HUNTINGTON LIBRARY ARTICLE #4: “BLUE BOY” AND “PINKIE” AND SOME OF THE GREATEST PAINTINGS OF THE 19TH CENTURY: GAINSBOROUGH, ROMNEY, LAWRENCE, AND REYNOLDS
These great 18th century masterpieces are some of the most important paintings of the 18th century. My favorite? LAWRENCE’S “SARAH SIDDONS AS THE TRAGIC MUSE”–without question!

KENWOOD HOUSE ART COLLECTION MAKING FRIENDS IN AMERICA UNTIL SEPTEMBER
I have been putting together articles lately about the great houses around London. Another of these great estates is Kenwood House in north London. I have enjoyed visiting this historic residence for years because of the stunning Robert Adams Library and the fine paintings. I want to warn travelers to London this year that the house will be closed until 1 September because of necessary restorations and conservation. While the conservation work is being done, the Kenwood House Art Collection will be making friends in the United States–returning to London early September. In the meantime, the great lawns are spectacular for a picnic or a game of soccer to stretch travelers legs. You will recognize the facade of the house because it played prominently Jane Austen movies and in the movie NOTTING HILL. Here is a bit of history about this lovely house, so much the work of Robert Adams, and the fabulous art collection.

THE WEISS GALLERY, 59 JERMYN STREET, LONDON — A visit will change your life!
I have written several times that London art galleries should be a part of a trip to London. The WEISS GALLERY on Jermyn Street is a perfect place to start. I thought I would highlight a few of their paintings to give you an idea of the quality of this gallery. I enjoy it very much.

APSLEY HOUSE: CANOVA’S MARBLE “NAPOLEON” AND ITS PLASTER CAST IN MILAN
APSLEY HOUSE is one of the least visited museums in London. I visit Apsley House at least once a year, and rarely is there anyone there. The Duke of Wellington’s collection is outstanding: china, silver, paintings, medals, uniforms, on and on. When I ran across this article this morning, I decided that I had to give Apsley House another post on this blog to encourage people to enjoy this historic museum.
