Frida Kahlo's Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird (1940).
Did you know that she used monkeys to symbolize sexual vitality and aggression? She also had them as pets, one of which was gifted to her by her husband, another popular Mexican artist, #DiegoRivera.

The Voynich Manuscript
The Voynich Manuscript - coolest art mystery of ALL TIME.
We don't know what the text says, who wrote it, or why, but it is believed to have been written in Central Europe (at the end of the 15th or) during the 16th century.
The manuscript, named after the Polish-American antiquarian bookseller Wilfrid M. Voynic, is described as a magical/scientific text.
Nearly every page contains botanical, figurative, and astrological ink drawings made with vibrant washes in various shades of green, brown, yellow, blue, and red!
