2) Petra, 13 April 1858 @V_and_A
(A view from the Great Temple towards the Royal Tombs. As it happens, I was standing in the same place last Saturday, 164 years after Lear painted this watercolour) 3/6

Thanks to @JennyGaschke I am reminded today is the birthday of the English landscape artist, traveller, and poet, Edward Lear (1812-1888).
On 13/14 April 1858 Lear visited Petra and made these watercolour sketches of the famous ruins of the Nabatean city. 1/6

@Ned_Donovan @MPSHeritage There was a portrait of Harry Daley in uniform in the Queer British Art exhibition at the Tate a few years back. The painting is by Duncan Grant and is now in the Guildhall Art Collection.

And Frank Bernard Dicksee’s La Belle Dame Sans Merci from Bristol Art Gallery: “I set her on my pacing steed,/ And nothing else saw all day long,/ For sidelong would she bend, and sing/ A faery’s song.”

Shoes make an interesting subject to paint or draw. My trainers, oil on board

In this oil painting, ‘Near the Mount of Olives, Jerusalem’ (@FitzMuseum_UK), Sargent focuses on the somewhat unreal colours (lilac?) and fluid shapes of the shadows cast on the pale rocks by the setting sun. He makes scant allusion to the landscape's religious connotations. 4/5

Return to @NationalGallery for the first time since 17th March. Some old familiar faces.

Nobody wears shoes in Edward Burne-Jones’s world. But then he paints such excellent feet. Various examples from the 2019 @tate exhibition. #MuseumsUnlocked #PreRaphaelite

In the Lake District for today's #MuseumsUnlocked. First, the wonderful @windermerejetty museum, reopened in 2019. Pair of paintings by Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg, designed to delight a London audience: “Belle Isle, Windermere, in a Calm”(1786) and same “in a Storm” (1785).

The excellent British Baroque exhibition, Tate Britain. But a controversial portrait: Hortense Mancini by Benedetto Gennari (c1684). Public reaction to depiction of enslaved black children led to trigger warnings and Tate rewriting the label. #MuseumsUnlocked @tate @profdanhicks
