Last April I added a Baroque still life to the timeline and mentioned it in this blog.

Just added the below two images to the 16th-century timeline. They are both from a procession in 1582 in Dresden, Germany (more details can be found in the timeline).

Pick That Thing Up and Play! 9 Trombone Paintings from 17th-Century Flanders

The timeline now features nine Belgian (or Flemish, if you prefer) paintings within the short span of approximately 30 years (c. 1610-c. 1640) that include trombone. They are similar in several respects. Several [...]
