@CraigClunas It's hard to make a tracing copy that's this dynamic and sensitive. Professor Fu Shen made us try every week for our calligraphy connoisseurship class at NTU...
@yuanyi_z Palace Museum, Beijing. I gave a little talk on this and other works of late Qing photography at the Depicting Glory Symposium at Brown University last year. https://t.co/gek4DaWhmR
@xujnx I have an article coming out where I argue that Consort Rong is also depicted in 《乾隆帝宮中行樂圖》- she's second from the left. Interestingly, she's not wearing Uyghur clothing in this painting; she is dressed in classical Han attire. https://t.co/W5whpBHCDS衣裳
@DevinFitzger Most modern Yiddishists don't use שיקסע (shikse) or its masculine form שײגעזץ (sheygets) as they're seen as offensive. Let's just say that you have a ייִדישׂער קאָפּ (lit. a Jewish head): clever, astute, and a Jew-ish mentality.
The tenure-stream faculty of the Department of Art History at the University of Minnesota writes to address the recent non-renewal of adjunct instructor, Dr. Erika López Prater, from her term appointment at Hamline University in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

@chrisdecou @Dong_Muda @woodsidesusan2 Nice catch! Lai Yu-chih writes that "Peacocks Spreading their Tails" 孔雀開屏圖 illustrates the moment when the progeny of these Hami tributes spread their tails for the first time. There's more to be said about tribute and envisioning Qing empire through natural history.
@Dong_Muda So beautiful. I remember being surprised to see deer like those when I visited. This same species can be found in Qianlong-era paintings of the north. They seem to have been tied to the north/steppe in the Qing imperial imagination.
@woodsidesusan2 This is really interesting! What's going on with the hanging scroll/scroll holder? Ingenious - Ming painting desks don't have drawers; I'd always wondered.
