I’m tired of the clickbait and sensationalist « #discovery  » trope in #arthistory . The Angers Tapestry was rediscovered in the 19th century, (not unusual for tapestries) not by the guardian yesterday 1/. Forgotten French tapestry/The Guardian theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…
The first paragraph uses « basement gallery » and « provincial » to bolster the discovery claim. The « basement » gallery is a high tech LED-equipped prize-winning museography, reopened in 2010. . 2/
The gallery hosting it was opened in 1950 - but before that it was exhibited in the episcopal palace, where the artist Jean #Lurçat was so enthralled upon seeing it that he created his masterpiece Chant du Monde. Now also hosted in Angers. 3/
You don’t « discover » a masterpiece when its part of the Centre des Musées Nationaux @leCMN and one of the core works for medieval art history students @EcoleduLouvre, and has been the subject of a grandiose fully illustrated Diane de Selliers book @EditionsDS 4/
I know its tempting to spice up an article, but you’re hurting #experts when you say « Yet few people know about it, even in France; fewer still have visited it. » @laBnF lists 47 specialized books on it since 1877, 14 of which have been written since 2015, @johnkampfner 6/
Its listed number one of the 10 most beautiful tapestries onthe BBC culture website. Right, I’m off to« discover » the Holy Grail #Tapestries of basement artist #EdwardBurnesJones in the provincial town of Birmingham for a @lemondefr #arthistory article. Toodeloo...

C'est publié! Our aim in preparing *Forms and Formats and the Circulation of Knowledge* was to take the discussion of formats into the busy world of business transactions, copyrights, economic constraints, and the hustle and bustle of the #printshop (brill.com/view/title/579…)
Here is a look at the TOC - these contributors were a dream to work with: James Raven, Jeffrey Hopes, Rebecca Schoff Curtin, @ijalexander2002 , Yvonne Cornish, @katieparker18th, @cgspence, James P. Ascher, @Jacqui_R_Walsh, David Duff - and co-editor Louisiane Ferlier ! ImageRaven: Jobbing printing in ...
It opens with James Raven's meticulous survey of jobbing, which provided a regular income stream for printers hardly achievable with other forms of prints (blank forms, blank forms, everywhere!) Affidavit of burial in wool

🧵Tom McNulty #ArtMarket Research (2014 2ndEd) is a good bibliography to start with, with chapter 8 on the sources for historic markets. For the #18C, the most recent is @GettyMuseum London and the Emergence of a European Art Market (2019)

shop.getty.edu/products/londo…
For European markets, mining Titia Hulst's A History of the Western #ArtMarket @ucpress is a must. It covers Italian city states, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Germany and Spain, London and Paris for the #18C
Most art market studies are done on a national level (viz, eco and law histories often are) Let me however bring your attention to the groundbreaking @DriesLyna and Jan Dirk Baetans Art Crossing Borders @brill 2019

#medievaltwitter my 12 year old has started writing a historical fiction remash of robin hood and peasants revolts. (Yes, @ me, that’ll tell her). She needs names 1) historically appropriate for peasants 2) « not, like, really ugly »
We need your help 1/
Yes, #earlymodern I did try to impress her with the benefits of setting it in the #18c but she wasn’t interested with heroes called Catherine Hayes, Squire Nonsuchfool or Jeanne-Joseph-Françoise de la Baume Esperges de Quitterie 2/
She also needs the name of an English town where peasants would have met both weavers and foreigners at the fair because that’s part of the mystery plot and she doesn’t want to be told off by #medievaltwitter. And no, Nottingham doesn’t work. Already taken.3/
