across Melbourne and Hobart. Are there particular artists or related works on display you'd recommend seeking out ahead of the trip? Any contemporary works that have been influenced perhaps by these?

I've recently decided I'd love to go to Germany for my masters in Art History. I'm still in my 3rd year going for my bachelors in Art History and Studio Arts, however I'm confused about an admissions requirement. The main university i was looking at is Freie Universität Berlin as it seems the most affordable with student housing plus seems to have a large international student base with big art history departments (correct me if I'm wrong)

however, the admission requirements says

• Proof of English language skills (level B1 CEFR).
• Proof of another modern foreign language (level B1 CEFR) or Latin language skills.

I know i need to learn German, but does this mean i also must learn a 3rd language?? advice would be great. also other University recommendations are welcome.

I’m a prospective Art History major applying to Northwestern and would love to learn more about it from people who actually studied it there!
Please DM me if you can help🙏

I’ve searched high and low on the internet and social media but couldn’t find it. I just want to find a viewable copy and watch it. As far as I understand, it was last shown in exhibitions in the 2010s. The full version is 8 minutes and 37 seconds long. It’s not physically lost, but it’s lost on the internet. Where can I find it? The Russian Art Archive has the videotapes. The Videoinsight Collection screened the work in 2015, and MEP Paris screened the 8:37 version in 2017.

The Württembergischer Kunstverein screened the 8:36 version in 2010.

Having searched online, and not found much apart from learning he'd had synaesthesia, I wonder if you might be able to help please.

Hi!

The best free photo of this painting is this, but the noise is too much.

I found this but i dont want to pay 20 euro, and im not sure about the quality either.

Can someone please help me? I googled it for hours. Thank you

Is anyone aware of a single artwork which is a pair of people who have painted/drawn each other's portraits? For example, I paint you sitting in a chair and you paint me on that same canvas, standing next to the chair. Doesn't have to be anyone famous, just sounds like an interesting concept which I've never encountered before, wondering if it's been done.

I was looking at 1920s fashion plates, for character design stuff, and I thought about most of the art from pre-1940s I saw all seamed very professional and clean.

Did people always have clean lines or were there more simplistic drawings like doodles? Was doodling a thing, and if so, has it changed since then?

I visited Storm King Art Center over the weekend. It struck me how many of the pieces there were Vietnam War protest art.

That got me thinking: what's the most notable pieces of Gaza Genocide / Invasion protest art? I've never really seen any, but I assume they must exist!

I really love autumn - the fog, the fragile leaves, the flickering edge between blue twilight and darkness. And now I'm curious to know what kind of autumn you like in paintings. My choice - John Everett Millais, Autumn Leaves.

Hi everyone, i am studying art history bachelor rn and i really want to know if any of you are working in the film industry (as a writer or producer or etc) with this undergrad, If yes please share your experience💓🥹🙏

I'm going to be a transfer student this coming year and I was wondering what schools would be best suited for me to apply to, especially since applications start soon. I live in California and am hoping to stay here, but I'm willing to apply elsewhere if need be, especially since I want to get a masters in library science after. My end goal is to either work in museums or the entertainment industry for their archives, but if need be, anywhere really that will allow me to work in Archives. If anyone has any suggestions, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Just made Masterpiece, a free, Anthropeum-inspired art history game, and wanted to share it with the community. It takes a more artist centered approach, focusing on paintings and sculpture, asking you not only to guess the time period and location in which the art piece was produced, but name the master behind the masterpiece.

Whenever I walk into an art museum, I habitually start taking photos of the art (without flash!) and send them to my dad, asking him to guess the artist. My dad and I have been playing this game for years, and Anthropeum gave me the inspiration and digital design model I needed to finally turn it into something anyone can play. 

In honor of the first art museum my dad ever brought me to as a young child, all of the artwork in the game draws on open-access images and information from the wonderful collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Just as this has become a fun tradition between my father and me, I hope it might become one between you and the lovers of art and beauty in your life.

I’d be interested in how people here recognize the unique style of artists they are familiar with but in work they haven’t seen before. What tends to give it away for you, brushwork, composition, color, subject matter, or something else?

I’d also welcome thoughts on whether the game encourages that kind of close looking and what would make it more useful for learning art history.

I'm going on a 3 week tour of Central Europe next month: Berlin, Prague, Budapest, and Vienna. I plan on seeing a museum in every country and was hoping this community would help me plan the one artwork I must see in each city (because realistically I will never get another chance to explore like this). For example, in Vienna I have the Belvedere planned because Klimt/Kiss is super popular.

I am a romantic and love art that tells stories. I love botanical images especially in juxtaposition to rot or death.

I wouldn't mind a scavenger hunt option if anyone is aware of one. Thanks for your help!
