Picture of the week
It seems that even street art can catch World Cup fever. A photo by Black Country photographer Dion Kitson shows home-grown English footballers Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers sharing a portion of orange chips – a Midlands delicacy. Kitson says he created the image to protest the “dark side of patriotism” he saw on the internet, but that it doesn’t mean “to be a political statement, just to feel good”.

Rome: The Interior of St Peter’s by Giovanni Paolo Panini, before 1742
By the 1800s the days when Italy led Europe in the arts and sciences were gone, and artists like Giovanni Paolo Panini found their best market by selling ideas to aristocratic tourists. Panini painted St Peter’s alone 30 times. But who wouldn’t want to take home such a souvenir? He uses a sharp technique to lead the way through this beautiful building, using a crowd of colorful visitors to convey its grandeur. They are small among the great monuments because they admire the high-quality architecture of the Renaissance. In the early 1500s, the ambitious Pope Julius II decided to demolish the old tomb of St Peter and build a new church in its place. Although he was already an old man he brought new energy and determination to this great production, and his high feeling is imprinted on it forever. Panini captures this phenomenon in a painting whose precision conveys the sacred awe of Michelangelo.
