Every winter the Dutch hope for freezing temps so we can skate again! On this painting by Hendrick Avercamp people are playing 'kolf' – basically 17th-century ice hockey. On the left some have fallen through the ice and in the middle a woman takes a tumble, flashing more than she planned. 😅

Word of the day, should you be feeling a little huffish, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude and the desire to be away from other people.

ARRIVAL was released 9 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great science fiction movies of the 21st century, and among the most popular of director Denis Villeneuve, the story of how it was made may change the way you perceive time… 1/52

Cup of water and a rose: mundane, yet almost visionary. Useful too if you just need something calming, from Francisco de Zurbarán.

REAR WINDOW was released 71 years ago today. One of the most enduring Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, and among the most popular films of James Stewart and Grace Kelly, the story of how it was made might give you the feeling you’re being watched… 1/40

Things are about to get a bit ancient. I baked these biscuity sherds on a hemisphere cake tin in an attempt to recreate Ancient Greek pottery fragments in all three dimensions. The originals, dating from c.1600-435 BCE, can be found in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum.

Delftware tiles! There were hundreds of fabulous examples to choose from in the Victoria & Albert Museum’s online catalogue, but I eventually settled on nine. These 18th-century ships, shepherds, castles, figures, and flowers brought me joy. I hope they’ll do the same for you, too.

‘History says, Don’t hope On this side of the grave. But then, once in a lifetime The longed-for tidal wave Of justice can rise up, And hope and history rhyme.’ Seamus Heaney was born on this day in 1939.
