Super interesting article.<p>&gt; Also, I refuse to put up one of those obnoxious “SIGN UP NOW!” pop-ups on the site, because I find them ridiculously annoying<p>I can&#x27;t express enough gratitude for this, though.

I didn&#x27;t realise that most of the sexy weasels would be dead. :(

When I was a kid, the Leonardo painting was called &quot;Lady with a Weasel&quot;. Now they claim it is &quot;Lady with an Ermine&quot;. Most probably, though, it is &quot;Lady with a Polecat-Ferret Hybrid&quot;.

Once you see it you can&#x27;t unsee it, apparently.<p>One wonders what other bizarre cultural subtexts we&#x27;re missing in other historical art periods.

These were probably the visual memes of their age and seem to have survived primarily because their patrons were able to pay for them to be immortalized.

Had no idea that dead weasels were used as fashion items.<p>That is a very interesting website, some freaky stuff on there.

Obligatory negative HN comment: it&#x27;s Lorenzo Lotto, not Lorenzo Lorro. This mistake is repeated 4 times in the article!

I find it interesting that the Lynx as a symbol of a childless woman has held into the modern era: cat ladies.
