7/ St Agatha - Another mutilated Christian martyr, Agatha had her breasts cut off and is usually seen carrying them on a plate. Born in Catania in Sicily, she spurned the advances of a Roman pagan. First they put her in a brothel. Then they tried to burn her.

2/ St Lucy - You can't miss St Lucy in art. She'll be holding a plate with her eyes on it! The story goes that Lucia from Syracuse refused to give up her virginity to a pagan suitor. As her punishment her eyes were gauged out and she was stabbed in the throat.#WaldysGuideToSaints

1/ John The Baptist - Pops up various guises, but is often a young shepherd who's lost his clothes. Usually sports an extra thin cross and an animal skin from his hermit days. If he's already met Salome, then all that's left of him is his head on a platter.

Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun (1755-1842). Although she's best known for her portraits of Marie Antointette - especially the casual one of the queen looking like a shepherdess -Vigee-Lebrun was also a pioneering self-portraitist: Cindy Sherman waiting to happen! Artist of many faces.

Thea from ZCZ has done this to me because The Art Mysteries are on BBC 4 tonight, because she edited the film (brilliantly!), and because she is a very naughty Norwegian!! Hah!

Art lovers, my guide to the best online/digital/tv stuff to watch is in the Sunday Times today. That's here. https://t.co/fxv0Ykse7O
I also reviewed the Titian show at the National Gallery, and that is here. Worth a read, though I say so myself.

Beep beep. It's the birthday of the curious German painter Adam Elsheimer (1578-1610). Died at 32. Not prolific. Painted mostly on copper. He was in Rome at exactly the same time as Caravaggio and his carefully observed night scenes were a huge influence on baroque art.#Elsheimer

Saint of the day is St Roch - San Rocco in Italian. He's the patron saint of plagues. According to legend, St Roch, survived the plague and was nursed by a dog in a forest. Plague victims had sores on their legs. So in art, Roch usually shows us his boils. Good guy to pray to.
