💞Happy Valentine's Day! Today we will be sharing images of Cupid...a little cliché we know - but in a museum full of imagery representing this god of love, we really can't help ourselves! [image: Greuze, A Young Woman Praying at the Altar of Love, 1767]

"We believe in Art
Tho' we’re poles apart
From the fools who are thrilled by Greuze.
We like Beardsley & Green Chartreuse.
...Faded boys, jaded boys, come what may,
Art is our inspiration
And as we are the reason for the Nineties being gay,
We all wear a green carnation."
-Coward

Wallace’s ironic humour is revealed in some of his private letters. E.g. when selling a painting by Greuze, Les Oeufs cassés (‘Broken eggs’), to Lord Dudley in 1875 Wallace agreed ‘the price of the omelette’. [image: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York]

Jean-Baptiste Greuze - The Laundress (La Blanchisseuse) - 1761 - This painting is in the Getty, CA. I almost hesitate to post it here, even though these are great scans, they don’t do the painting justice at all. It’s a remarkable little painting in person
