The Garden of Earthly Delights
Hi-res interactive version of Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights.
Just outstanding, and this really is hi-res, you can see every crack and stroke, plus it has audio commentary and further reading for a number of details.
I’ve mostly picked from the pleasant side, one from the not-so-pleasant, I’ll let you explore the rest at your leisure.

Evolution by Blu
A new mural at Cassa Dei Pazzi in Rome by the incredible Blu, more at Street Art Views.
(via Collosal)
An exhibition looking at ways in which attitudes towards genius are manifested in a number of remarkable books and manuscripts, and exploring how works of genius found in a university library can be acquired, collected and read.
It opened with a few references to genius but very quickly turned into an exercise in showing off some of the Bodleian’s treasures. To be honest it got a little ridiculous:
A Magna Carta of 1217, Newton’s Principia Mathematica, a Gothenburg Bible, Pliny’s Natural History, the watercolour cover Tolkien painted for The Hobbit, Shelley’s draft of Frankenstein, a First Folio, Audobon’s Birds of America, MS Bodley 764, so much more…
It really was just showing off! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Oxford.
