Last weekend I visited the National Gallery of Art. Below is one of my favorite pieces. I was amazed at the large collection of works they had on display there. You'll find everything from gold coins to relatively recent paintings by Edward Hopper. I was very impressed by the architecture and overall peaceful aura of the building. The only downside to the gallery is that while all of the Smithsonian Museums are open until 7:30pm during the summer, this building still closes at 5:00pm every day.
I'm a fan...Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. I knew the style looked a little familiar. Come to find out I saw a few of his pieces in Germany :)
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you knew the artist's name. I confess I didn't even look when I was at the gallery. I basically walked through the building taking pictures of everything I liked. This one was one of my favorites. Thanks for providing me with the opportunity to find more of Murillo's work... :)
ReplyDeleteIn the spirit of complete honesty, I didn't know the artist's name off the top of my head. I looked it up. So don't be too impressed.
ReplyDeleteMeh. I'll still give you points for finding it. What did you search...girl and woman in window?... How are things at the COB?
