Uffizi Outtakes

Like other great museums, the Uffizi rather peters out towards the end...fewer priceless treasures, fewer people, fewer guards. So I did take a few pix, mostly of items that amused me.

Parmigiano's (I think) Madonna of the Long

Neck; I post this here simply to call attention

to the fact that the painting of this title in

Google's Art Project Uffizi Collection is the

wrong painting

An unusal composition for an Adoration (what's his left
hand doing?) by the Cortona master painter Rene Sance

Another of Rene Sance's masterpieces, his

unforgettable landscape The Pissing Contest

Virtually every museum in Europe has at

least one Rembrandt Self-Portrait...

The Uffizi of course has two; leading us to

wonder again what greatness Rembrandt might
have achieved had he painted anything beside

himself

The Uffizi also has a Caravaggio Room

(at the very end); I doubt there is a more

fashionable artist in Italy presently; anyhow,

it has three minor works of his, including this

Medusa, featuring the same male friend

featured in several of the still-lifes; I bet this

one was done after they broke up
