Spent a wonderful hour this afternoon on a tour of the National Gallery led by my friend Jon.
His love of art shines through with every well researched observation.
It is no accident that a Chinese TV station/producers are interested in capturing his guides.
Can't wait for the resultant fame so that Jon might invite me on a research trip to Bella Italia....
The photo:
Is it any wonder that at one point, Lapis Lazuli was a more precious material than gold?
Ground down into powder, it was used as such a treasured pigment that if you really wanted to show off...you painted onto it.
