An Art History Post

For those of you who don't like my beloved field, you can skip this post. And there will be no pictures of Wyatt. This is one of my students, Mari Lyn, in the Louvre with Jacques-Louis David's Oath of the Horatii (1783-4). This is one of my favorite paintings and from "my" century. I spent A LOT of time talking about this painting in my survey class in the spring, which Mari Lyn was in. So, when she traveled this summer, she very kindly posed for and sent me this picture. Thanks, Mari Lyn! I think that she kind of looks like Vanna White in this picture.
