...in this sketch, forced me to come in close to explore the drowsy gaze he so brilliantly captured in just a few swift lines. I also loved that this was created for George Platt Lynes on his birthday, a telling and intimate detail.

I always appreciate getting to see the work of from the 1930s-40s contextualized with his peers, and was thrilled to see at , for the first time in person, his startlingly brutal Herrin Massacre, 1940, on loan from .

A diminutive, but impactful gem in the new exhibit "Made in NYC: the Business of Folk Art," this rare tattoo pattern book, 1873-1910, is actually made on water-proof pages. You can imagine it flung in some salty old sea dog's rucksack

Once again, for those in the back, the best tip is to visit on the nights the museum is open until 21:45. Especially the last hour. Blissful peace. No crowds. Michelangelo, Rebellious Slave & Dying Slave, 1513-14.

I was interested in the incised drawing Of the arms and hands on this sculpture and how it blended 2D with 3D. Ossip Zadkine, Torse de Femme, 1961.

I'm a bit of a sucker for decorative tile work, and these Moorish-inspired stunners by the Low Art Tile Works company in the Smoking Room of the are definitely home decor goal-worthy. (At least they were during the Gilded Age.)

Learned that rarely exhibited his oil sketches in public, but he did show this undulating Christ on the Cross, 1845 in a prominent exhibit in Paris. I loved seeing it here, next to the fully developed canvas from 1846. (Why I love retrospectives.)

I went to experience the "Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future" exhibition at and was struck at how mesmerized visitors were. The spiraling building is what the artist had always imagined for the display of these spiritual paintings.

Day 13: food. Last summer at , I randomly stumbled upon The Flux and the Puddle, 2014. This ferocious, shrieking pineapple couple was just one of the surprising details in the room-sized installation that I discovered.

One of the highlights of exploring was getting to see the fascinating It's outside the main area & much less frequented by tourists, which made it even more exciting to admire. There is even some ancient graffiti being preserved there.

I swung by the Palazzo Barberini () today and spent some time thinking about these 2 paintings. The 1st, Antonello de Saliba, 1520, the 2nd, Francisco Pagano, 1472-1476. So different, yet the head tilt & mouth are nearly identical.

...There were several brilliant galleries dedicated to the art of puppetry & marionettes. 1st pic is of curious 19th/early 20th century marionettes, 2nd is of 18th century examples, & 3rd pic is a theme I sensed in the painted backdrops for marionette shows 🧔🏻⚔️🧔🏻

...Discovered in Ostia in 1959, it's the most intact and complete example of inlaid marble decoration (opus sectile) ever found. It's beautifully presented and documented (in Italian & braille.) Surprising details include portraits, attacking lions & even octopus!
