Buying Bewilderment

When I think I've seen it all, something grabs me by the heart strings and drags me along.

Sir Lawrence Alma-TademaA Reading from Homer1885Oil on canvas36 1/8 x 72 1/4 inchesPhiladelphia Museum of Art One of my favorite paintings at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This picture does it so little justice. The details are indescribable. From the folds of the viewer’s feet, to the texture of the marble, it’s a remarkable work of art that has been said to have been “painted in a little more than a month”.   View high resolution
