17thc English interiors remain influential. Lucy Watson’s piece in @ftweekend.com champions red. Stuart ceremonial spaces were often dressed in crimson. Paintwork was often varnished for luminosity. Even Oliver Cromwell’s Bedchamber @hamptoncourt.bsky.social was upholstered with incarnadine velvet

There are two known portraits by Titian of Isabella d’Este but only one survives. Luckily for us, Rubens copied this lost portrait in 1605 while he was at the Gonzaga court in Mantua. She wears a headpiece (balzo) apparently to distract us from her ‘d’Este’ double chin www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Last night as part of the London Luminaries series, curator at Emery Walker’s House Helen Elletson showed us how remarkable May Morris was - as a painter, designer, colourist, embroiderer, weaver, writer and actor. Her knowledge and appreciation of nature were translated into all of her designs

Earlier this year, I was awarded a PhD for my thesis ‘Stuart Style: the spatial and decorative impact of Anna of Denmark’s English Privy Lodgings on the development of a dynastic style of interior decoration 1603-1688’. On Monday, I crossed the stage. #stuarts #architecture #interiors #display

Recently, David Lipton argued in a piece for The World of Interiors magazine that interior design deserves more critical analysis. As a specialist of seventeenth-century English royal interiors, I totally agree! I am delighted that they shared my thoughts on their Instagram story today. #interiors

#otd in 1660, a ball and a banquet were held for Charles II in the United Provinces. Both are included in this picture. He had been invited by Parliament to reclaim the throne. Since before his father’s execution in 1649, he had been living in France, Germany and the Spanish Netherlands. #stuart

It was a beautiful day in Amsterdam yesterday for King’s Day. The Westerkerk (featured here) opened in 1631. Designed by Hendrick de Keyser. Govert Flinck, Rembrandt and Melchoir d’Hondecoeter are buried there among others #17thcenturyarchitecture #kingsday

I heard @lauracummingart.bsky.social discuss Thunderclap @ealingbookfestival.bsky.social. Our first encounter with a picture remains part of our viewing experience, remembering when and where we saw it and who we were at the time, no matter how often we revisit it #mindfulness

Hot off the press and available tomorrow! It was a treat to celebrate the launch of The Sun Rising with Anna @dauntbooks.bsky.social tonight. Her scholarship sheds fresh light on James VI & I’s global outlook and his ambition to link Great Britain with the world.

The real tennis court at Hampton Court Palace is 400 years old this year - the oldest in England. It was built for Charles I in 1625. Despite his perpetual reputation of being physically weak, Charles was an avid tennis player. Courts were at Windsor and Whitehall, too #anniversary #royalpalace
