"Choose a job you love and you will not have to work a day in your life" (Confucius)
Quote:Sorry Roger and friends, but after mentioning it in such encomiastic terms (and even though it is not treasured in the Frick Museum but in the Louvre) I could not resist posting this superb masterwork by Ingres. Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres - La Grand Odalisque (oil on canvas, 1814)
Breathtaking beauty.
I look forward greatly to your new forum

A brief introduction to Giovani Bellini's "St. Francis in the Desert" with Colin B. Bailey, Associate Director & Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator of The Frick Collection.
So wonderful.
Besides the beauty and skill evident these gems are reminders of man's simpler lifestyle and a time when community was a part of everyday life. As now there were the have's and have nots but there was a natural support among communities.
Modern life has brought many of us more comfort but we still can't really better the observation and imagination of these masters.
Wonderful.
