Now with Israel's attack on Iran, the airports are shut down, and our three remaining 'Madleen' team members, Pascal Maurieras, Yanis Mhamdi, and Marco van Rennes may face an extra month, illegally detained in Israeli prison. Contact their government and demand they protect their citizens.

Perhaps because of the still life genre's low status in the 17th century, it was one of the few forms open for women to demonstrate their talents, which Clara Peeters did, establishing a reputation as a genius painter in a field dominated by men.

Clara Peeters’s Still Lifes Are Even Better Than the Real Thing
In her paintings, the 17th-century Dutch painter captured a pure, crystalline moment of time with unnerving verisimilitude.
