I was very sad to hear of the passing of the art historian Alastair Laing over the weekend. Known for his passion for eighteenth century French art, alongside his work as a curator at The National Trust, Laing had been focusing on completing a catalogue raisonné of Francois Boucher's drawings during the last years of his life. Here is a tribute from Neil Jeffares and here is an article from La Tribune de l'Art with more information on his life and achievements. Furthermore, here is an extended interview with Alastair on CODART which is worth reading.
