As it's Twelfth Night when all the deccies come down everywhere looks a little bare, so let's have some lavishness. The Forerunner (1920), Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale Lady Lever Art Gallery (A shame this lovely piece is secreted in an alcove at LLAG, but they do have so many riches).

Small but lovely exhibition of Monet's views of the Thames. So many ways he found to treat the same view, showing London in all its Victorian smoggy glory. courtauld.ac.uk/whats-on/exh...
