Virginia Woolf' by Vanessa Bell. Bell's career started gathering pace after Roger Fry’s Manet & the Post-Impressionists show at the Grafton Gallery in 1910. In Paris she had seen the work of Cézanne, Seurat & Degas all of which had an electrifying effect on her world and her art
Future PM, the 3rd Duke of Grafton, had superb friends in high places from an early age. In 1757, George II told the 21 year old: 'I always honoured and loved your grandfather, and lament his loss. I wish you may be like him; I hear that you are a very good boy.' #LuckyDuke
