The works of George Roualt. ‘Crucifixion’, c.1918,
Lithographs after George Roualt printed 1958
Although Georges Rouault a contemporary of Cubism, Expressionism and Fauvism, he never formally associated himself with any of these movements. As an independent he found his inspiration in the realities of everyday life and in religious subjects which he imbued with an authentic spirituality. Early in his career Parisian art dealer, Ambroise Vollard, bought the full contents of Georges Rouault’s studio. The artist agreed on the condition that he could finish his work at his own pace. Most of his works represented circus figures, religious subjects or landscapes.

John Flamsteed was born into a prosperous family but did not attend University due to poor health. Self taught, his extensive studies in astronomy resulted in his being appointed the first Astronomer Royal by King Charles II, with the Royal Observatory at Greenwich being built for him to continue his observations of the heavens. Flamsteed was the first astronomer to sight Uranus in 1690, naming it 34 Tauri, as he believed it to be a star. His Celestial Atlas was published ten years posthumously by his wife. It set the standard in professional astronomy for almost a century, with the positions of over 3,000 stars given more accurately than ever before.£180 each -
