Artefacts adorn |
The CityLit course of 100 Paintings has been running along nicely and it was rather a pleasure to have time art galleries other than The National Gallery (which is of course great).
The Devonshire Arms |
Walking along to Manchester Square (where the collection is) saw an old drinking haunt - somethings don't change!
The Wallace collection is rather super and includes great art from Rembrandt as well as Canaletto (perhaps not that unusual, below a Painting of Venice ) - some of the delight comes from the nature of the setting which features Furniture and other artefacts too.
Venice: the Bacino di San Marco from San Giorgio Maggiore |
I also was pleased to see another of the rightly acclaimed Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Steens's works 'Celebrating the birth' - The painting is full of life and humour.
