Though 'The Game-Keeper's Daughter,' (1886) appears to have been painted directly from life, Edward Walton made it from a series of small sketches which he later worked up in his studio at Cockburnspath in the Scottish borders.

The Cawston rood screen, Norfolk. A sequence of 20 painted figures on the dado ('not good' - @YalePevsner) are the work of at least two artists. As often in Norfolk, the four Latin Doctors on the gates guard the chancel. 1/3

Iconic shot encapsulating euphoria of revolutionary summer of 1936, La Rambla in front of Boqueria market. Recently we've learnt it's by Barcelona photographer Antoni Campañà and her name was Ana Garbín and was 21. She died in exile in France, 1977, anarchist and Catholic. Colourised: JuliusBackmaan

Von der Leyen is giving a properly powerful and defiant speech at the Munich conference. Call to action and arms for the European States and says that Ukraine's accession to EU will be sped up. A definite broadside against US appeasement of Putin, too.
She's knocking it out of the park.

99yrs ago today JOHN LOGIE BAIRD gave the first public demonstration of true television images for members of the Royal Institution and a reporter from The Times - in his laboratory at 22 Frith Street, Soho (above what’s now the world famous Bar Italia coffee shop).

Timoclea of Thebes throws man who raped her down a well. She next hurled in heavy stones until he was dead. Painted in 1659 by Elisabetta Sirani of Bologna, who had a thing for assertive heroines.

Good symbolism in Paris today. At Macron’s invitation, Keir Starmer is the first UK leader to attend the Nov 11th Armistice commemoration at the Arc de Triomphe since Churchill in 1944

The Battle of Trafalgar happened on this day in 1805.
And on this day in 1905, Southampton’s Trafalgar Dry Dock was opened.
It was the largest dry dock in the world at the time and it was later enlarged. Last used for ship repairs in the 1980s; since then it has been filled in.
