@natgeomuseum: Is today actually the anniversary of the Pompeii eruption? 🌋 While ancient texts point to August 24, 79 A.D., local artifacts tell a different story — suggesting the eruption may have actually happened in autumn. Archaeologist and National Geographic Explorer Caitie Barrett is digging into the everyday lives of ancient Pompeiians to uncover the truth. Her team is doing groundbreaking research right now in Rome — so, a new discovery confirming (or refuting) the exact date could be right around the corner. #Pompeii #History #AncientHistory #NationalGeographic #Archaeology

Question. Why are we going off of our research rather than what their texts say? Are they not the experts of their own history?

This denim bow blouse might be the easiest way to look instantly put together. The oversized tie neck gives that expensive boutique vibe, but it’s still soft and comfortable. I styled it with seersucker wide-leg pants, leopard flats, and chunky silver jewelry… and it instantly looks like a full outfit with almost zero effort. #denimstyles #styleinspo #fashionover50 #outfitinspiration #elevatedstyle

Sympathy (1877) By Briton Rivière 📍 Royal Holloway, University of London, United Kingdom This little girl appears to have been sent to the stairs as punishment. But someone decided to stay beside her. In Briton Rivière's Sympathy, the girl sits with her chin resting on one hand, looking away from the small white dog beside her. The dog leans its head close to her shoulder, offering what looks like a quiet gesture of comfort. The painting became famous after being exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1878. Even the influential critic John Ruskin praised Rivière's realistic portrayal of the dog. But here's what makes the scene so touching. We never find out what the girl did. We never see her punishment end. And she doesn't visibly respond to the dog. Yet the animal remains close. Sometimes companionship doesn't require a dramatic gesture. What do you think makes this painting so emotional? Follow @bymuseum for more stories behind famous paintings.
