Dear Art Lover,
 |
| Bouguereau |
I had hoped to write about this art exhibition at the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, Italy, while
it was still happening, but I got sidetracked.
I am currently in Austria seeing people that I love, so I have little
time at the moment.
The exhibition was titled, “Bellezza Divina / Divine
Beauty” and included works from Van
Gogh to Chagall and Fontana to my favorites, Antonio Ciseri (1821-1891). While many of Adolphe Bouguereau’s works seem sappy to some art critics, the
enormous painting in this exhibition is absolutely stunning. I cannot imagine anyone walking away from it
without admiring the artist who conceived and painted it.
Anyway, here are the images.
If you want to know the artist, please leave a comment on my blog page
and I will get back to you once I am home again in February.
Thank you … and enjoy the devotional art and divine beauty.
This was a wonderful exhibition! [More images below.]
