'Rain on Princes Street,' is one of a small number of Fururist pictures Stanley Cursiter painted in 1913 which capture the sensation of modern life: people, colours, objects, and sounds - these works brought him major critical attention at home.

What's your favourite song about the rain? ☂️☁️
"Crying to the Sky" by Be Bop Deluxe, with that gorgeous guitar solo in the middle and another at the end, terminating in a clap of thunder. Released in 1976.
I could listen to it on a loop and shout about how glorious it is, forever.

I used to work in Southampton Row, and we would go up onto the roof to smoke (back in the days when I still did) and the sight of those rooftops was always a treat. You could also see the roof of the British Museum, close by.
It must have been even more stunning before the bombings.

'Thistles.' (1861) Rosa Brett was one of the many women associated with the pre-Raphaelite story and whose contribution to the movement has never been fully acknowledged; in her lifetime it was common for her to sell pictures under her brother John's name.

"Lo Parot" Horta de Sant Joan, Southern Catalonia, a strong candidate for the oldest olive in Iberia. 1000-1500 years old. I once sat in its shade and imagined salads of Al-Andalus dressed in its young oils.

I was intrigued to see which two of the Vatican’s ten Raphael tapestries were chosen for today’s unprecedented service in the Sistine Chapel. The tapestries are very rarely shown - was Pope Leo XIV conveying any message in the choice?

Henri Fantin-Latour, French painter and lithographer, was able to capture flowers with exquisite realism and as a result, demand was high for his work. Over 30 years, from the 1860s, he produced more than 800 studies of flowers, most of which were displayed in Victorian interiors.
