A marble relief by the Venetian Renaissance sculptor Tulio Lombardo. It is a part of the collection of the Kunsthistorischesmuseum in Vienna, but it can now be seen in an exhibition at the National Gallery in Washington, "An Antiquity of Imagination: Tullio Lombardo and Venetian High Renaissance Sculpture." Wish I could go.....
Hello John,
ReplyDeleteSeeing master works in their own country is an amazing experience. I remember the feeling seeing St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice. I took my sketch book and drew everything that inspired me. There are so many works of art that are not pictured or talked about in art history books. More and more colleges are starting to offer art history courses where you can travel and study master works. Thomas
