What a brilliant review. It’s interesting to see your suppositions slipping into fact, and since they are all to JV’s advantage, that’s excellent! Great to have a review by someone who themselves seems so knowledgable sand deft. Hope it can go on the website.
I was a bit disappointed by the Gillian Tindall but because I was hoping for more information which was a bit daft of me. I would have preferred the afterword to have been a foreword.
We are staying in the Vanbrugh hotel in Oxford tonight, prior to an early morning portrait sitting-oral history recording combined at Merton College with the mathematician who solved Fermat’s Last Theorem. x
Yes, I was impressed by how Robin Simon had managed to extract, summarise and digest all the key aspects of the book. Enjoy the Vanbrugh hotel ! Charles
The new edition of Art Quarterly, containing your article on Vanbrugh, arrived in my letterbox today. I’m guessing that, given the number of people with an Art Pass, it’s a publication that must have a very wide reach.
