Dear Reader, *

I salute you, for you have stumbled upon a floating island of ideas that may or may not contain treasures equal to those described in sumptuous Valois inventories. Do not hesitate to map the amenities offered by this garden of delights, following the trail left by the golden gift of your attention. Indulge, criticise, reminisce. And if the words of this place put a taste of ambrosia on your lips, join in for a shared feast in an art lover’s mind palace.

What do we do?

Cultivate and cherish beauty. It really is as simple as that. This digital locus aims to provide a sophisticated space for thinking about art and the ways in which one might enjoy it. We aspire to be a good-morning read, whatever time your morning happens. Written with grit, to be consumed with curiosity.

  • Reviews of cultural events, not limited to those at the ROH. Theatre productions are included too.

  • The Unchained section: no rules, no expectations.

  • Object-based essays of art-historical and literary kinds.
