Happy birthday to Edgar Degas. The great French artist was born #onthisday in 1834.
Barber favourite, 'Jockeys before the race', is said to be inspired by the famous motion photography by Eadweard Muybridge, particularly 'Sallie Gardner at a Gallop'.
Ever wondered why Renaissance and Baroque drawings were originally produced, and why they are so valued today?
Dr David Hemsoll explains why next Wednesday lunchtime at 1.10pm #DrawntoPerfection
