Often I find the detail of his work more attractive than the total. For brilliant 18th c work, stylized classicism and all, give me Tiepolo, an astonishing painter.Lapinbizarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686990585795363001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343439372519556254.post-15900447123062350972011-04-23T19:32:55.607-04:002011-04-23T19:32:55.607-04:00Interesting.

The sacrament series is extraordinary, as is your commentary.<br /><br /><i>I always thought of Poussin's work as cold and rationalizing.</i><br /><br />How could you?!! :-) I've never thought of Poussin's work in that way.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.com
