I remember the first time I heard about the Hypterotomachia as an undergrad and I just thought it was the best name ever so immediate intrigue!

As a Parmigianino expert (allegedly) my search results are the direct inverse of yours, but then the camera roll from my research makes the argument that the two are inextricable from one another.

I agree 100%, but this made me laugh so hard. It is like the NYT asked ChatGPT what is something that would piss Chris Nygren off the most and this was the answer.

Like I said, without fail every three months I bring up the part about shopping, so you have fulfilled that quota 😅 But I gladly accept the well-dressedness of the subfield.

About every 3 months I reference the best line when he talks about going to CAA and thinking people will be interesting bc they are well dressed only to discover that they just happen to research in Italy and do their shopping their. Inspired.

Nothing to make me feel older than realizing when I started writing about a certain set of prints they were "nearly 500 years old" and now they are "over 500 years old"...

My pleasure! I mean the whole story surrounding his death as narrated by Giorgio Vasari in 1550 is quite excellent.

Raphael - pope adjacent - quite perfectly died on Good Friday 1520.

Ugh such great memories zoning out and just getting to stare at those frescoes.

This Passover I’m thinking hard about the holiday’s history of resistance to tyrannical leaders, and the imperative for Jewish people to stand with all oppressed peoples of the world.

One of my favourite courses I ever took in undergrad was a history of architecture course for which we had to sketch to a theme each week. It is such an amazing way to see things in a new light, so I can only imagine how enriching this course would be.

It’s a heist movie but just with a bunch of humanities scholars trying to get their grant money back.

…and for what it’s worth a “canadese” already exists and it’s just a normal tent.

A friendly PSA for my fellow Canadians: the Americano as the name for the coffee drink is already a knock against Americans who were scoffed at by Italians for drinking watered down coffee, so please, I beg of you, don’t rename it the Canadiano. It’s not the clever move you think it is.
