Rainbows and double-rainbows in John Constable's painting. Some barely there, like sheer veils of colour, some made tactile with thick streaks of vermilion.
At the @royalacademy's beautiful exhibition #LateConstable.

To mark #halloween2021, here are some cute bats drawn by Frederick Crace in c.1815 for the interiors of the Royal Pavilion, Brighton @BrightonMuseums.
He probably copied them from Asian porcelain, such as these mounted Chinese vases in the Saloon (on loan from @RCT). #Halloween
New bats on the block: Join me at a free online talk about the display ‘Designing an Enchanted Palace: The Crace Decorators at the Royal Pavilion’ at @BrightonMuseums.
Thursday, 14 October 2021, 12 noon. #Chinoiserie

Storm 2 of 2 for #MuseumsUnlocked Day122 #Storms: a sublime and picturesque Brighton storm, by none other than JMW Turner. One of very few pictures by him showing the Royal Pavilion. He probably sketched this in 1824 from a boat off the Chain Pier (see Storm 1) @BrightonMuseums
#MuseumsUnlocked Day 116 #Hats, you say? Rich Regency pickings: Hats & bonnets were all the rage. We included several in our 2017 #JaneAusten exhibition @BrightonMuseums Royal Pavilion. Also had repros for trying on.
Model: Curator's own.
Cartoon: Les Invisibles by Gillray,1810
