This spring, as we all adapted to working and living under the unusual circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we asked Getty curators to reflect on artworks that reminded them of their lives at home.

"Having spent a lot of time in monastic communities for study, I feel something familiar about the current moment," says curator of manuscripts Bryan Keene. "At least in terms of the reduction in daily activities, the number of people we encounter, and the feeling that each day is surprisingly similar to the previous one." He sees a common motif from illumined manuscripts in a paper-chain craft that he makes with his children.
