Four Masterpieces
Gentle connoisseur,
I'm back from a clandestine, blitzschnell journey across the heart of Europa, from the Port of Amsterdam to the Habsburg halls of Vienna, about which I shall post more details soon. But to tide you over on this, a long, holiday weekend in America and a pleasant, midsummer one here, I am presenting you with four wonderful, sensual paintings I had the opportunity to contemplate in person.
Girl with a Pearl Earring, Johannes Vermeer, 1665
Mauritshuis, Den Haag
The Kiss, Gustav Klimt, 1907-08
Belvedere, Wien
Judith and Holofernes, Gustav Klimt, 1901
Belvedere, Wien
Portrait of a Young Venetian Woman, Albrecht Dürer, 1505
Kunsthistorisches Museum, Wien
