Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum, Boston, MA.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

1. I would love to see the real thing ... at the museum.

I just don't think this does it justice.

[NNadir]

2. Almost certainly. I've seen a fair number of Titians in Europe and in New York, but next time I'm

in the Boston area, I'll try to make a point of visiting this painting.

I didn't know it was there until researching Titian on the internet.

Thank you.

Standing ovation for the Orrex. :applause:

8. Me too!

I was hoping this thread was about punching through that ice to see what's beneath.

7. Whew - I thought this was about the VT legislature

nevermind

9. Being so computer illiterate I can't post it myself,

but I believe the Lounge might enjoy Hieronymus Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights". His work is truly awesome.
