This painting shows the psychological impact of music, with colourful faces representing various emotions. Luigi Rossolo was interested in pushing musical boundaries and invented a series of noise-making machines he called ‘intonarumori’. @Estorick @artukdotorg #OnlineArtExchange

My Second Sermon shows Millais’ seven-year-old daughter Effie fast asleep in church. The Archbishop of Canterbury Charles Longley, who evidently had a sense of humour, described My Second Sermon as “a warning of the evil of lengthy sermons and drowsy discourses” #WorldSleepDay 💤

How many men can you spot wearing red robes? Aldermen of the City of London still wear these scarlet gowns #WearRedDay

Today's #OnlineArtExchange with @artukdotorg is Prize Sheep by #WilliamHenryDavis 📍@LincsMuseum

For 19th century landowners it was a symbol of status to have a prize-winning animal. Sometimes a painting would be commissioned; presumably that is the case with this sheep! 🐑

#OTD 1751 – Birth of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, one of the 18th century’s most well-known playwrights. Despite his success in the theatre and later as an MP, he died in poverty, overwhelmed by debt after the #DruryLaneTheatre, which he owned, burned down in 1809.

The ghostly figure in this painting represents a very real danger: tuberculosis. Once responsible for around a quarter of all deaths in England, this disease left its victims weak and emaciated like the woman here. @wellcometrust @artukdotorg #OnlineArtExchange

Today's #OnlineArtExchange with @artukdotorg is #Autumn and we picked "Boreas and Fallen Leaves" by 👨‍🎨Evelyn de Morgan 📍@DeMorganF
The wind & leaves have been anthropomorphised as Boreas & women with autumnal hair. The artist often painted allegorical figures like these.
