From a recent visit, sketches from the hand of Sir John Vanbrugh at the @soanemuseum.bsky.social to coincide with #Vanbrugh300

Happy Birthday to Sir John Vanbrugh, born #OTD in 1664!

To mark the occasion, here's another picture from my visit to Castle Howard in July 2025.

Another exhibition I’m very much looking forward to is, Vanbrugh: The Drama of Architecture, beginning in March at Sir John Soane’s Museum.

A created image imagining the architect John Vanbrugh pulling the puppet strings of power attached to Blenheim Palace. In the background are overlays of architectural blueprint drawings.

There are so many exhibitions I am looking forward to this year, and this is definitely one of them:
