A noble family had a large collection of historic paintings that passed to subsequent generations. Some of the collection is now in a gallery setting in the Old Hospital. (Again, please excuse the glare on the varnish.)
Beautifully rendered drapery and skin
Small but beautifully painted
Part of a very large piece.
A very fine piece
Bible story Italian style
The Visit of Mary to Elizabeth. Note the assumption that Joseph escorted his betrothed on her journey there. And note the gentlemanly handshake. This is not a typical scene -quite a unique take, actually.
And many more, of which I didn’t get pictures.
And that is the end of that particular visit.
