#early modern painting

[arthistoryanimalia]

For #GuineaPigAppreciationDay, the two earliest examples I've found of guinea pigs in the European visual record:

1. Painting attributed to Giovanni da Udine, n.d., artist active early 1500s to death in 1564

2. Drawing from the Felix Platter album, collected sometime between 1546-54

Attributed to Giovanni da Udine (Italian, 1487–1564) Head of a Guinea Pig oil on canvas laid on panel 6.5 x 7 in. (16.5 x 17.8 cm.) From Duke's Fine Art Auction catalog, 11th April 2013, Lot 215

Drawing collected by Felix Platter, to be used in Gessner's Historiae animalium. The drawings were made by several artists, mostly anonymous, and were collected between 1546 and 1558 (this one must date to no later than 1554 as it served as a reference for Gessner's woodcut published that year). Bijzondere collectie Universiteit van Amsterdam collection.

sometimes wonder if people consider that, decades ago, the "cheapest" and "lowest quality" stuff generally cost more (adjusted) and was higher quality than the cheapest, lowest quality stuff available now

(I said generally)

#sun set malibu barbie cost $5 in the early 1970s #that's easily equivalent to $25 now #malibu barbie is not high quality but does have click legs and a fabric swimsuit #modern $5 swimsuit barbies have painted suits and straight legs #but yeah this is overall related to that post about how craft materials have gotten low quality #because i feel like it isn't exploring just how much *cheaper* 'cheap' is these days #with the corollary that if the equivalent of old 'cheap' prices were paid then maybe the materials *might* be better #so that's why second hand stuff is good because even older and cheaper stuff that's still around is gonna be nicer than modern cheap stuff
