2/ It's easy to forget that Manet (1832-1883) was a great still life painter. His notorious Salon pictures are what most people go on about. But heavens he was good at painting food. How simple and precious he makes it look. There's a note of sadness, too, isn't there? #FoodInArt

According to Prue Leith, we've become a nation of bakers during the Great Lockdown. Of course we have! When things get serious in the world, food moves to the front of the queue. It's something that art keeps proving. So here's my Top Ten of the weightiest food in art. #FoodInArt

Jacob Marrel (1613-1681) and Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717). Stepfather and daughter. Jacob (left) was a Dutch flower artist who taught Maria (right) how to paint. He was good. She was outstanding, a pioneering naturalist and traveller, who specialised in insects. #FamilyArt

Gwen (1876-1939) and Augustus John (1878-1961). Sister and brother. Augustus (left) used to be the one who took all the plaudits. More recently Gwen (right) has overtaken him. Rightly so. Her emotional moods are gentle and addictive. His stuff is blustering and macho. #FamilyArt

Jacques Villon (1875-1963) and Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968). Brothers. Villon (left) has had his reputation blown away by the enormous celebrity of his brother (right). But Villon could be a decent cubist. Mind you, so could Duchamp - before he re-invented art! #FamilyArt

There's been lots of stuff about families during the Great Lockdown. All those Zoom ads about how's it's brought us together, and the pain of separation. It made me think of those special artistic families that have given us more than one talent. Here's my Top Ten! #FamilyArt

4/ Richard Dadd (1843-86). Dadd was imprisoned in 1843 for murdering his father, who he thought was the devil. The rest of his career was spent in Bedlam and Broadmoor. He specialised in detailed depictions of fairies. Bottom left was found on the Antiques Roadshow. #IsolationArt

1/ Picasso (1939-1945). Picasso painted his most haunting still-lifes in occupied Paris. Where most still-lifes are about what's there, Picasso's were about what's missing. It was brave of him to stay and face down the Nazis. Most French artists left or collaborated #IsolationArt

10/ Mary Magdalene - Mary's main attribute is the jar of perfume she used to seduce men when she was a prostitute. If there's a pot, it's Mary. Often cradles a skull while living in a cave and repenting her sins. Has trouble keeping her clothes on! #WaldysGuideToSaints

9/ St Martin of Tours - Painted by El Greco, top left, and Van Dyck, top right, cutting his cloak in half and giving it to a beggar. After he gave away half his cloak, Jesus appeared to him in a dream wearing the missing bit! Later, he became bishop of Tours. #WaldysGuideToSaints
