@DrJaninaRamirez @iplayer Wonderful! So lovely that you looked at both the history of Iznik and how the art form is being brought up to date. 💙

The provenance of this 13C carved stone head is uncertain but most likely from one of the vanished churches of Senlis, Normandy, France. Now in the town’s excellent museum. #FindsFriday #FridayFaces

Piglet thought they ought to have a Reason for going to see everybody, like Organizing an Expotition, if Pooh could think of something.
Pooh could.
“We’ll go because it’s Thursday,” he said, “and we’ll go to wish everybody a Very Happy Thursday.” ~A.A.Milne

Extraordinary 16C (restored 19C) stained-glass window at St Martin’s, Villaquier, Normandy. The scene of a naval battle of 1523 is fabulous, showing Spanish ships attacked for the Mexican treasure they in turn had plundered. #StainedGlassSunday
