| Portrait of Eleonora of Toledo and son Giovanni, by Bronzino |
So, I took myself to my local art
gallery this afternoon – the Uffizi. There, I saw not one, not two, but ONE
DOZEN paintings by Bronzino – all in one tiny little room. They were lovely portraits of long
dead people, but they were alive in the paintings, and lonely in the gallery
room. So…..I stayed and kept them company
for a long while, admiring everything about them. I am a better person for it, and the
people in the paintings were still smiling as I left. I think they were secretly happy I
visited with them.
