#OnThisDay in 1849, Edgar Allan Poe passed away under mysterious circumstances. Of all the artists who gave life to Poe's macabre tales over the years, perhaps none captured them quite so brilliantly as the Irish artist Harry Clarke: publicdomainreview.org/collection/h... #OTD #EdgarAllanPoe

Last one for today. There is something almost primeval about this photograph of Stainburn Forest, on Lindley Moor, between Otley and Harrogate. It has a raw, unfiltered beauty of its own. Image: The Grim North, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0

Finding myself beginning to be troubled with wind as I used to be, and in pain in making water, I took a couple of pills that I had by me of Mr. Hollyard’s.

Gustav Klimt @klimtgustav.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

In The Swamp (1900), Klimt uses dense surfaces and dark tones to depict nature without comfort. He also removes the horizon, trapping the viewer in a thick mosaic where water and weeds become a single, suffocating pattern.

Visually, it immediately takes me back to the (1608) ice-skating scene in Sally Potter's Orlando. Apologies for the intrusion.

The Garden of Petit Gennevillers, the Pink Roofs www.wikiart.org/en/gustave-caillebo…

"The Garden of Petit Gennevilliers, the Pink Roofs" by Gustave Caillebotte captures a vibrant garden scene with lush greenery and striking red and pink roofs in the background. This Impressionist artwork reflects Caillebotte’s keen interest in natural light and his innovative approach to perspective.

I had just started Diana Athill's Stet when @susiedentwords.bsky.social's Guilty by Definition came in the post. Paused the Athill, read the Dent (v. good, unsurprisingly), resumed the Athill (also v. enjoyable).

I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you.

A note on the TLS website saying that an essay entiled 'AI and the crisi of the author' by Anchit Sathi has been removed because AI 'was used in its preparation'. TLS editorial guidlines prohibit the use of AI in writing and editing, although the author states that he was unaware of the policy.

Silver/gold, delicate/chunky... At surface level, there is no sign that the bracelet would be a later addition. But then, I am no expert. I was immediately drawn to her (emotional art lover here), and did not pay much for her portrait. Win win situation.

So, a later addition, you think?

Pauline in the Yellow Dress (1944) by Herbert James Gunn (Scottish artist, lived 1893–1964). The model is the artist’s wife. Her glamour and enigmatic smile caused a sensation in wartime London, the 'Mona Lisa of 1944'.
