It's publication day for my book! "The Art of a Corporation" uses artworks commissioned and collected by the East India Company to help explain its history. You can see most of this stuff in London, in places like @wabbey , the @britishmuseum and @britishlibrary (1/2)

@MulraineArt @metmuseum @NPGLondon Didn’t know that oil. There is an architectural drawing at Yale signed by him. Some less insightful plumbago portraits seem to be by a relative.

[The Walpole Society @WalpoleSociety]

@MulraineArt @metmuseum @NPGLondon Good spot - could well be right. Forster is one of the greatest draughtsmen of all yet hardly known.

Tremendous news that the NPG and Getty have agreed to jointly acquire Reynolds' portrait of Omai. An appropriately international outcome for an international painting. And an amazing fundraising achievement in difficult times. Well done all round.

[Dr Jennifer Howes @jhowesuk]
