A painting found in a storeroom of Swansea Musuem (Welsh: Amgueddfa Abertawe) has turned out to be a 17th Century Flemish masterpiece worth about £3m. Thought to have been owned by the Museum for about 150 years it had been catalogued as the work of an unknown artist. Now it has been dated to between 1619 and 1622 and identified as the work of Flemish artist Jacob Jordaens (19 May 1593 – 18 October 1678). The painting is a preparatory oil study for Atalanta & Meleager, which now hangs in the Prado Museum in Madrid.

It is with great sorrow that we record that Eddie Forbes Climo passed away last Saturday. Eddie, christened Hedley after his father, was the first son of Hedley Climo of Bodmin and Isobel (Sybil) of Thurso in Scotland. Eddie taught himself Welsh while studying in Wales and later on Scottish Gaelic. Later in life he went on to teach himself Cornish. It was obvious from some of his publications that he knew something of other languages.

He had two sons, Seoras and Charlie, who for a while were raised bilingually with Gaelic.
