The Ashmolean's COLOUR exhibition is fantastic. I was too dazzled by the iridescence to take photos, but I was much taken with shades of blue: Ruskin's kingfisher's wing, Millais's blue velvet, and Anna Atkins's vivid cyanotypes. Go, go, go again!

Apparently, his preparation for Love's Meinie involved 'a care in plume drawing which I learned in many a day's work from Albert Dürer'. So... not a homage but an emulation?
