A major coup for Hull Ferens Art Gallery for those cultured of us on here. A nice work of art. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-23339754
Pity they couldn't have a sunny day picture of the art gallery (it looks a bit bleak there). As for the painting - I dropped Art at school first chance I could (only 2 years at Secondary school - having to suffer that subject), so I'm not the best judge but it's only ok. I prefer English Country scenes - maybe something by Constable or even a Lowry for a town/city scene, still lifes and portraits leave me cold.
It's impressive, but I thought that Da Vinci stuff was more of a coup. But I'm a man of science, so I'm biased
It was, but you needed a halogen backlight on your TV to see what was going on half the time. Why on Earth it was shot so dark is beyond me. Incidentally, really enjoying reading Inferno at the moment.
