Love these rich, warm colours from Paul Gauguin, who was born #onthisday in 1848. Under appreciated during his lifetime, the post-impressionist artist is now known as a great experimenter of colour and for his Synthetis style.

The Cherub Harvesters by François Boucher, who died #onthisday in 1770. I find them just a little bit terrifying, to be honest. If I saw them, I wouldn’t hang around. #gloriousgeorgians
