This is James, Arthur's son, writing on behalf of the Burns family. In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Arthur died peacefully in his sleep, at home, with his loved ones close by. He had been ill for the past three years, but faced his cancer with enormous courage and stoicism

Arthur received wonderful care from the neuroendocrine oncology team at Addenbrooke's Hospital, who also help research this type of cancer.

Until the last few days he had been active and mobile. He never waned in his intelligence and kindness towards others. In the coming week(s) we will post charities to which you may donate in memory of Arthur. 2/3

This thoughtful OA article by @reniechoy on imperial monuments in Anglican churches as encountered by highly articulate representatives of previously marginalised groups well worth a read

Two weeks today until the export bar on Joshua Reynolds’ Portrait of Omai officially ends. Indications are the bar will be extended, and that co-acquisition with @GettyMuseum is possible. Key is to ensure the painting can be viewed for free around the UK - & can tell Mai’s story.
