Anyone tried this at home yet? 🎣

This coloured etching, 'Mr Briggs Contemplates a Day’s Fishing' by Victorian caricaturist John Leech, is our #PrintOfTheWeek.

As his family watches, his line knocks over candlesticks, picture frames and vases. https://t.co/cthk2rVZUV

Today's #OnlineArtExchange celebrates #AprilFools!

We are pretty amused by this incredible etching titled ‘Fool’s Head World Map’ produced around 1590 by an unknown artist - what do you think? @Americanmuseum https://t.co/TSK874Q0Mx

Happy #MothersDay! 💐

As the moonlight breaks through the clouds, a mother and child welcome home a fishing boat, presumably carrying the child’s father.

'A Mother and Child by the Sea' by Johan Christian Dahl is one of the smallest but best loved pictures in our collection.

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.

Édouard Manet was born #onthisday in 1832! He painted our 1876 oil on canvas ‘Portrait of Carolus-Duran’.

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.
