"I have tried … to paint trees as tho’ they were human beings" (Paul Nash)
We hope to treat human beings as if they were trees: slow-growing, in need of space and time and a nurturing surrounding ecosystem, every one full of latent majesty.

14 brilliant GPs, Carracci, Michelangelo, Dürer, John Wesley, Emperor Augustus and Sophia Schutz.
Tremendous afternoon thinking through questions of body, identity, personhood and perception.
Also laughing.
Many thanks to @AndrewSchuman for setting it all up.

The #EloquentThings course at @AshmoleanMuseum this week drew together @oxsocsci DPhils from @school_of_arch @OxfordDeptofEd @OxfordCSLS and @oxford_anthro, to learn about the principles and practice of object-based teaching.
And they were absolutely outstanding.

A great pleasure yesterday to welcome 1st year rabbinical students from @LeoBaeckCollege, looking at marriage rings from 15th-century Venice and Transylvania, and Rembrandt’s Hebrew Bible stories including these 4 images for Rabbi Menasseh Ben Israel’s ‘Piedras Gloriosas’ of 1655

We’d like to make the case for 6 as a pretty cool number - because all prime numbers are multiples of 6 (plus or minus 1). 🙂

It really is a treat!
And, equally, it was a treat to look at Turner, Girtin, teapots and hair relics with @CCCOxfordAccess @engfac students this morning.

Such a treat to have the Wilton Diptych in town! After a great object-handling class with Jim Harris on Romantic memory & colonialism, took my students to look at the historical Richard II in preparation for a class on Shakespeare's Richard @AshmoleanUEP @AshmoleanMuseum

Today we are trying to get to @Princeton to visit colleagues at @PUArtMuseum
But now we are in Metuchen NJ.
Because the train was in an earthquake.
Of course.
