A Tale of a Girl and a Peacock (1916) by Petro Kholodnyi. This wonderful work organically combines the mysterious symbolism of the subject (the #peacock being the embodiment of the eternal dream of beauty) with the poetry of #Ukrainian folklore and national painting traditions. The decorative flatness of the painting with accentuated fine line drawing, and the use of tempera and panel reminds of old icon paintings. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/a-tale-of-a-girl-and-a-peacock-petro-kholodnyi.html #art#arthistory#Ukraine #BuyIntoArt #MastoArt#FediArt

This was such a cool study, I threw out my planned schedule to write about this instead. Ecologists worked with art historians to find out if it’s possible to study landscape changes by looking at #art from the nineteenth century. https://www.forbes.com/sites/evaamsen/2023/09/18/art-historians-join-ecologists-to-study-landscapes-of-the-past/?sh=200003b34686 #art #science #ecology #arthistory #environment #nature
