While pottering around TEFAF in Maastricht I saw this spectacular Read More

A bureau by Oeben & Riesener, a microscope mounted by Caffieri and one of a pair of vases from the Marquis of Hertford’s collection.... Truly, the 18th century at it’s best!

Fabulous stand!

Astonishing Roman carving...!

I have just spent five wonderful days, sleeping and recuperating, as well as looking at and eating lovely things!
A small group of us, (organised by the brilliant and amazingly calm Karen Stone Talwar of Adventures in Art @adventuresinart ) on a tour that included TEFAF in Maastricht.
Sensational! It was filled with delicious dinners, superb company, warm comfy beds, astonishing antiquities, fabulous paintings, stunning African art, glorious furniture, glittering jewels and marvellous sculpture. This, combined with fascinating contemporary art, made the days fly by too fast ! (Along with trying to avoid a certain cough that seems so fashionable at the moment...!)
Anyway, TEFAF is truly extraordinary. To be able to see, in one place, pictures by Cranach, Bruegel, Durer, Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Boucher, Jan Steen, Picasso, Boutet de Monvel, de Chirico, Mondrian and Basquiat was astonishing! This may sound indulgent, but, together with all the shining silver, rare porcelain, sumptuous jewels, fascinating company and much laughter (as well as seeing furniture by Roentgen that Catherine the Great ordered for Pavlovsk Palace... sigh..) was a true joy and made for a truly, fun, fabulous and unexpectedly relaxing few days...! Sadly, because of all this, coming back to London has a hint of ‘going back to school’ about it...!

I took a picture of this bust of King Louis XVI, as it seemed rather sad and poignant to me....
Over his shoulder, in the mirror reflection, is King Louis XlV, the builder and originator of the palace of Versailles. Because of the wars, foreign policy and astonishingly extravagant spending on the palace, Louis IV and his great grandson Louis XV, left a toxic and terrible legacy for the next monarch, Louis XVl, to sort out, when in 1774, at the age of 19, he acceded to the throne. Ultimately, he, his wife and family paid with their lives, the debt for a way of living his great great Grandfather had engendered.
