@christiesinc Head of Department for Early European Sculpture & Works of Art Milo Dickinson describes the first time he discovered #TheArundelTomb at #ChichesterCathedral for their article: ‘The art of love: 14 works that make our hearts beat faster’. Read the full piece on the Christie’s website. #ValentinesDay: “I discovered one of the most touching relics of love a few years ago when I walked into the great gothic fortress of Chichester Cathedral, near England’s south coast. There lies Richard Fitzwilliam and his wife Eleanor, side by side, his right hand ungloved and lightly resting in hers, bonded together in this stone tomb for eternity”. See our Instagram story for further information about The Arundel Tomb.

Thank you to @konradorama for sharing this incredible panoramic view of the Cathedral Quire, capturing The High Altar and tapestry created by #JohnPiper.
