24 hours in New York City. So, go to the Met.
Emanuel Leuze, Washington Crossing the Delaware (1851).
A woman looking at women, mainly John Singer Sargent's Portrait of Madame X (1884).
Frederick Church's 1859 painting, Heart of the Andes.
Three Winslow Homer paintings in the 1890s of rugged Maine surf
near the artist's home at Prouts Neck.
A Tiffany window.

How lucky we are to be able to wander in off the street and see such works. There is an interesting contrast in the dress sense of Madame X and Ms Y who is observing the painting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour, Jack !
ReplyDeleteI like your pics with people in all of them - it works really well, Jack!
ReplyDeleteAh, so that's where the Washington painting is!
ReplyDeleteHeart of the Andes certainly captures my eye.
I can hardly wait! I'm going for a whole week in late October. I have a list of places I want to revisit and a few I want to see for the first time. I've always done short trips to NY before so this will be a wonderful time to explore so much more.
ReplyDeleteI can see you had a wonderful time at the Met. John Singer Sargent has always been one of my favorite painters, and who would not be impressed by the Tiffany stained glass.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to the art, I like observing the viewers. . .quite a collection of people. In museums I always take note of the frames as well as the art. Some of these in your photos are remarkably ornate.
ReplyDeleteGreat that they let you take photos. Most of our galleries don't.
