Do I always find the St. Sebastians, or do they find me? 🤔 In any case, I was happy to stumble upon this painted terra cotta . It lacks the tell-tale arrows, but the empty punctures still seem brutal. ca. 1492.

The has a swoon-worthy gallery of paintings. I always love it when they include hints of somewhere in the background, as in Laocoön, ca. 1610-14 & Saint Martin and the Beggar, 1597-99.

I have this weird obsession with contemplating just how many casts of Rodin's The Age of Bronze (L'Age d'Airain) exist in the world. It was modeled in 1875-6, but cast for many years after. These two versions are both from the collection.

Ahhhh... Sometimes you get to sit in the El Greco gallery all by yourself. Detail, Laocoön, ca. 1610-1614.
