✨ 📖 OUT TODAY: Happy publication day to @millington_ruth for her début non-fiction book, ‘Muse: Uncovering the hidden figures behind art history’s masterpieces’! 📖 ✨ 🖼️ What would the real people behind the world’s most famous artwork want to tell us about their lives? Meet the unexpected, overlooked and forgotten models of art history: from Leonardo da Vinci's studio to the covers of Vogue, art historian, critic and writer Ruth Millington uncovers the remarkable role of muses. 🖼️ Delving into the real-life relationships that models have held with the artists who immortalised them, ‘Muse’ exposes the influential and active part they have played and deconstruct reductive stereotypes, reframing the muse as a momentous and empowered agent of art history. #muse #art #culture #debut #publicationday #arthistory #feminist
