⭐ For the first time in history, see all of Jan van Eyck’s portraits together ⭐

Tickets are now on sale for our upcoming exhibition, 'Van Eyck: The Portraits'.

Portraiture as we know it begins with van Eyck. His vision and skill launched painting into a new era of unrivalled realism. Though these people sat for their portraits 600 years ago, they feel alive today.

I missed that! This manuscript, preserved in Topkapi library, was written in 909/1503 by Hamza Šarīfī for the Mamluk ruler Qansuh al-Ghurī. The Fatiha and sūra al-Fath are written in a stunning floriated Kufic on paper that was then lacquered!

🔎Though small in size (4.1cm x 3.2cm), this translucent jade dragon demonstrates the amazing jade-carving prowess in the Warring States period (475–221 BCE). Take a closer look at the V-shaped patterns on its body—there are 4-5 lines lying in one millimeter.

Economists, myself included, often make a point of saying that the stock market is not the economy, which it isn't. It *is*, however, pretty much the Trump presidency. Take away his magic talisman and there's nothing left

今週の展示替えは東洋館12室の「東南アジアの陶磁」。その中の重要美術品「青花魚藻文大皿」はベトナムで15～16世紀に最盛期を迎えた #青花磁器 です。白釉で化粧を施すのがベトナム青花の特徴で、中国磁器に無い素朴さと重厚さが魅力です。その他、最新の展示替え情報：https://t.co/6EbFGezRVA
