A rather hilarious picture in today's Daily Mirror of Kim Cattrall and other semi-clad women posing in approximation (very rough approximation, it must be said) of Titian's Diana and Actaeon, as part of the campaign to raise £50m to purchase the original from the Duke of Sutherland. The marvellous headline reads: "Nice Titians, Kim".

The photograph is by Tom Hunter, whose work has been exhibited at the National Gallery and whose most famous piece, a haunting photograph called Woman Reading a Possession Order (1998), is based on a painting by Vermeer. (Incidentally it was first published in 1997 in the Guardian's late, lamented Space magazine, when I was working there ? part of his series documenting the lives of people in a Hackney tower block due for demolition.)

The Sun has already had a Titian-esque arrangement of naked women in its pages; and of course it went nuts for opera this autumn. It's hard to imagine any of that happening 10 years ago ? evidence of the increasing popularity of, and interest in, culture in Britain.
