| Giovanni Bellini, A Portrait of a Boy, c1475 |
The Barber Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Birmingham houses a remarkable collection of art
including paintings from the 13th century to the 20th
century.
I have visited it for the
first time – drawn by the excellent exhibition of abstract painting: Chance, Order, Change (see entry below). Here are my top ten paintings.
