I’m very sorry but I can no longer be a part of this website for the time being - I love being able to share beautiful art, but to be here feels like being complicit. The below was the final straw for me. Until we meet again. ❤️

Saints + angels in Venice, inspired by restoration of Titian’s Tobias + Angel in Madonna del’Orto + mentioned by @Cat_Bauer Here’s an article I wrote comparing various ‘Tobias + Angel’ images. Salley Vickers novel - Miss Garnet’s Angel - same theme wp.me/p5eFNn-86G

St Stephen’s holy relics lie in the Church of #SanGiorgioMaggiore in #Venice and outside you can see the statue of the first martyr of Christianity. Do you see the rocks he was stoned to death? #santostefano #StStephensDay

I love Sebastiano del Piombo - A Venetian artist by origin but heavily influenced by the Florentines - a new biography sheds light: finestresullarte.info/en/books/sebas…

@GregoryDowling1 my favorite time of year in Venice, honestly!

Happy New Year from my zippily vibrant corner of Venice.

@JillKerby My favorite time to visit!

#Venice - week 2: Brilliant blue skies today & much of last week too. December’s a terrific time to visit: it’s cold but there are no daytrippers and only a few intrepid interlopers (like yours truly) wandering around. Venetians have their city back …☺️🎄🧑‍🎄🎅🏻

Tiepolo at his best!

The Adoration of the Shepherds by Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo (c. 1480 – 1548) from the church of San Giobbe is the artist’s sole surviving painting in Venice. It’s now being restored by @saveveniceinc!

Beato Angelico. A dopo

Full Moon over Santa Maria Salute by Karl Heilmayer, for the Festa Della Salute which is today!

When Anthony van Dyck visited painter Sofonisba Anguissola in 1625, she was (she told him) 96 years old. He says she was still sharp as a tack! He drew her & then made this painting. Today was her day.

Lotto was such a genius!
