Last chance to see

The exhibition 'Jan Gossaert's Renaissance' is on at the National Gallery for another ten days. Warmly recommended. Especially to those, like us, who are really pretty ignorant of the Northern Renaissance. Quite a revelation. We learnt a lot, and some of the pictures are just stunning. Beautifully presented (as usual), but also (not so usual for major exhibitions downstairs in the Sainsbury Wing) very quiet — which was important as a lot of the pictures and all the drawings are small scale and so you need to get up close. So, as I said, much recommended.
