Michiel van Musscher, Allegorical Portrait of an Artist in Her Studio, circa 1675-1685, oil on canvas

#ncma #omg this was really cool because it also had an interactive part to it #so like there was a recreation with a touch screen and you could press on things like the dogs and the statues and flowers and art #and it was so cool to learn more about it and to drag your finger to find it #and id love to sit down and really further deeper analyze this painting because there are so many miniscule details #i think its just so interesting that the identity of hte artist depiscted is a mystery #but i like the interpereation taht she represents an alegorical figure of painting #like shes so me #also it was funnt how the dogs were lunging at the two monkeys #but my mom brought up a great point that proportionately the cavalier king charles spaniel was signifincalty smaller and didnt see righgt #but like i loved the little angels and also that athena was in it #i love paintings within paintings so much #and we saw similar flower pieces like the one depicted throughout the museum #alos the grapes in the bottom lefthand corner look like a good artist break snack
