Fabulous fragment of an ancient Egyptian wall relief with three bears and an oil jar. The paint has survived some 4,500 years! Limestone relief from the Pyramid Temple of Sahure, Old Kingdom, 5th Dynasty, c. 2496-2483 BC. Neues Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #ReliefWednesday #Archaeology
My photo shows a circa 4,500-year-old limestone relief with some well-preserved paint in places, from the funerary temple of Sahure at Abusir, measuring 39 × 35 × 8.5 cm. It shows three bears (partial view only) and a tall one-handled pottery vessel, across two registers. The upper register at left, shows the two leds and hindquarters of a bear, and at right, a bear’s lowered head, chest, and foreleg, painted mid-brown. The lower register at left shows a tall, dark-reddish-brown pottery vessel with a long neck and single handle, and at right, the lowered head, neck, shoulder, and top of foreleg of a dark-brown bear. The bears wear collars tethered by ropes to looped fixtures in the ground. The fragment comes from a wall scene depicting tributes from the Levant. Bears were not native to Egypt. The bears represented are Syrian brown bears  (Ursus arctos syriacus), which were quite common in Levantine mountain regions in antiquity. They were kept as exotic animals in enclosures by Egyptian kings, and also hunted.

Eero Jarnefelt's cloud study (1893) is a view over Lake Pielinen near Koli in North Karelia in eastern Finland - creatives of Järnefelt's generation, from Sibelius to Akseli Gallen-Kallela, saw Karelia as a lost paradise and an embodiment of the authentic soul of Finland.

This picture dates to the early 1880s, shortly after Albert de Belleroche had enrolled at the atelier of Carolus Duran. Here Belleroche met John Singer Sargent. A life-long friendship ensued, with both the artists sharing studios in Paris and London. With thanks to Paul Liss.

'Sunshine, Drawing Room.' (1905) Vilhelm Hammershøi’s interiors are his most popular pictures, and they have defined public perception of his achievements as an artist. Although he was working in the era of Picasso, Matisse and Duchamp, he has more in common with Vermeer.

Does this count for #MosaicMonday? The turquoise mask of the turquoise god Xiuhtecuhtli possibly given to the Conquistador Cortes by the Aztec Emperor Moctezuma ii and thus associating Cortes with this god.

'Chemisette Verte.' (1967) There is an invisible presence in Domenico Gnoli's paintings. It is never the object itself but the person who inhabits the clothes that frames the narrative, rather like an accidentally taken passport booth photo.

These so-called glass claw beakers were distinctive art forms for early Anglo-Saxons in England and northern Frankish kingdoms. This one was unearthed at the Ringlemere barrow in Kent. The moulded glass appendages look very octopus-like. 🕰️c.400 to 600 AD 🏛️📷 BM #FindsFriday
