Baroque Room

 The Baroque Room is off the main corridor of these galleries, and one of the visual treats in the building. This large space contains several large paintings and sculptures, most of a religious theme, but some historical or mythological.


Let's have a look at some of them. Landscape With A Woman Washing Her Feet is by Nicholas Poussin, dating to 1650.


The Abduction Of Europa is by Guido Reni, dating circa 1636.


And The Repentant Magdalen is by Veronese, dating to 1565-70.

    The Baroque is really the Photography of this time ! It took a long time to paint the landscapes or life of that time !

    It's amazing how religion used to dominate every aspect of society, but that's where the money was. It was an early Ponzi scheme that worked really well.
