I should have noticed earlier but Martin Freeman wearing those various hats as Rembrandt should have reminded me of a painter I admire a lot - in fact if I were to write my own little art history he would feature in one line from Turner to Newman, the marvellous and hilarious James Ensor.
BTW the first thing that won me for Ensor before realising his mastery in painting and colour, was his wry sense of humour, that truly befits an artist. And especially the way he takes it out on himself personally.
