Happy #WorldMusicDay - on the summer solstice! ☀️
We're bringing you sunshine through painting and music on #MusicMonday.
Gustave Courbet visited Étretat on the Normandy coast in the summer of 1869, working outdoors to create five views of the cliffs and numerous seascapes.
We've loved having our first visitors to #MakingAMark! ☀️
Our first #MusicMonday of the exhibition takes us back to the 16th century. Hear a performance by Christ Church Cathedral Choir, composed by Flemish musician Orlando de Lassus in about 1560. https://t.co/1AUNfUbRDp
This fantastic architectural ‘capriccio’ of real and imaginary features was painted in 1796 by Hubert Robert, born #OnThisDay in 1733.

We're #BackInTheBarber tomorrow! 🎊 Rosie, our learning and engagement intern, is looking forward to seeing 'A Mother and Child by the Sea' by Dahl:
“I really enjoy the ambiguity - we have to decide for ourselves if it’s a story of loss or reconnection.”
Our fourth #TuesdayTalks podcast series launches today - with the golden morning of 'A Pastoral Landscape' by Claude Lorrain. 🌤️
Delve into this idyllic painting's history, and learn about the artist himself, in this week's episode with Robert Wenley ➡️ https://t.co/Fub5QCD4JQ
Mozart's 'The Marriage of Figaro' premiered on 1 May, 1786. In the same year, Joshua Reynolds painted our virtuoso double portrait, 'Maria Marow Gideon & her Brother, William'.

This dramatic lithograph, 'A Wild Horse', by Eugène Delacroix is our #PrintOfTheWeek. 🐎
The energy of the untamed horse is captured perfectly through the versatile technique of lithography, enabling Delacroix to illustrate its frightened response to a gust of wind.
