Happy birthday, Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau, and welcome back! 🎉
After a long trip to Paris, where John Singer Sargent spent a remarkable decade, our beloved "Madame X" has finally returned to the American Wing at The Met.
First shown at the 1884 Salon, the painting received a controversial reception because of Gautreau’s reputation and appearance, which challenged the conventions of French society at the time. However, Sargent later called the painting “the best thing I have done,” and today it stands as an icon in The Met’s collection.

Riverside High School art students spent the day painting the Painesville Township snow plows today!
You'll see these plows this summer at community events, parades and festivals - and again next Winter when it's time to plow snow!
I am thrilled to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional resilience in the face of challenges. I couldn't be prouder of Phoebe, Brooklyn, and Riley for the incredible way they handled setbacks in class. Their perseverance and positive attitude are truly inspiring!
It has been awhile since I have updated the adventures of our class pet pixel, he has had a great time with my Photo 1 students this year: https://t.co/aAaFOscwOf
