Five artworks will be removed from public view at the Kunsthaus Zurich museum in Switzerland in order to investigate whether they were looted by Nazis during World War II. The paintings are by Monet, van Gogh, Gauguin, Courbet and Toulouse-Lautrec, and come from the Bührle Foundation, which has been working with a provenance researcher for many years to determine the ownership history of the collection. Here's more from NPR.
Photos are coming in from the #IN2FUTURE Boot Camp, #IN2PAST's first doctoral school, which began on Saturday in Évora.
Experimentation, immersion, collaboration, sharing, reflection — that's what we are offering PhD students from the seven research centres that make up the Associated Lab.
These are digital #microscope photos of a camel from a 15th-century Persian manuscript in the @subugoe (Cod. MS pers. 14). The purple image was taken with ultraviolet light and the grey picture with infrared. Because infrared goes right through most pigments, it reveals the preliminary sketch of the camel underneath the pigment (which you see in the UV photo). Really interesting for the history of art!
