  1. Went to the National Gallery; enjoyed the fifteenth-c Death of St Claire, especially the two praying nuns with their obsequial-processionals. But don't get too comfortable with the accuracy of detail -- elsewhere in the image we see Margaret holding her cutiepie of a dragon... #art #ReligiousArt #15thc #medieval #NationalGallery

  2. So I missed my train connection due to some slight delay and got in an extra cathedral and SURPRISE!!! my former colleague Vanessa, now president at Trinity College!!! Also, found a plague votive panels with saints Sebastian and Roche from 1485.

    Hard to be mad about the complications when they have happy outcomes!

  7. Today's blog post uses Jahnabi Barooah Chanchani's assessment of imagery in a Sanskrit devotional text to assess what images might be doing in an Austrian prayerbook of the same period
