Very excited to come home to this today - The Foreign Invention of British Art by @artfirstprimo.bsky.social. First flick through looks brilliant & makes me feel it'll be a good companion to @bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social's 'invention' 🥰

(now I wish I didn't have such a brutal week & could just read)

Morning. Starting off today with a bit of @artfirstprimo.bsky.social on Joshua Reynolds, Laura Mvula on soothing sounds and a frothy coffee on waking me up a bit.

Companions in art history seen today @nationalgallery shop @nationalgalleriesscot @hatchards.bsky.social #theforeigninventionofbritishart @storytudorart @jamesfox283 @frannymoyle

The familar sights of Venice from my hotel @pensioneaccademia and out and about on my daily commute to work. But as the sun sets, the costumes come out as Carnival looms. Daybin the life of #theitinerantarthistorian author of #TheForeignInventionOfBritishArt link in bio.

Welcome to a cold, wet, and, of course, damp Venice. A perfect day to visit @museopalazzogrimani to experience the #cabinetofwonders exhibition a rare opportunity to glimpse into the Renaissance mind-set of obsessive collectors. #theitinerantarthistorian
