Encore une image extraordinaire du JWST. Des galaxies à perte de vue, certaines, en avant-plan, déviant la lumière de celles derrière, lumière qui a voyagé pendant des milliards d'années avant d'apparaître tranquillou bilou sur votre téléphone !
Image Description: A massive galaxy cluster, made of many golden elliptical galaxies with the largest, brightest one in the centre. Heavily distorted orange galaxies appear all around the cluster, the largest concentrated in a large arc around the cluster's centre; these are images of very distant galaxies, created by gravitational lensing. A few galaxies are large and bluish-white in colour; bright, nearby stars are the same colour.

Bridges were New York’s emblems before the skyline came to define the city. In Queensborough Bridge (1913), Hopper turned steel into a horizon as he studied how infrastructure shapes urban feeling.

The Portrait of Hermine Gallia (1904) marks Klimt's shift away from shock value and toward the perfection of the "dream-state." By blurring the lines between the floor and the atmosphere, Klimt places Hermine in a liminal space between reality and dreamworld.

Sometimes Monet planted his art before he painted it. At Giverny, he redesigned nature like a canvas—diverting rivers, planting lilies, bamboo, and willows. “My finest masterpiece,” he said, “is my garden.”

Two little quail chicks carved on a limestone plaque over 2,000 years ago. Look closely to see a third chick sketched in ink! From Egypt, Late Period–Ptolemaic Period, 400–30 BC. 📷 Met Museum www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti... #ReliefWednesday #Archaeology
The Met Museum photo shows a byff-coloured limestone plaque with two carved quail chicks and a sketch of a third quail chick in black ink. It is displayed against a grey background. 

Traces of ink occur on both carved chicks suggesting the limestone plaque shows three stages of an ancient Egyptian artisan’s work; the ink sketch at top left, the finished chick at upper right, and the almost finished chick at bottom left. Limestone plaque dimensions: H. 15 x W. 13.8 x D. 0.9 cm

Gustav Klimt's "Church in Unterach on the Attersee" captures the serene landscape of an Austrian lakeside village with vibrant colors and intricate patterns characteristic of his style. The painting reflects Klimt's departure from portraiture during his summer stays in the Salzkammergut, where he embraced the natural beauty of the region.
