What's your favourite spot in the museum? We have to agree with this review - the views are glorious! #FeedbackFriday #Feedback #Review #RussellCotes

@artukdotorg This painting shows a view off Peveril Ridge, Swanage, AD 877. The painting is an imaginative Victorian reconstruction based on an account in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle of a naval battle between Alfred the Great and the Danish fleet of King Guthrum.

The @artukdotorg #OnlineArtExchange theme for this week is 'historical conflicts' for ArmittMuseum's 'A Battle of Ambleside’ exhibition! We've chosen 'How the Danes Came up the Channel a Thousand Years Ago: Off Peveril Ridge, Swanage, AD 877' by Herbert Bone.

@artukdotorg The model is the centre of attention, while Minton shows himself to be a slight and withdrawn figure. Minton was gay at a time when homosexuality was illegal, his outgoing personality was an attempt to cover his resulting depression. Tragically, at 39 he took his own life.

Today, @artukdotorg ’s #OnlineArtExchange is celebrating LGBTQ+ History Month. We’ve chosen John Minton’s Painter and Model (1953). It shows Minton in his studio with his model, actor Norman Bowler, altering the traditional dynamic between the dominant artist and passive model.
