I have seen this piece of 'Artwork' and it's err,.... Colourful. But I fail to see any connection with the original

Lady Venetia Digby by Van Dyck, painted in 1633.


Perhaps you have to stand a stare at it like those Hidden 3D picture books that were popular 10 years ago or so. ?

No, its not like that, although that sort of thing would make a very good wall. I attach an image of the wall and painting side by side. Compare them and you will be able to see the connection. Lady Digby died in suspicious circumstances, illustrated by the beautiful young rose torn apart on her bed. Van Dyck copied her accurately but added that rose as a symbol of the destruction of love and beauty. MadC picked up on that symbolism and painted only the rose realistically.

It means more when you know this stuff. Im trying to sort out some sort of little notice to have on the wall showing the original Van Dyck.

Thank you for your post IngridB


I'm sorry, but still fail to see any connection.. ?


Antony Van Dyck was indeed a fine talented artist..



The piece at the top of Barry Rd. is colourful and nicer than the Bee.

I prefer to observe it as an abstract and not look at it with any pretentious views on what is supposed to represent.

Trying to read into it things that aren't there.


Just enjoy it..

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
