Into The Mists Of Time

 The Church of Santa Maria della Salute, Venice is by Francesco Guardi, circa 1780-85.


Here we have a view of the next large space.


I slipped into a side corridor first. Here we have the fountain courtyard from above.


There are works by Peter Paul Rubens here. Stormy Landscape is circa 1635-36.


The Entombment is circa 1612-14.


Here we have a view down the corridor winding around one side of the upper courtyard.


Finishing off today, this is Portrait of a Nobleman by Francisco Beyeu, circa 1785-90.

  1. Oh, I hope that´s not a guide in white standing way too close to a visitor, but a couple... I´m afraid I´m wrong...
    The fountain courtyard is really wonderful.
