The Ladder of Virtue. Not sure I will ever make it

The Ladder of Virtue. Not sure I will ever make it to the top, assisted by angels, where paradise awaits me. I’ll probably slip off through the rungs into the arms of the demons below. This fresco (1596) on the north wall of Sucevita monastery is my favourite of all the famous painted monasteries in Bucovina. The church (see second picture) is also more grand than the other monasteries in this region bordering Ukraine. #bucovina #rumania #roemenië #paintedchurches #sucevita #renaissanceart #moldavia #angels #bukovina

No, this is not a bus stop with a graffiti wall. This is a painted monastery church (1530) in Bucovina, Romania. This northeastern part of the country is particularly worthwhile for its churches with lively biblical depictions on the outside. This is the Humor monastery outside Gura Humorului.
Second picture is the famous West wall with its depiction of the Last Judgement.

Reggae pioneer producer extraordinaire Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry died. I was a massive fan and was lucky to interview the Jamaican legend. Listen to my truly wacky conversation recorded at the Jazz Café in London. The item was made for ABC public radio Australia. Link in bio

Roundway Down, the location of an Iron Age hill fort and a battle (1643) during the English Civil War. The Royalists famously defeated a much larger Parliamentarian force situated on the the steep hill. My Lab/German pointer is a bit of a history buff and loves coming here.#wiltshire #roundwayhill #greatwestway #devizes #battlefield #ironagefort #englishcivilwar #labradorsofinstagram #mistymountainhop #germanpointer

Apparently this is a sitting tiger. I think this impressive bronze mortar looks more like the incredibly aggressive American Bulldog with his equally bellicose owner that I met this morning on the Kennet & Avon canal tow path. I told the owner in no uncertain terms to control his threatening dog. The pugnacious dog owner promised to come back and beat me up after he’d taken his barking mad dog home. I didn’t see him again. I’m secretly wishing that the attack dog mauled his unpleasant master upon their return home. This 10-inch bronze mortar was found in an Indian fort in Karnal in 1838. It was meant to be fired at the colonising Brits but remained unfinished. It can be found in Fort Nelson’s impressive Royal Armouries museum. It is home to the national collection of artillery. #fortnelson #artillery #bronzeart #mortar #royalarmouries #Hampshire #tigerart #killerdog #fareham

Giacometti and Marilyn, two priceless artists. Five heads and a study of a walking man. Just a few doodles made in the early 60s, but today worth tens of thousands of dollars. A large elongated sculpture (Grande Femme I) by Albert Giacometti sold recently for more than $90 million.
This magazine and Quatre figurines sur piedestal (next picture) could until recently be seen in Moderna Museet’s exhibition Face to Face. Due to coronavirus restrictions the museum has closed for the foreseeable future. #modernamuseet #stockholmart #giacometti #marilynmonroe #doodlesofinstagram #sculptureartist #albertogiacometti #museumfromhome #walkingman

Sweden continues to go its own way. It’s seems to work. Well, at least a bit better than on the Continent and much better than in chaotic UK. Had to check it out for myself. You know what I’m talking about. #mälaren #settingsun #brygga #goyourownway #coronasunsets #autumnvibes🍁 #höst

Debbie Harry and Andy Warhol were good friends. He photographed her many times. She was adopted and daydreamed that Marilyn Monroe was her real mother. The third picture is a model of Warhol’s Silver Factory in New York. The walls and ceiling of this loft studio in Soho were covered in silver foil and silver paint. The Debbie Harry silkscreens can be seen at Tate Modern until 15 November. #debbieharry #tatemodern #andywarhol #andywarholsilverfactory #marilynmonroe #adopted #loft #londonexhibition
