They had an exhibit on pre-Raphaelite art and I saw a few things I thought you'd enjoy.
One of my favorite enjoyments is looking at really old tapestries, which are just incredible if you think about their construction back in the days. This one is over 500 years old! And also huge!
Our grandkids left on Sunday so I'm just starting to get back into my sewing room! We had a wonderful time with them here at the cabin and the place is so eerily quiet and empty without them. Little Emma starts kindergarten next week so they are definitely growing up; Ryan goes into 3rd grade and Jack starts pre-school.
The tapestries are beautiful. My grands will be in 3rd and 1st grades this year! Crazy how time moves along.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a blink of our eyes and kiddo's grow and change.
ReplyDeleteLovely exhibit. The tapestries at the Vatican museum were massive! The size of them impressed me almost more than the details!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting exhibit. The amount of details is amazing. It almost as if they disliked blank spaces. Thanks for sharing with us. I have enjoyed this. ;^)
ReplyDeletegreat exhibit. Tapestries are so amazing. The Cloisters in NYC have wonderful examples. too.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness---school already! Summer goes by way too quickly. The exhibit looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThose tapestries are wonderful... did you visit the "Musée of Cluny" in Paris ? It's a medieval museum where beautiful tapestries are exhibited.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these beautiful pictures.
Oh and good luck for your grand-children... in France, I came back home from holidays last weekend but school will only start on the 3rd of september !
Love William Morris, Kelmscott and the entire Arts & Crafts movement. What a great way to spend an afternoon ... thanks for sharing! Linda
ReplyDeleteWow, those are amazing! Is that show still going on? I would definitely try to get up to the City to see it. Those Pre-Raphaelite guys were an interesting group.
