Adoration of the Magi from the Church of St. Catherine of Alexandria in Nowy Targ, a copy of Giovanni Battista Pittoni "Adoration of the Magi" from St. Mary's Church in Krakow
This week's #ScienceSaturday post featured etchings from 'Relation d'un voyage du Levant' by Joseph Pitton de Tournefort, published in Amsterdam, in 1718. The book is a collection letters to the Comte de Pontchartrain published after the author's death. https://t.co/j3TC3ZckHM
Jacopo Bassano’s Adoration of the Kings (1542), Guercino’s The Virgin & Child (c1615) & Giovanni Battista Pittoni’s (1725) The Apotheosis of St Jerome with St Peter of Alcántara & a Franciscan. The historic-style hanging of works in the museum add to their dramatic qualities.

Happy New Year to you all!
This 'Adoration of the Magi' in Brescia, is by GB Pittoni - the fine Venetian artist buried in San Giacomo Dall'Orio. Plan a visit there in 2018!
