Yesterday I left off with a painting depicting Venice. Here we have another one. The Campo di Rialto And The Church Of Saint James is by Canaletto (Giovanni Antonio Canal) and dates somewhere between 1740-60.
Here we emerge into a large, long gallery space with a wealth of paintings and sculptures. My favourite sculpture is at the far end. I slipped into a side gallery before taking in this area.
Anthony Van Dyck painted Let The Children Come To Me around 1618-20.
I had to photograph from the side with this one, as behind me was an opening into the interior courtyard. This is The Entombment by Peter Paul Rubens, done between 1612-14 by the master.
Belos quadros.

ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI love that gallery -- and the thought you were there on your own. To have all that art to yourself without a huge crowd of others to look over. The walls are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI tend to prefer not to photograph other people when possible, and ideally to avoid such places when it's busy.
