@Jaspersmum It looked fantastic and I did enjoy it but the mumbling by actors was truly awful. There were a couple of cast members who spoke clearly (the young boy playing Roger Parslow was excellent) but many were indecipherable. Hope it improves #HisDarkMaterials
@arthistorynews Is this painting available to view? What a treasure to find. A lovely, heartwarming first episode of #BritainsLostMasterpieces - I now admire Batoni more than ever.
I’ve always loved Pompeo Batoni’s works, particularly his full length Grand Tour portraits, but this beautiful and touching memorial portrait of parents with their child who had died was so very moving. Look at their sadness. #BritainsLostMasterpieces
Waiting for my Twilight Tour group to arrive. This is the fabulous new Burrell Highlights Gallery within @KelvingroveArt Pop in and see it.
If you haven’t been for chocolate and churros on Sunday morning @ChocoSanGines have you even been to Madrid? 😂
@Jaspersmum Most definitely. I would love to visit Rokeby. I came across it when I was doing some work with Abbotsford as Sir Walter Scott was a friend of John Morritt, who bought the Rokeby Venus. We can pick a date when we meet in November. 😍👍
This is one of his most famous works - The Virgin in Prayer c.1640 - which can be found @NationalGallery in London.
A dream fulfilled yesterday. Visited the house of Augustus in the Forum. It was nice but could do with a bit of work... 😜 The use of frescoes and perspective was ahead of its time. Was worth the wait in the searing heat.
