Hung on a building wall outside our office there has appeared a reproduction of Rubens ‘Samson and Delilah’. I’ve gathered that this is something to do with an idea to ‘set art free’ – does anyone know more about this and where are there others?

I don’t know anything about this, but I do like it.

And I like this Hiroshige someone has painted on this wall:

Similar, it just doesn’t have a frame

Aha! Turns out that the rogue Rubens in the above photo is part of a test phase for a National Gallery/Hewlett Packard project which, and I quote, ‘is the first of its kind anywhere in the world and is certainly going to get all of London talking!’ So there you go. The launch event is next Tuesday, so we’ll know more after that.
