Towering figure in British landscape painting Richard Wilson was born #OnThisDay in 1714. We look after his Diana and Callisto - the mythological subject is his excuse to present us with enticing hybrid Welsh-Italian scenery...

Our art department riffing on the #FestivalofArchaeology theme: Rev. James Bulwer's Views of Stanton Drew from the early 1800s...

Today #MuseumsUnlocked explores seascapes. There are some wonderful examples in our collection: Willem van de Velde's A 'Smalschip' with Sail Set at Anchor Close to the Shore, 1650s; Francis Danby's Sunset at Sea after a Storm, 1824; and Gustave Courbet's Eternity, c.1865-69

JMW Turner was born #OTD in 1775. When he was still a young student at the Royal Academy schools in 1791, Turner came to Bristol to visit family friends. The Avon Gorge made a huge impression on him and he produced ambitious watercolours such as this one of the Hotwells.

Girolamo da Santacroce, 1525: Mary Magdalene mistook the risen Christ for a gardener as she wept near his empty tomb. When Jesus called her name, she recognised him, and he told her: 'Touch me not (in Latin: Noli me tangere), for I am not yet ascended to my father'.

Today is Easter Sunday and we have an appropriate picture from our collection for you - one of the wings of the Altarpiece for St Mary Redcliffe: The Three Marys at the Tomb. The huge triptych was painted by William Hogarth, 1755/56. The angel tells them that Christ has risen.

Looking forward to welcoming pupils from @RHSjuniors1 today for their learning session on #Egypt this morning!

“The prints in this exhibition explore the plants, birds, insects and weather that act as powerful symbols of seasonal change in Japanese culture.” #ExploreMW #MuseumWeek #JapanesePrints
