Chose the word “parasol” with and without the hashtag. Expected to find pictures of pretty parasols and Mary Poppins. I also expected to find lovely paintings by renowned artists like Goya and Monet. But I also found art for novels that look like they might be interesting reads, a tourist attraction in Seville, Spain, and an unusual moment in the history of the Olympics.
The parasols that we wee today date all the way back to ancient Assyria.
Great information link: History of Parasol – Who invented Parasol?

In this relief, king Tiglath-Pileser III (744-727 BCE) rides in his chariot, while an eunuch holds a protective parasol (seen as a royal symbol in Assyrian art).

There are many pictures that you cannot ignore when you visit the Prado Museum. One of our favorites is "The Parasol" by Goya. The light games caused by the umbrella are spectacular but Can you take your eyes off the girl's eyes? #parasol #guíaoficial #masterpieces #officialguide pic.twitter.com/kJyUMvFBIm
