Laura Foster @fosterlaura.bsky.social · 23/11/2024There’s a bit of irony in being able to see this now, as many other generally easily available works of his are currently in restauro - both S. Luigi dei Francesi and S. Maria de Popolo. 120
Laura Foster @fosterlaura.bsky.social · 23/11/2024I got so lucky. As it happens I was with a group of students at Palazzo Barberini yesterday afternoon and we got to see it just after the press conference. 110

A craftsman from the Nehalem-Tillamook and Clatsop peoples made this arrowhead (in the Tillamook Pioneer Museum) out of Qing dynasty porcelain from the wreck. 533450989

Particularly women, LGBTQ, and Black— everyone who is not a rich white broligarch. 721033
Laura Foster @fosterlaura.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Thinking of a time between c.1490-1525 when painted facades likely dominated the center of Rome. There are just a few scattered examples of this sgraffito left. This on is on via del Moro in Trastevere. 0248

Laura Foster @fosterlaura.bsky.social · 18/10/2024Designed by Antonio Canevari in 1725 to serve as a performance space for poetry. There was once a gallery of portraits of the Arcadians here as well. Many of the portraits are in the Museo di Roma at Palazzo Braschi. The Bosco was heavily reworked in the 19th c. Unclear where the gallery was. 011
