"Her nude paintings were unprecedented in the 1500s – and, as a new exhibition at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin next month makes clear, this Renaissance artist could be every bit as outrageous and licentious as the boys.

Lavinia Fontana’s nudes were so unprecedented that experts argue about how she even got access to models. For a woman to be an artist in the 1500s was rare, for her to work with naked models unheard of." #art #LaviniaFontana #Renaissance #RenaissanceArt #Women #1500s #NudeArt #artist

Don’t take this wrong, but my question is - who wasn’t #colonized? The #1500s were a free-for-all. The English, the Dutch, the French, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the Russians & the #CatholicChurch tried to take over the planet. I hope I didn’t leave anybody out!

I love #Scotland by the way. I’m clan #Gordon on my mother’s side. Lang may yer lum reek.
