The Clark (Williamstown, MA)
2009.04.04
Brian and I celebrated our 18-month anniversary and his birthday with a weekend in the Berkshires. First stop: revisiting the Clark Art Institute (see photoblog entry from May 10). Phenomenal museum with a beautiful collection. This room and the one next to it has several stunning paintings of women collected by Sterling and Francine Clark.

Incredibly beautiful and intricate piano, and a staggeringly beautiful painting by Alma-Tadema.

I recently completed a painting based this sculpture - http://beckydaroff.com/paintings/polyxena.html. It's 'The Abduction of Polyxena' by Pio Fedi, who created this bronze copy of his own marble sculpture, which I adore, which resides in Piazza della Signoria in Florence.

Easily one of my favorite rooms in the world. This, by the way, is the same room with the piano, Sargent's Incensing the Veil, the Alma-Tadema, and 3 stunning paintings by one of my favorites, Jean-Leon Gerome (not pictured, but go look up his work)
