King Henry II's Armor is on exhibition at The Met Fifth Avenue | The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. Armor of Henry II, King of France (reigned 1547–59)ca. 1555 Part of the decoration design by Jean Cousin the Elder "This is one of the most elaborate and complete French parade armors, and it retains much of its original coloring. The surfaces are covered by dense foliate scrolls inhabited by human figures and a variety of fabulous creatures that derive from the Italian grotesque. The decoration includes, at the center of the breast, a Roman warrior receiving tribute of arms from two kneeling females and, on the shoulders, Apollo chasing the nymph Daphne (front) and Apollo with the slain monster Python (back). The crescent moon, one of the badges of Henry II (reigned 1547–59), appears in several places. Twenty original design drawings for this armor survive. One is by Jean Cousin the Elder; the rest are by either Étienne Delaunne or Baptiste Pellerin. All three were distinguished Parisian artists of the mid-sixteenth century." #History #HenryIIofFrance #KingofFrance #ArmorofHenryII #HenrydeValois #JeanCousintheElder #ÉtienneDelaunne #BaptistePellerin #SixteenthCentury #TheMet #TheMetropolitanMuseumofArt #ReignHistory #HistoryReign https://www.instagram.com/p/CZfgD4eL_f1/?utm_medium=tumblr
This wondrous #woodcut presents quite an interesting scene, a man being cared for with a bustling scene of construction and wildlife just outside the window. From a #sixteenthcentury book of German proverbs, this image gives us much to ponder on this cold winter's day. *** De officiis, Germany, 1531 Folio PA6312.D5 N48 1531 http://ow.ly/UA3V30hnx6y *** #kislakcenter #pennlibraries #handcolored #handcoloredprint #ethics #proverbs #marcustulliuscicero #fineprinting #rarebooks #fromthestacks #bookstagram #interior #interiors #germanproverbs
"Michiel de Ruyter (2015) is a great film. I went to the movies with my grandpa who was eager to see this film. It’s just that not the entire story is being told. The story is only told from the Dutch patriotic perspective because they don’t talk about how they used to trade slaves in those times. In this film, they focus on how great those times were for the Netherlands. The same happens with our history books, that taught us the same thing. When I was younger I used to love hearing about this part of our history, but when I think about it, I notice that I’m more knowledgeable now. It's making me question why this part of our history is still being told in this way and from our perspective only. It is kind of the same thing with news in, for example, the Western world versus Russia and or North Korea. They all look differently at each other with different perspectives, and they could all make each other seem like the bad guy and themselves as the good guy. But in essence, they could all just be hiding the bad. We only see the perception of the Western world and that’s the same way how we treat our history. When we only discuss it from our own perspective of how we would like to see it. I still believe that Michiel de Ruyter can be seen as a very beautiful film, but maybe it should have been highlighted from multiple perspectives. Nowadays you can see that some directors try to approach their films from various perspectives, but I feel that with this film it should have been mandatory. We shouldn’t be portraying that part of our history as we have been doing all along throughout my youth. As if it was a great time and that what we were doing was a good thing."

The binder apparently put one too many zeroes in the date on this blind tooled pigskin binding! Or maybe it has traveled back to us from the year 16000...⠀ ⠀ #oops #mistake #correction #bookstagram #bookbinding #bookhistory #sixteenthcentury #books #booklover #bibliophile #specialcollections #rarebooks #universityofmissouri #mizzou #librariesofinstagram (at Ellis Library)
This week's #fantasticbeastsinthelibrary features the many-headed hydra in Gessner's 1557 Historia Animalium. Gessner doesn't comment on whether the animal was real or not, but instead describes mounted specimens he has seen as examples of the taxidermist's art. This image was probably derived from pictures of the seven-headed Beast of the Apocalypse, which circulated widely at the time.⠀ ⠀ MU Ellis Special Collections Rare Vault QL41 .G4715 1557 ⠀ ⠀ #hydra #monster #beast #fantasticbeasts #woodcut #woodcutwednesday #sixteenthcentury #bookillustration #histsci #illustration #art #history #specialcollections #rarebooks #librariesofinstagram #universityofmissouri #mizzou #ellislibrary #columbiamo (at Ellis Library)
