for some time,
mainly because we have not unpacked mine, we are still waiting for various pieces of furniture to arrive before we unpack everything, but back to today, above is The head of
Leda (c.1505–08), on view at Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, and it is one of a new set of stamps for the UK, the timeless drawings of Leonardo da Vinci will soon be arriving in
mailboxes around the U.K., thanks for a special stamp release marking the
quincentennial anniversary of the Italian artist’s death, in tandem with the
special stamp edition, twelve cultural institutions throughout the United
Kingdom will be showcasing a total of 144 of da Vinci’s works in the dispersed
show Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing, the exhibitions
opened at the beginning of February and are on view through May 6, 2019 in
