One nice things about seeing old friends in London is that they know the phrase ‘riding hell for leather’ and use it
I gave the wrap up talk at a day-long conference at the Warburg in London, talking about the Duchy of Lancaster in the late 15th century and what it tells us about the transition from medieval to renaissance government
While ancestrally and theologically I incline to the Roundheads, few paintings call to me spiritually like the Laughing Cavalier
Thanks to taking the day to explore a new gallery, I got a hands on talk about the development of Meissen, Sevres and Limoges porcelain. I love this sort of unexpected and fascinating learning opportunity
I very much like the responses to this and much to absorb. From a cultural perspective this all probably makes sense though I’d be interested in hearing how Holbein & More (others?) fit in
Patron: I want to let people know what I am looking for in a woman without saying it outright
Sculptor: I got you
