I found the Bill Brandt/ Henry Moore exhibition really stimulating. Brings out the close dialogue between the two artists and between sculpture and photography. A journey through bomb shelters in the blitz, coal mines, Stonehenge, and abstract shapes on the beach. On until 31 May

And some of the more surrealist imagery in the permanent collection...

Lots to see at the excellent #BritishBaroque @Tate - so much in fact I’ll go back for a 2nd visit. Many new discoveries and rarely seen art works, revealing richness of late-Stuart culture.

Greatly enjoyed Rembrandt’s Light @DulwichGallery (be quick, closes Sunday). Rembrandt is known for his mastery of light and shade, but DPG’s show creates an immersive experience in which even familiar faces shine anew. He is a magician, we fall under his spell.

Some highlights from Sotheby’s Old Master sale tomorrow.
First, a fine study of a philosopher by Joseph Wright of Derby, probably late1760s. Wright employed a number of older men as models for the grey-haired sage figures in his paintings. This one hasn’t cleaned his fingernails!

St Andrew, polychrome limestone, 1475-1500, attributed to Diogo Pires (active 1473-1513). In the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga in Lisbon. Portuguese sculpture but following Burgundian artistic conventions, including iconography of saltire. #StAndrewsDay

Friends of the Department of Prints & Drawings @britishmuseum Autumn Party this evening. A chance to look at new acquisitions and current shows. Käthe Kollwitz, Grayson Perry, Edward John Poynter, David Hockney. Great to see John Christian Collection, acquired this year.

René Magritte’s “Le seize septembre” (1957), sold for remarkable $19.7m at Christie’s NY yesterday. The solitary tree, invoking primeval forests and Yggdrasil, the “world ash” of Norse mythology, enigmatically combined with the transient crescent moon.

Two William Hodges oil sketches of Tahiti, at Christie’s Topographical sale today. Vaitepiha Bay and Matavie Bay. Both painted during Cook’s 2nd voyage 1772-5. Here Hodges captured expansive skies & brilliant light of tropics, but before classicising additions in exhibited works.

OTD, 1415, the Battle of #Agincourt
L: miniature from C15th French manuscript, shows evenly matched battle (far from truth).
R: John Gilbert’s “Morning of the Battle of Agincourt” (1884, Guildhall Art Gallery) imagines a dejected English army, knowing it is impossibly outnumbered
