Happy Birthday Vincent Van Gogh. Born in 1853, today he is one of the most famous artists in the world. Here is a self portrait from the @rijksmuseum and a portrait of the Glasgow art dealer Alexander Reid which you can find in @KelvingroveArt
An hour of escapism is over. I love @BBC_ARoadshow . However, the appearance of Fiona Bruce is like the shopkeeper in Mr Benn - means it’s all over 😳 It will be a long week .... #antiquesroadshow
These are my commercial purchases of the Birth of Venus image.... a cushion courtesy of @VirginTrains and a scarf snapped up as a bargain at the El Rastro flea market in Madrid.
@ediescott Me too. This is my favourite portrait by him. It’s of Sir Thomas Gresham and it’s in the @rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Simply stunning.
The Temptations of Christ fresco by Botticelli in the Sistine Chapel in Rome. When I read about the Florentine Renaissance I always imagine the people to look as if they’ve stepped from a Botticelli painting.... #BritainsLostMasterpieces
