Norfolk's Chrysler Museum Of Art, 2

 More paintings from the excellent Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk...

Dosso Dossi, Learned Man of Antiquity, 1540; maths

Pietro del Vecchio, Portrait of Erhard Weigl, 1649;
working towards a unified theory of everything; seriously

Ribera, Saint Jerome, 1650; sans lion

Guido Reni, Meeting of David and Abigail, 1620

Attributed to Bernini, Bust of the Savior, 1679; nice curls

Rubens, Man with a Sword, 1598

Claude Lorrain, Loading Timber in the Golden Glow of Evening, 1627;
interestingly, oil on copper; the Dutch were fooling around with copper 
in the 16th and 17th centuries...but Claude? in Rome?

Hubert Robert, Landscape with a Temple, no date, but, hey, another
of my favorite painters

Bierstadt, Minnehaha Falls, 1886

Bierstadt, The Emerald Pool, 1870; the drapery reflects what a 19th
century American showing would look like; nice historical touch

Winslow Homer, Song of the Lark,1876

Gustave Dore, The Neophyte (First Experience of the Monastery, 1866;
based on a scene from a George Sand novel; Dore wrote "He will be 
over the wall tonight"

Renoir, Trees by the Edge of a River, 1875; small, early Renoir, acquired
in a 1967 Norfolk subscription drive involving some 20,000 residents; impressive!

Fantin-Latour. Portrait of Leon Maitre, 1886; the anti-Impressionist

Monet, View of Vernon, 1886

Degas, Dancer with Bouquets, 1895

John Singer Sargent, The Countess of Latham, 1904;
"Queenie" was her nickname; this was Sargent's final
portrait, turning to landscapes and murals

Sargent, Olives at Corfu, 1909; I would have stuck with the very,
very lucrative portraits for which he is remembered

Braque, The Pink Tablecloth, 1933; a Cubist still life in which the
objects on the table merge...I think

Picasso, Decoration for Bal de Mardi Gras, 1923; too long a story...

Jack the Dripper, Number 23, 1951; 1951

Visiting later that day and next with Harry and Norma
in their Manassas home; our longest-time friends...since
the cradle in Mark's case, from high school in Vicki's; First
Christian Church in Miami was the origin of many very
long-lived marriages
