Jean Siméon Chardin reminds us that every master was once a student. ✍️

As back-to-school season begins, “Young Student Drawing” offers a thoughtful reflection on the journey of learning and harnessing creativity.

J. M. W. Turner, “Glaucus and Scylla,” c. 1841. The Kimbell Art Museum

[Kimbell Art Museum @KimbellArt]

Captivated by the myths of Circe? 🌊☀️

If you can’t get enough of the enchantress’s transformative powers, look to J. M. W. Turner's “Glaucus and Scylla” painting.

Circe will later transform Scylla into a terrifying, cliff-dwelling monster, which Turner probably alludes to with the two red outcroppings aglow on the distant horizon.

“Lion,” Roman, c. A.D. 450–62. Kimbell Art Museum

[Kimbell Art Museum @KimbellArt]

A lion fit for Leo season 🦁

[Kimbell Art Museum @KimbellArt]

The lion was a powerful symbol in biblical imagery, associated with courage and strength.

The mosaic may once have been part of a larger hunting composition, a common subject in late Roman and Early Christian art.
