The Rex Whistler trophy in the Blue Room at Trent Park. Executed in about 1930.one of these images shows the room before Whistler's work. When finished, the house had a very different feel to Philip Sassoon's earlier house, Port Lympne. @cliveaslet described Trent as having "an appreciation of English reserve". I was lucky enough to be asked to do the analysis of the room, having only known it through old family photographs. #rexwhistler #philipsassoon #houghtonhall #trentpark #cliveaslet #portlympne #winstonchurchill #bevan #trophy #paint #restoration #countrylife #antiquecollector #cholmondeley #1930sdecoration #1930sphotography (at Trent Park)

If nothing else, I will rest contented to be known as the man who changed the colour of the railings at the Old Royal Naval College from Black to Bronze Green. #greenwich #royalnavalcollege #bronzegreen #black #railings #ironwork (at Old Royal Naval College)

Robert Polhill Bevan (1865-1925). Whisky and Soda. 1914. This is a rare still life by Bevan. In common with several of his Camden Town Group colleagues, Bevan's approach to still-life painting (the close-up presentation, the angled viewpoint, the casual cutting of the composition and the use of outline drawing) reveals the definite, if muted, influence of Gauguin and Cezanne. Bevan had worked with Gauguin in the 1890s. #robertbevan #gauguin #camdentowngroup #cezanne #stilllife #whiskyandsoda #whisky #soda

OTD 1683 the Battle of Vienna took place on Kahlenberg Mountain, near Vienna, after the city had been besieged by the Ottoman Empire for two months. The battle was fought by the Hapsburg Monarchy, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Holy Roman Empire, under the command of King John III Sobieski. The battle marked the first time that the Commonwealth and the Holy Roman Empire had cooperated militarily against the Ottomans, and is often seen as a turning point in history, after which 'the Ottoman Turks ceased to be a menace to the Christian world'. An ancestor, Franciszek Tuchołka, was one of the 'Winged Hussars' who charged. His arms are amongst those of the 102 noblemen who took part in the Battle which are displayed in the Sobieski Chapel on Kahlenberg. #siegeofvienna #battleofvienna #kahlenberg #franciszektuchołka #jansobieski #sobieskichapel #ottomanempire #wingedhussars #poland #hapsburg #holyromanempire (at Kahlenberg)
