(spoken in a deep voice) So glad you showed us the finished 'Jesus washing Peter's Feet' minus the bushy sideburns that appear in the study - not really 1st century Palestine - and which certainly reveal FMB's good taste as well as his historical authenticity.Robert Stephen Parryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03747616730405354161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-65179021715458770442011-09-07T17:52:30.976+01:002011-09-07T17:52:30.976+01:00Ah, it's always best to get the knives out whe...Ah, it's always best to get the knives out when the recipient is hampered by deadness, Fred and Millais are obviously no exception.

He was chucked off the Atheneaum after 40 years and basically probably deserved his obscurity (imho of course).Hermeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968366076064269729noreply@blogger.com
