Looking right at you from 17th-century Bruges: a young girl, in a stunning portrait by Jacob van Oost. Today was his day.

Hooray! You're here!

Such beautiful work. Also may have been watching too much Baumgartner, as I would love to see this properly restored.

This piece is stunning.

The talent it took to make her seem so alive.. astounding

Welcome to Bluesky, Dr. Rubens. So glad you’re here!

Stunning!!!!

Excellent

Dr Rubens! Devoted follower from the swiftly-sinking-ship, I've just made the leap to Blue Sky, too. Glad you're here, regards, Ottilie.

It is amazing how the old artists can make a portrait seem alive!

🧵Dear Dr. Rubens,

How WONDERFUL it is to know YOU‼️

Are you aware of how many times you kept me alive on the bad place⁉️

✌🏽😉👋🏽.

Just beautiful!

Beautiful portrait. It made me think of this amazing self portrait by the 19th century artist, Edmond van Hove, also in Bruges

Thank you for joining Bluesky! Missing you was among my very few regrets in leaving Twitter.

Are there any current artists that see the world like this?
This portrait is so pure and beautiful.

Don't let Gaetz see this.

I’d be interested to know when it was cleaned last. The use of light here is beautiful.

It might be the photo...or age of painting, but the skin has a green (sickly) tinge.

Wow, amazing detail

Finally! The purveyor of wit and beauty is here!

Stunning!
