I am in Cleveland with some free time, so I went to the Cleveland Art Museum. Wonderful!
The main building of the museum has a classical façade.
A special exhibition about Michelangelo began this week. It features his drawings. This room shows some of Michelangelo's drawings that were used to prepare for painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. shown on the wall beyond the museum visitors.
There is a fascinating suite of galleries about Medieval art.
This is a French sculpture of the Virgin and Child from 1385 - 1390.
This detail from a 1460 painting of The Trinity by Laurentin Girardin seems
strikingly contemporary in its composition and style.
And this is a detail of a 1909 boxing painting by Ohio native George Bellows,
who painted in Manhattan.

A room of armor is an unusual feature of the Cleveland Museum of Art.

A fine looking building! And a fine collection inside.

ReplyDeleteVisiting an art gallery is one of my fav ways of spending spare time also Jack, what a wonderful exhibition here ✨
ReplyDeleteI'm also a fan of art museums, and now must choose which one of many to see on my visit to Santa Fe NM. I would love to see the Michelangelo show.
