Does anyone else remember back in the early days of the internet when experts used to say, "The internet routes around problems".

I miss those early days.

To @[email protected] , I see that a lot with searches now too but I just keep searching or find some other way around the problem. There's no way I click in to Reddit any more. You do you, but I'm saying there's always another option.

Judith Jans Leyster was a Dutch Golden Age painter. She painted genre works, portraits and still lifes. Although her work was highly regarded by her contemporaries, Leyster and her work became almost forgotten after her death. Her entire oeuvre was attributed to Frans Hals or to her husband, Jan Miense Molenaer, until 1893. It wasn't until the late 19th century that she was recognized for her artistic abilities.
