Venice: Museo Corrrer

We also visited the lesser known Correr Museum, mostly about Venice history, also in St. Mark's Square.

Canova's Deadalus and Icarus



















Veronese's Two Ladies Waiting (or maybe it
was Tintoretto or Bellini, or Norman
Rockwell)





















The outstanding piece, for us, was Breughel's Adoration of
the Magi; almost any Breughel for us is a treat; or Bosch; etc;
actually this piece should be called Winter Scene with a
Superfluous Reference to the Adoration of the Magi; which is
fine 



















Fortunately, the Florian is nearby; I did enjoy
the Correr, especially its paintings of the naval
battle of Lepanto (The Naval); but it was too
dark for pix and the guards were hovering...
