All in a row. So, as long as my background check clears, I now have a job with - the portrait of a lindsey. Theres always something magic, theres always something new. Of a prim, prudish bourgeois. She had no talent for expression and too little of the consciousness of genius. She only had a general idea that people were right when they treated her as if she were rather superior. Than theirs, and this encouraged an impatience that might easily be confounded with superiority.". Ooh la la, lindsey. Want to...

Barbara Villiers & Charles Fitzroy Portrait (National Gallery Appeal): restoration
http://restoration.livejournal.com/17872.html
Barbara Villiers and Charles Fitzroy Portrait (National Gallery Appeal). Wwwnpg.org.uk/live/prduchessappeal3.asp. Hello, or rather, Good morning all,. I'm thrilled to have found a corner of Livejournal concentrating on my favourite century. It is a really interesting portrait in that this was the only time in 17th century England (i.e during Charles II's reign) that such a commission would have been realised from the limited bits that I know as a beginner interested in 1600-1700.

Short Non-Fic Review: _Dr. Simon Forman_: restoration
http://restoration.livejournal.com/17386.html
Short Non-Fic Review: Dr. Simon Forman. Dr Simon Forman: a most notorious physician. Forman died in 1616 but was implicated in trials lasting years after his death, so would have been a household name (if demonised, although erroneously) for the average Jacobean Londoner. I have immediately picked up my next read, The Herbalist. About Nicholas Culpepper which conveniently begins right about where the Forman book ended. Post a new comment.

Rochester portrait in NYC: restoration
http://restoration.livejournal.com/17535.html
Rochester portrait in NYC. In case anyone's interested, there is a portrait of John Wilmot, the 2nd Earl of Rochester in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. I'd always read it was in the National Portrait Gallery in England, but I guess not. I just happened to wander by it; it's in a room with a carved oak staircase from the period, a very nice Thos. Tompion. Longcase clock, and two Lely portraits. Were I (who to my cost already am. One of those strange prodigious Creatures Man. I'd be a Dog.
