The realism and psychological intensity of William Strang's work is thanks largely to the particular influence of Alphonse Legros who he studied under at the Slade. An intensity of colour came to dominate Strang's output in the latter half of his career.

Graffiti is pretty awful but by far not a 21st century phenomenon. And to be honest: can also be highly interesting for future generations, especially when you look at ancient graffitis.

Painted from 1861-66, Martin Johnson Heade's 'Haystack at Sunset,' invites us to explore nature - a rowing boat placed in the central foreground provides entry into the scene and the sunset appears to emphasise the purity, perhaps the divinity, of the landscape.

Ich verabscheue diese Bilder so sehr. Nicht, weil Memling ein schlechter Maler war, sondern weil ich weiß, dass der Mann rechts, Tommaso Portinari, 42, die 14-jährige Maria Baroncelli geheiratet hat. Ich weiß, dass es damals üblich war, aber... ja, ich kann mir nicht helfen, ich finde es abstoßend.

Put your phones away and grab yourself a good book! It's worth it. Definitely something I will do this evening.

We don't have snow like that anymore which is sad. But the climate during the 17th century was not so pleasant either: "The little ice age" caused snowy winters but also famine and epidemics due to the colder climate.

Goodnight. It’s Krampusnacht and my birthday, but am actually exhausted from coughing endlessly with this chest infection thing so off to bed.

In the 1500s book printing became common. But the art of calligraphy was still highly valued. Croatian-born Georg Bocskay wrote his "Model BoBocskaok of Calligraphy" (1561-62) to show his technical mastery.

Albert Edelfelt was the leading proponent of Finnish Realism. The first Finnish artist to gain international renown in his own lifetime for painting scenes like this.

I find the play of colours on the snow - pink and blue and grey and yellow in contrast to the dark blue sky - absolutely mesmerizing. Also, I love wolves.
