Fine Arts Friday



 
I’m blessed to live close enough to NYC to get in there from time to time. Recently I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I haven’t been to too many art museums, especially lately. As I walked in each room I would have to hold back a gasp as I saw familiar works in person for the first time.

I don’t know why but when I walked into the room containing this Degas, tears began to stream down my face. This image does not come close to showing the beauty and magnificent color of the original.


Madame Valpinçon with Chrysanthemums by Edgar Degas

I *love* art museums! Wish we could see that picture "live."

Come for a visit and I will show it to you. I currently have a free pass into the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
