Odes to Ovid: 2,000 years of art inspired by Metamorphoses at the Rijksmuseum With works from Caravaggio to Louise Bourgeois, this spectacular Amsterdam show reminds us of art’s eternal pleasures

Belatedly following up on the discourse on transfem depictions in art, the Rijksmuseum's new Ovid exhibition showcases Bernini's 'Sleeping Hermaphroditus' (1620) which has the integrity to show us as we truly are: sooooo sleepy. πŸ₯±πŸ’€

Portrait of Lise Meitner taken in 1928. She is smoking a cigarette and looking impatient to get back to her experiments.

Last week, I mentioned this in passing in a workshop:

In 1938 Enrico Fermi won a Nobel Prize for discovering two new elements of the periodic table.

Lise Meitner shortly showed that Fermi was mistaken and instead had produced known lighter elements by fission.

She did not win a Nobel prize.

one of the things that constantly strikes me while researching/writing a historical-ish novel is that *these people also had a past*, they had their own ideas about it, they often even used different terms and names than we use (my fave example: Fibonnaci only acquired that name in the 1800s)

agreed, we must recognise. What i like most about it is that it's surprising. It's just weird enough that you couldn't expect it
