Michaelina Wautier at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna

Nov. is such a busy month…so I’m posting this to spur myself (& friends?) to get over to the MFA for this soon!

There is exactly 1 month left to see “Rachel Ruysch: Artist, Naturalist, Pioneer” at the @mfaboston.bsky.social - the show is on thru Dec 7. www.mfa.org/exhibition/r...

I wish I could attend this book presentation. It's a great volume with many fine contributions. Say nice things about it, @judithpollmann.bsky.social! 😉

It's the annual opening of our mentoring scheme together with the the Early Modern Scholars of Colour Network! Applications for mentors and mentees open now. Apply by 30th November 2025. all info: www.rensoc.org.uk/education-ou... #EarlyModern #SkyStorians

📣 We are delighted to announce that the Fall 2025 issue of Renaissance Quarterly (vol. 78.3) has been published online. You can view it here: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #RenTwitter #earlymodern #Renaissance @universitypress.cambridge.org

Many thanks to the @rsaorg.bsky.social for sharing a notice of the new #OpenAccess teaching module on the Black Death. www.rsa.org/news/709728/.... I will be attending the RSA meeting in February, so get in touch if you want to plan to talk teaching strategies! #MedievalSky #EarlyModern #histmed

I am so excited to participate on this panel Sat, Nov 15 - Is still life still relevant? I get to talk with Bryn Schockmel & Derin Tanyol, Sharon Core, & Amanda Malmstrom about women & still life—the subject of 4 shows (!) this fall at The Hyde Collection. www.hydecollection.org/event/panel-...

What a great find! As a paleographer, I can't help but observe that if this were French I would have dated the not-yet-Gothic script to the mid-12th century. In Norway, the transition from Romanesque to Gothic happens later, hence the tentative 13th-c. date. www.sciencenorway.no/cultural-his...

Coming up Sat, Nov 15 - Is still life still relevant? Hyde Collection curators Bryn Schockmel & Derin Tanyol converse with Sharon Core, @erikagaffney.bsky.social & Amanda Malmstrom about women & still life—the subject of 4 shows at The Hyde Collection. www.hydecollection.org/event/panel-...
