Our etching, 'Who will Bell the Cat?' by Goya, shows four men attempting to tame a strange elephant. 🐘

One holds out a harness of bells, referring to the fable of mice ‘belling’ a cat: to 'bell a cat' means to attempt an impossibly difficult task.

#PrintOfTheWeek

Italian Baroque artist Mattia Preti was born #OnThisDay in 1613.

With light dramatically breaking through the stormy sky, Saint Peter is shown crucified upside down. He chose this way to die as he felt unworthy to share exactly the same manner of execution as Christ himself.

As the annual (but this year virtual !) #VeniceCarnival comes to a close, we thought we would share a historic carnival artwork.

Ascribed to Pietro Novelli, our elegant drawing ‘A Music Party’ was produced around 1750.

Painter Nicolas Lancret was born #onthisday in 1690!

He was probably the most successful follower of Jean-Antoine Watteau. Our painting ‘Lovers in a Landscape’, produced in about 1736, was the first painting purchased for the Barber.

It’s #NationalHatDay! 🎩

Here’s our 1786/7 Joshua Reynolds oil painting, ‘Maria Marow Gideon and her Brother, William’. Maria wears a picture hat or Gainsborough hat, which was at the height of fashion in 18th-century Britain.

A vibrant landscape evoking spring to welcome in the New Year... 🌳

Painted by influential Flemish artist Anthony van Dyck in 1635-1641, the spontaneity of our 'English Landscape' suggests it may have been painted outside, directly from nature.

Our final #ShareYourMasterpiece to celebrate @RCT's new #Masterpieces exhibition is Jan Steen's 'The Wrath of Ahasuerus' from about 1671-73.

The Dutch Golden Age artist created engaging and humorous scenes, often of peasant life, as well as Old Testament scenes like this one.

Our second #ShareYourMasterpiece choice @RCT is... our 'Sheet of Studies' by Rembrandt, from the mid-1630s.

Many of his sets of studies appear to have been cut into pieces at some stage: this is the most complete set on a single sheet to survive.
