TIL that when sculpting the Penitent Magdalene, Donatello, the famous sculptor of the Italian Renaissance, may have been inspired by a model suffering from lipodystrophy, making the wooden masterpiece a remarkable convergence of art history and paleopathology.

Old summer in Austria
Good morning Austrian friends, since summer has just arrived, I just wanted to share with you these vintage advertising posters promoting tourism to Austria.
A little background: these pieces are part of the Salce Collection in Treviso (Italy). The posters date from the 1920s to the 1950s and were commissioned by the Austrian central government to promote tourism not only in Italy but also in the Netherlands, since two Dutch-language posters are preserved in Berlin (Staatliche Museen, Kunstbibliothek).
