#Hogarth’s self portrait of 1735 stopped me in my tracks at @YaleBritishArt. What total self confidence, in the assertive gaze, and the freedom with which he handles the paint.
The eye of Countess Golovina at the @BarberInstitute. Perhaps the most wonderful of Vigée Le Brun’s Russian portraits, painted in Moscow around 1797-1800: direct, assertive, intelligent, seductive... #VigeeLeBrun
Mesmerised by #Købke’s portrait of his friend, the landscape painter Frederik #Sødring, aged 23 in 1832. Direct, brilliantly composed. One of the most brilliant portraits of an artist of the 19th century? My favourite picture at the @Hirschsprungske in Copenhagen.
Details of the fabulous #Delacroix oil sketch for ‘La Liberté guidant le peuple’ coming up for sale next week at @ChristiesInc. Such virtuosic vitality!
The stunning 'Portrait of Hassan El Berberi, Keeper of Mehmet Ali Pasha's Giraffe' by Dubufe sold at #FriezeMasters by @Colnaghi1760
Wonderfully elongated feet & multicoloured tiles in Signorelli's 1490-1 'Circumcision'. Come see it in #GalleryA at the @NationalGallery
Kiefer's mysterious 'Family Pictures' (2013-17), a monumental group of 16 #Dioramas telling intertwined stories: past/present dreams/reality
Cézanne's career in hands: details from @MuseeOrsay's #CezannePortraits exhibition
Degas sketching the races & Berthe Morisot in Maurice Denis's study for his history of French art ceiling for @PetitPalais_ #MuséeDelacroix
Breathtaking to see Raphael's studies for his 'Massacre of the Innocents' print & I'd loose my head for these two heads... #RaphaelDrawings
