I think I have some new favorites, I don't want to do just one entry for all of them though, so I'd start with what caught my fancy the most first. It is surprising that while I liked a fair set from the thirty must see paintings in The National Gallery, the one I liked the most was not on that list. I could well imagine looking at this every day. I wanted to get a canvas print, but after seeing the real one, it would never be the same.

I agree on the print ~ when I saw Renoir's 'Boating Party' I was awe struck by the vivid colors ~ I have never seen a print that does it any justice.
ReplyDeleteThe loss of the texture also diminishes the beauty, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI guess I'd just have to settle with the image I have in my head.
