This week we will be watching ´the most romantic film of the year´starring Emilia Clarke, who also plays Daenerys Targaryen in HBO´s Game of Thrones. In this film  she lives in the English countryside and her role is completely different so even that is interesting.

The Arts and Crafts Movement in Great Britain

William Morris 1834   1896

Contemporary and friend of artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti and architect Philip Webb, Morris was married to Jane Burden whose beauty is portrayed below in this painting by Rossetti

This is a fascinating generation and Oscar Wilde, twenty years younger, admired him deeply.

Morris trained as an architect but he has many facets which will be explored in this excellent exhibition now on in Madrid. The link below is to whet your appetite. We look forward to our  visit very shortly.
