We're delighted to welcome Venetian artist Jacopo Bassano's 16th-century painting "The Miracle of the Quails" into the Getty collections.
A grand scale painting rarely seen by the wider public, it depicts an episode of the Miracle of the Quail in the Old Testament.

Dear #twitterstorians friends, I have an extra copy of Patricia Fortini-Brown’s ‘The Venetian Bride’. Do you know of anyone - maybe student, ECR, or in a precarious contract? - who might want it and can’t afford it? I’ll happily post it to them. Thank you.
Prior to her infamous trial for bigamy, Elizabeth Chudleigh was most notorious for her appearance at the Grand Jubilee Ball (in the Venetian manner) at Ranelagh, where she appeared wearing not very much as Iphigenia. The contemporary press had a field day.

To finish on the Venetian theme, here is a man with a tricorn. He looks straight from "Intrigue à Venise". The game where cheating is the game! I should probably draw Madame Zsa-zsa next.

Today is the 700th anniversary of Dante's death - from malaria contracted crossing the Venetian swamps - as far as I can tell sadly unmarked in the UK press, despite the very long and enthusiastic reception of Dante in these islands - from Chaucer to Robin Robertson.
