Botticelli to Titian

On the last day of 2009 Krisz and me visited the large-scale exhibition in the Museum of Fine Arts which shows two centuries of Italian masterpieces. The 130 paintings on show represent the art of over 80 masters, among whom are Leonardo, Giorgione, Raphael, Veronese and Tintoretto on loan to the Museum of Fine Arts from over 50 museums worldwide including the Uffizi in Florence, the Louvre in Paris, the national galleries of London and Washington, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Galleria Borghese in Rome and the Prado in Madrid.
We did this especially on the grounds of the fact that Krisz is one of the masters of the exhibition as he printed the art-publication of the exhibition at the specially request of the customer. It’s a thick book of 450 pages and in its case quality was the most important by far as what we are talking about is painting. That’s why I said that he is an artist as well.
We had the opportunity to see one of the most famous and valuable paintings in the world, the emblematic Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo da Vinci and other works that are sensation in themselves. My favourite painting was Fra Bartolomeo Della Porta – Saint Family at Rest because there is a little but important part of it that only a careful eye can discover (or a mother).

I wish everyone to have confidence about the future and have decided prospects for going on and follow your hearts.

(As a matter of curiosity: my phone number is quite correct --> the last four number is 2010.)
