Rosalind Ormiston

I am an art & architectural historian, arts & travel writer with books published on art movements, such as Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and the Dutch Golden Age (not a movement but...) And, artists including the fabulous Dutch painters Hieronymus Bosch, Johannes Vermeer, Vincent van Gogh and Rembrandt van Rijn; the Renaissance Masters: Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo; plus the uniquely talented Paul Gauguin, William Morris, Egon Schiele and Edward Hopper. 

Some 2019 magazine features:  

August 2019 issue of Italia! magazine has a 7-page feature' Come to Como', which includes top places on Lake Como,  Lombardia, Italy, to visit. I included the fabulous Bellagio; exquisite gardens of Villa Melzi, and my favourite, Villa del Balbianello. (See three images on carousel above.) I want to live there.

April issue of Kent Life has a 4-page feature on Vincent van Gogh, relating to the brief but relevant period he spent in Ramsgate in 1876, years before he became an artist. It coincides with the Tate Britain exhibition 'Van Gogh and Britain' (until 11 August, 2019)
