🐘 The Airavatesvara Temple Kumbakonam, India, contains a well-known optical illusion.

🐂 What do you see: a bull or an elephant?

Cool fact: Did you know that "illusion" literally means "in-play"?

@IdeasRoadshow @histodons @academicchatter @historyofart At first look, I saw the bull. It took a little effort to see the elephant, but ultimately, I did.

I can see parts of both but cannot get either to swim into focus as the dominant one. Bull is a little more distinct; elephant is a mess.

When you think about #Renaissance Italy, do the names Sofonisba Anguissola, Lavinia Fontana and Isabella d’Este come to mind?

They influenced their time much more than history has generally recognized.

Interesting exhibition at the @mfaboston

Stay tuned for an upcoming Ideas Roadshow documentary about Women In The Italian Renaissance.

Take a look at the "classical" error in the set-up of these gorgeous Cycladic #chess pieces that I saw in the gift shop of the Cycladic Museum in Athens.
