Book cover. The Foreign Invention of British Art by Leslie Primo, published by Thames & Hudson. Full cover image is detail Hans Holbein the Younger 'The Ambassadors'.
Very excited to come home to this today - The Foreign Invention of British Art by @artfirstprimo.bsky.social. First flick through looks brilliant & makes me feel it'll be a good companion to @bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social's 'invention' 🥰
(now I wish I didn't have such a brutal week & could just read)

Morning. Starting off today with a bit of @artfirstprimo.bsky.social on Joshua Reynolds, Laura Mvula on soothing sounds and a frothy coffee on waking me up a bit.
