I had a little walk up to Graves Gallery in Sheffield on my lunch today, to see the portrait of Shakespeare I'd been hearing about. I'd missed Shakey by 2 weeks but I did see some amazing etchings by Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Piranesi was an architect but he etched these Prisons from inside his mind... which must have been a very interesting place. They look rubbish on screen but in real life they looked amazing, the longer I looked the more I saw and the more I admired his skill.
