Art Museum 2

 Soumaya

More classic sculpture reproductions. 

The “Moses” from Rome. Long ago I saw the original in a little church on a side street in Rome. 


Persephone captured by Hades

A view of the sculpture hall. 

“The Gates of Hell.” Zürich has a set of these at its art museum. Very impressive details.

Copies of the panels from the “Gates of Paradise,” Doors of the cathedral in Florence, by Ghiberti 

Then on to the paintings. A little alcove with quiet scenes of fisher folk, church interiors, and a Dys of the Dead display for this weekend.





On to the next floor. This had a variety of objects, with some paintings. 


A detail. I did some sketching of intriguing faces and this and that. 

A warmer in the shape of the museum building.

An ornate harpsichord 

A small sewing chest

To be continued…..
