A glorious quick research trip to Rome. Went to solve one question; came back with a zillion ‘new project’ ideas. The Counter-Reformation was the best art movement ever! Fight me but it’s true.

Lovely day yesterday doing some prep for teaching our London Museum’s module by racing around NHM, V&A, and Tate Britain (in one morning)! Good for the spirit, if not the feet.

This has just sent me into the forbidden peanut butter jar ... A letter from Bordeaux's slave traders in 1790 worried about the National Assembly's 'intention to abolish the slave trade. Some of their arguments: some were already slaves anyway, we actually saved them.
