LRC in the Times Higher

Our Literacy Research Centre is mentioned in the Times Higher Education magazine today, in the context of an article about Institutes of Advanced Studies in UK universities. The best thing about the article for me is the reproduction of an astonishing painting I have never seen before, 'Science and the Arts' by Adriaen van Stalbemt. THES reproduces this very detailed work, including some literacy practices, in a double page spread that's really worth having a look at.

It's a seventeenth century painting, held in the Prado, but I can find out little about the artist freely available on the internet, although this seems quite popular as a poster.
