The Oudry has returned from Versailles.
An inspiring new exhibition at the National Gallery curated BY young people FOR young people.
Last week we wished bon voyage and au revoir to Jean-Baptiste Oudry’s Indian Blackbuck and Three Pointers (1745) when it travelled to the Palace of Versailles on loan. It is one of the highlights of their upcoming exhibition Les Animaux du Roi which runs until the end of February.

This formidable grand dame casts a stern eye over all who enter the Library at Russborough, but who was she and what is her story?
In the current heat we can't help but think that if the Russborough ice house was still in operation we could relocate there to stay cool.
Visitors to the House are now greeted in the Entrance Hall by a very illustrious lady indeed. This arresting grande dame who occupies the principal niche of the hall, is non other than the Venus Genetrix.
