Yes, these are gorgeous! I remember the artwork caption comment 'It was Noël's view that Satan should be depicted as physically attractive, or where would be the temptation?'. Buff Satan indeed. (Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries 2023 exhibition www.patons-dunfermline.com/exhibition-f...)

Got distracted by how nice this book from @edinburghup.bsky.social is. The full colour pages are amazing and it's just a nice reading experience. Great for some fascinating chapters from contributors to 'The Edinburgh Companion to Romanticism and the Arts' ed. by Maureen McCue and Sophie Thomas

Throw back to the Mary Robinson exhibition I just caught (right at the end, didn't think I was going to see it before it closed!) at the beautiful @chawtonhouse.bsky.social earlier this year. Such a wonderful exhibit, and a lovely place to visit
