Bust of Piet Heyn, Hendrick de Keyser (II) (attributed to), 1636
Piet Heyn became a seaman at a young age. When he was fifteen years old, he was taken prisoner by the Spanish and made to serve two years as a galley slave. After his release, Heyn pursued a career in the merchant marine: he held high-ranking positions in the Dutch West India Company. In 1628 he captured a Spanish treasure fleet (known as the ‘Silver Fleet’) off the coast of Cuba. A year later he perished at sea.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 273.
Caroline Chapman' book of accessible art history, Nineteenth Century Women Artists: Sisters of the Brush (2021) is a synthetic account of a range of relatively well known & perhaps more obscure women artists working between 1800-1914. Its more a survey than a book with a coherent central argument (other than women artists confront many obstacles), but as an introduction to female painters & sculptors it works well.

My last #selfie for the algorithm before I deleted IG last weekend. Goodbye after 12 yrs + 50k followers 👋🏾 I couldn’t have done it if I hadn’t gained some traction here, so thank you for following.
I grew up in #punkrock and #anarchist organizing, so moving to #NonCorporate and #decentralized social media feels full circle. I want my #pottery to be part of a future of thought that represents progress and liberation.

If you've been fascinated by the frescos in Sienna's town hall, you will enjoy Jules Lubbock's Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s Good & Bad Government, Reconsidered (2025) which offers a comprehensive account both of their meaning & the way Lorenzetti likely came to the deception he settled on. Its a pretty dense book (and expensive) but for those interested in the frescos likely worth it as it is full on interesting analyses.
A way overdue Ko-fi membership reward for @witchywhosit !
