Capodimonte 1

Capodimonte is another palace of the Bourbon Kings of Naples, much great art and architecture, on the outskirts of Naples. Another pleasant ride on the Circumvesuviana, a less pleasant bus-ride (poor signage), but we made it and had another day of Art History 101 in person.

A huge building

From the Capodimonte Gardens, looking across a bit of Naples to Vesuvius

Giovanni Bellini's Circumcision, 1500; the Capodimonte had several circumcisions, 
notably, but I'll spare you the others

Lorenzo Lotto's, Madonna and Bambino and St. Peter, Martyr; note the clever 
foreshadowing of St. Peter's martyrdom



A very, very early El Greco, Soflon
