@DanielDanielyes @1642Author I grew up with Standard Poodles, so know what they’re like!

@1642Author My dad called me this afternoon to discuss your latest podcast about Boye! We are both loving it! 👑⚔️🛡️

@17thCenturyLady @julienaseby No need to be sorry - it’s all perfectly fine :)

@julienaseby @Julesball Oh, sorry!

It was lovely to finally meet @Julesball in person at the Naseby stand at TORM on Sunday. Can't wait to read these!

@17thCenturyLady It was lovey to meet you too!

@emswifthook @17thCenturyLady @_FrancesOwen @battleftrust I work at Naseby Battlefield Project - I’ll look into it.

@17thCenturyLady @_FrancesOwen @Julesball That would be great! I have no idea what it would involve though. Perhaps @battleftrust might have some idea of what we need to do and how we could make it happen?

Hear ye! 'Tis time for #StuartSaturday! Tomorrow, Sun, 8 Mar 2026, is International Women's Day. Let's post about some fascinating seventeenth-century women. Detail from a portrait of Queen Henrietta Maria (1609-1669), 1638, by Sir Anthony van Dyck.

@arthistorynews It seems we have a lot to learn in terms of listening and learning from one another. We must keep trying though gently. I love what you do Bendor - keep on doing :)

@Julesball It would! But they would never, ever do that.

For the British Art Journal, I reviewed the National Gallery's exhibition, 'Joseph Wright of Derby: From the Shadows'. It's a fine show, but repeats a number of mistaken assumptions about Wright, and British 18thC art in general. 1/4

Join us on Saturday 7 or Sunday 8 February for immersive theatre recreating the events of the trials of the men who executed Charles I, in the atmospheric surroundings of an historic court. Book now for 'Royal Revenge: the Trials of the Regicides' at: cromwellmuseum.org/events/royal-r…

@DrFrancisYoung Agreed

I have no connection with Lincoln of any kind, so I don’t say this from favouritism, but I really do think Lincoln is one of the few English cathedrals that isn’t just impressive, but a world-class wonder that stands among the greatest churches ever built

Something I’ve not noticed before on the west front of @LincsCathedral is that someone added 17th-century mitres to these figures of the Apostles - a rare example of post-Reformation ‘enhancement’ of medieval images

Today the National Trust launched an appeal to buy the land around the Cerne Abbas giant. Every appeal needs a graphic totaliser and I’d like to thank our fundraising team for their remarkable self-restraint over what they didn’t choose.

@conno2856 @17thCenturyLady It’s very Vermeeresque, with the light coming through from the window in the left

Pieter de Hooch, Dutch- time in an elegant setting. Painted 1663-5. A direct contemporary to Vermeer although lesser known. This painting shows a quiet intimate moment. Depicting such soft scenes are only achieved by skilled design and a delicate application of paint.
