I will be in London in November and I will be going to see this. This is a surprisingly good article for the Mail on-line about someone who was probably the greatest portraitist of all time (in my opinion):

Over the last year we have had the joy of visiting the Hermitage, the Rijksmuseum, and a number of of major collections of his work.
The brushwork of his late portraits is astonishing....it anticipates the Impressionists and expressionists by centuries.

I agree with you about his brushwork. I envy you the Hermitage. I haven't been there. Yet!

I am indeed Palbert. I could never live too far away from London that I consider the cultural capital of Europe.

I hate you.
Sorry, that was the green eyed monster called jealousy who said that.
Hope you enjoy it. I know I would.
