So good! The revelation that is Grosvenor Square in public garden mode. Bliss.
Quick taster visit. Liking the emphasis of the displays. And the unfurling of the building on its modest site.
Really delighted to receive a copy of this and to thank Mark Crinson for kicking off with Ian Nairn. A midsummer treat.
Hail to this volume. Inexplicably under the radar but gold standard team work on the 19th monograph within the heroic Survey of London.
Those hands. Caravaggio’s St Jerome in the cathedral in Valletta.
Remember Fleet Street? Spot the heritage building and public space [sic] and weep.
These boots aren’t going anywhere. Nice tale of Trumpian non delivery as reported by AFP.
Tiny panel painting, done on the spot. Young Constable did many of these - an instantaneous and vivacious record of where his eye led him. For me the Tate Britain Turner-Constable exhibition stand-outs. See what you think?
The glory that is Rousham garden. Be aware, its peerless landscape setting is facing a serious threat.
Glorious Titian panel at the Scoletto (little Scuola) at San Antonio Padua. Look carefully. It is sublime.
This is how the Fondazione Querini Stampali has chosen to welcome home its exquisite Giovanni Bellini. Outrageous and inexplicable.
Green grew the pavements, oh! For older pedestrians, a zone of continuous peril. Thanks a bunch. One very near death experience in these days, enough.,
Eden Dock, Canary Wharf. Transformative landscape. Seen in perfect conditions, with thanks to the London Society. Join, why don’t you?
My friend and university contemporary, the wonderful Efi Strousa, is being celebrated at the National Gallery in Athens. She made things happen.
The front, Temple Mill. Signs of progress at last? #britishlibrary
Very happy to see this. Rooflights of Marshall’s Temple Mill, Holbeck. #BritishLibrary #Disraeli #Soane can it be about to turn the corner to reuse?
Fifty years ago my #villagesofvision was published. And look what 50 years has done to it (and me)
Crescents don’t come much better than this. Frobisher, in the Barbican
