Maybe it's naive of me, but whenever I see portraits like this, with just a father and daughter, it restores my faith in humanity a little. Because people seem to love this idea that fathers never loved their daughters in the past and only saw them as bargaining chips for marriage or whatever, but look at the guy in the first portrait on the left, he loves that little girl! And the dad trying to do his work while his daughter bothers him with an Old Timey Barbie. The man teaching his daughter geography, his expression is so soft! The way the man in the last portrait holds the little girl's hand! And none of these are incidental, these aren't photographs, someone (probably the father) paid good money and sat down for hours so that they could have a painting of themselves and their daughter. Probably because they loved their daughter.

From left to right: 1795 Michał Jerzy Mniszech with his daughter Elżbieta - Marcello Bacciarelli; Christopher Anstey and his daughter Mary Ann by William Hoare 1776; A Musician and His Daughter by Thomas de Keyser 1629; The Geography Lesson (Portrait of Monsieur G. and His Daughter), 1812; Jean-baptiste Isabey And His Daughter; Portrait of a Young Girl and Older Man by William Harrison Scarborough

(this is probably somewhat related to my other favourite genre of painting, Husband With Multiple Kids Making Come Hither Eyes At His Wife)

oh I love those! People being people is one of my favourite kinds of paintings and an important reminder that people in past times were not all that different. There were dads who loved their daughters fiercely. There were fathers who happily looked after their babies too. The German reformer Philip Melanchton for example had a cradle in his office. His wife was busy organising a household for 20 people- she was out and about, he mostly worked in his office, it made sense for him to look after their babies too babies while she dropped by at snack time.

in fact often if it was kind of safe dads had the babies in their workshops for just that reason as we can see in these paintings:

The left is “the busy father” by Theodore Weber, the right one is “At the china repairer’s “ by Wenzel Tornoe. All dads who are actively involved in childcare and a painter who thought it was a cute topic rather than anything ridiculous.

Nothing more heartbreaking than Treny, in which a poet mourns his youngest daughter.

throwback to my favorite image ive ever seen on this site. a perfect little melange of racism. i could write entire novels deconstructing this thing. its so bad it looped back around into absurdist comedy for me. thats my friend the floating buffalo shaman who has no religion

[flagellant]

every so often i remember that most people probably dont know what i refer to when i mention my friend, the floating buffalo shaman who has no religion.

sometimes being a fan of something means not wanting them to make any more of it

individuals like Dale Partridge serve one (1) good function in this social media landscape, and that is to remind me that when they say the Bible instructs women to be delicate little homemakers, they are pulling that directly from their ass, and understand neither theology nor history … so stay educated, ladies

[rosegardeninwinter]

the wars of the roses/the plantagenets generally is easily my favorite period to read about and one of my favorite things about it is that you really can tell how young many of the major players were because at like, every opportunity to deescalate the conflict, they’re putting someone’s head on a spike

“america doesn’t have a culture” is such a nonsense take lol

[rosegardeninwinter]

it’s probably more accurate to say america has lots of cultures in one culture and, sorry, but that’s really cool

[rosegardeninwinter]

and it’s lame to hear people just kind of … dismiss? all of the different communities, colors, and creeds that form the unique and distinct sort of kaleidoscope that is our country … like that’s very boring of you
