What a place! Beautiful pieces from every period, every country and every medium.
A room full of classical Roman and Greek busts. Marcus Aurelius is in the center, from ~147 A.D.
In another room, Gustav Courbet's 1875 bronze bust, La Liberte, is the focal point.
This lustrous marble Sienese bust is by Giuseppe Mazzuoli and is from ~1690 - 1700. It portrays a member of the Chigi Family, possibly Francesco Chigi Piccolomini (1650-1720)
I love these glazed earthenware animals -- a horse and two camels -- from China. They are from the Tang dynasty (618-907 A.D. Years ago I had two small horses like this, which I am sure were reproductions.
This is a beautiful room loaded with American paintings.
