This month's #HistFicThursdays have been all art-inspired, so I'm sticking with that theme! A couple of months ago, the Things to Inspire blog was about sketches . Today's is about finished pieces of artwork! Artwork has been an inspiration for millions of people across thousands of years. Just like a book, the finished product can (hopefully!) be an inspiration. Over the years, we've collected one or two pieces of old artworks, and these are a few... Religious artwork has always been used as an inspiration and, historically, this was how the majority of people interacted with biblical stories. This was a barn find - probably created for someone's own interest judging by the naive style of artwork. It looks like it might have been from a panelled wall at some point. I wonder what happened to the rest of the panels and what story they might show when they are all together... Of course, not all artworks are paintings! Here is a scrimshaw of the Battle of Flamborough
Hello Reader!
For those of you who don't know us, we are a small independent publisher whose main aim is to provide people with good quality books.
We all have different jobs and Crowvus is something that we do because we love good literature. We've just had a bit of excitement as we've published our first novel: Day's Dying Glory by Virginia Crow.
Since we're gaining momentum a little, we thought it would be a great idea to have a book blog, where we can review books we've read - and perhaps list books we'd like to read!
As we all have other jobs, we can't guarantee how often we will post on here but if you have a book that you think we'd like, please get in touch with the_team@crowvus.com
I'll be putting together a Review Policy in due course.
