African Skirt In Dance

Outstanding works of the Thyssen gallery in Madrid

Great page that offered videos of the most interesting Thyssen gallery in Madrid. Including the elegant portrait Domenico Ghirlandaio made Giovanna Tornabuoni, a jewel of Quattrocento Florentine painting that I like most of the museum. In the legend reads an epigram of Martial: "Oh, art, if you were able to represent the customs and the soul does not exist in the world a more beautiful").

The Annunciation diptych Van Eyck in 1934, a painting that plays to be sculpture, worked in grisaille, with that wonderful game of mirror of the Virgin, a successful trompe l'oeil.

The hotel room of Edward Hopper, 1931. A self-absorbed girl rests at the edge of a bed in a cold hotel room, while CONACULTA a role, with luggage without undoing at his feet.

The St. Catherine of Alexandria of Caravaggio , 1598. The artist plays with the luxuries (clothing, pad, colors) of an Oriental court, which belonged to Catherine, and threats of martyrdom, which announces the palm (the wheel of torture, the sword has to decapitate), and as distrustful view of the court that served as a model.
