For the 2nd of my Easter special episodes, I spoke to the lovely @JLDraycott about the subject of her new book - Cleopatra Selene! Jane came across her through studying magic and crocodiles, which tells you just how interesting this episode is! https://t.co/velQCo7slI

🥁NEW EASTER SPECIAL EPISODE 🥁

In the first of 2 Easter specials, I interview Dr David Haycock about the life and extraordinary works of Lucy Kemp-Welch (1869-1958). 5 ft Lucy painted huge paintings of working horses, gaining critical acclaim young. https://t.co/xOVBBpGEgl

[Waddesdon Curators @WMCurators]

New on display @WaddesdonManor is this work by Canaletto depicting the Capitoline Hill, which was once the site of most important temple of Jupiter in Rome. Canaletto’s manipulation of space bears witness to his early training as a theatrical scene painter.

Happy Valentine’s Day 💕- hope you all have a better time than Princess Mary Rose Tudor had in her marriage to King Louis XII of France… the ceremony is depicted here in the famous Marriage Tapestry at @hevercastle and was the subject of a podcast episode in my first season.

[Past Matters Podcast @PastMattersPod]

Luckily for her King Louis died three months later allowing her to marry the hunky Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk.

“The second largest tomb belonged to Meri, who held many important titles, such as keeper of the secrets” - what a badass title! https://t.co/5RA3n0gPdc

[Philip Mould @philipmould]

Excited to have just acquired this in States. It is an extraordinarily rare expression of interracial attachment in formal portraiture for the period (American School c.1820). Younger sister(?) holds a copy of Cinderella (symbolic?). Identities & artist are presently a mystery..

Don’t ask me how, but this is somehow my mood today 🤷🏽‍♀️

‘Still Life with Chinese Lidded Jar, Hazelnuts and Orange’ by Simon Luttichuys, c. 1650-1660

[Sylvia Barbara Soberton @SylviaBSo]

I was today years old when I noticed that in this famous painting, Henry VIII is wearing a necklace decorated with letters H.

[Past Matters Podcast @PastMattersPod]

This is the painting my podcast episode was about. Isn’t it a beaut? https://t.co/dKcfBhTk55 #historypodcast #museums #lucykempwelch

[Past Matters Podcast @PastMattersPod]

Very excited to see this upcoming exhibition at the @Russell_Cotes 😃. One of my season 2 podcast episodes was about another Lucy Kemp-Welch painting at the @NHRMuseum and I’ve been dying to see more of her work since! 🐎 https://t.co/ZbqxlQlkJU
