@AdeTinniswood @neiljeffares @NationalGallery She might get used to it, of course, and you would be forced to make constant caviar-bearing expeditions; and then again she might capriciously forsake her headdress and wander, naked and insouciant, beneath the Rokeby Venus...

Sometimes a small detail in a painting has as much or even more impact than the complete work itself ~ here’s the totally bereft Mary Magdalene lamenting the death of Christ, in a corner of Giottino di Pietro (aka Giottino)’s Pietà of San Remigio (1365) Uffizi, Florence

Four early coin portraits of Alexander the Great in my collection issued by his generals Ptolemy & Lysimachus after his death. Probably earlier than any surviving sculptural or painted portrait of him. What do you think they are worth?

This is "Lily" by the #HouseofWorth; Countess Greffulhe wore it for her #frockingfabulous photographic portrait by Nadar in 1896. #fashionhistory via Palais Galliera.

@neiljeffares @AdeTinniswood She could sit @NationalGallery , between the Rubens and the Vigée-LeBrun; possibly on a small plinth, with a cushion...

@aniketos0 @davided41633250 They wouldn't look quite so stunning in one's drawing-room, though, would they...?

@aniketos0 @davided41633250 I just really, really like it, regardless of money, and regardless of the fact that I don't have any, anyway... but am not sure that the other side in this deal has any traction at all...🙂 🙂

The unbearable lightness of being #Nero. For a belated #FrescoFriday, this delicate #fresco survives from his #DomusTransitoria. Surviving examples beneath the Cœnatio Jovis confirm the missing parts held blue glass hemispheres to reflect the adjacent #nymphæum.

The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before the restrictions. The speeds are now where they need to be. The restoration began overnight, and by this morning, speeds were already sufficient. This matters: for our frontline logistics, for defending Ukraine against jet-powered “shaheds.”

I thank all Americans and all our partners who took this seriously and truly helped – members of Congress, senators, all the media, the State Department, and the President. Protecting lives matters.

@davided41633250 @aniketos0 Possibly not, as I feel that you are bound to come up with Alexander, in the (unlikely) event that I could come up with more that £80...?

@Pericles494BC @todbooklady @ThomasHammerich @fugitiveink @Donna8Star @CathyRLowe @yoda2035 Golly, that was quick! - did you buy it?

[The Frame Blog @TheFrameBlogX]

@EHChalus Definitely both of those...😐
