Young Rubens Peale (my namesake!) with his famous geranium. So common now, so rare in 1801. Painted by his brother Rembrandt, who was born on this day in 1778.

Reading Helen Ashton’s 1932 novel Bricks & Mortar, a gentle novel about an architect & his family from the 1890s to the present. It’s remarkably astute about buildings & the architectural profession; brilliantly the main protagonist’s daughter becomes an AA trained Modernist.

Two Angels These once decorated a chapel in the Torre della Gabbia in Mantua. The angels were detached in 1870. They may date about 1328, when Luigi Gonzaga became lord of Mantua, and are important testaments to the enormous influence of Giotto in north Italy. (Met Museum)
