A self portrait of 17th century painter William Dobson. It is a head and shoulders portrait against a plain dark background, wearing a black doublet with a white high collar. He has curly black or dark brown hair and a moustache. He looks directly at the viewer. It has a square gold frame.

This self-portrait of #WilliamDobson was recently bought for the nation by #TateBritain and #NationalPortraitGallery.

William is going on a national tour soon, so I wanted to visit first.

My little Dobson loving heart is having a good day. 🥰

It's not crazy to attempt to read and transcribe every PCC will from 1640s London just to see if anyone anywhere mentions one specific man, right? Right....?

Indeed! Not forgetting the Lusophone world (Habsburg from 1580-1640 after all? @thiagokrause.bsky.social (ed. living in Detroit might endorse your observation?)

t's a good job that you may visit the #seventeenthcentury in your historical imagination then, if I may observe 😁

I wonder if it devotes much attention to the #seventeenthcentury @jjponcevazquez.bsky.social @amandajsummers.bsky.social @csschmitt.bsky.social (living, again, in hope if not expectation)

Good Morrow Valentine.

#OTD In 1673, Margaret Cavendish died at Welbeck Abbey. She had been a true trailblazer with her writings and scientific experiments, just to name some of her accomplishments. She is my favourite woman from the Stuart period. #margaretcavendish #seventeenthcentury #stuartera #womenshistory

another fascinating podcast on #premodern #atomism ... the interaction between corpuscular philosophy and living nature still remains a huge point in seventeenth-century understanding of nature #seventeenthcentury #Democritus

William's portrait jointly by Tate/NPG, they will stay together for good. I hope William would be chuffed!

I'm already planning a trip to the Tate to see them. 😍

allowing for differences in artistic styles (mostly Van Dyck and Dobson).

My current top choice is William, but Henry is in the mix too as an outsider.

Whoever he is, he is NOT Charles Lucas!!!

I guess it was a thing to be painted with your child on a chair c. 1617. Marcus Gheeraerts' portrait of Lucy Apsley and her son, Allen; unknown (and pregnant) woman and child by Van Somer. We think. Remarkably similar sets... #EarlyModern #SeventeenthCentury

A photograph of a replica of Pascal's calculator. It appears like a yellow metal box, with six wheels that are able to be turned using the small wooden stick, thereby generating different number values.

The #seventeenthcentury was a time of many leaps in thinking in 'natural #philosophy' (or what we would consider nowadays as science). One of the great thinkers of this #ScientificRevolution was the #French scientist, mathematician, and philosopher #BlaisePascal (1623-1666). #History
