On the way back from the Philip Mould Gallery, last year, I popped into the Royal Academy to renew an old acquaintance with ‘Flaming June’ by Lord Leighton, a copy of which hangs on my bedroom wall, and which is on one of its rare visits to the UK. There is also the statue of the Sluggard and it’s all free to view.
It is days like this, that you realise what a wonderful thing it is to live in London. All this superb art, and all without laying out a penny (travelling on my free travel pass too!).
I wrote about late Victorian Painters and pre-Raphaelites in a post you can read here.
This post was first published as part of my Mary Beale, the painter, post, which you can see here:
