Better yet, in the privacy of my own room without the crowds jostling me for position or the expenses involved.

Good grief - the dozens of times I have been for walks on Hampstead Heath and walked right past Kenwood House never knowing it was full of incredible paintings- I could kick myself! Also, I visited the Soane back in the 1990s when studying in London. It is so memorable and wonderful that last year I took my family to see it. However, I had no idea that The Rakes Progress paintings were housed inside. Finally, the Wallace collection- that will be next on my places to visit when I next go to London. Superb video, as always!

I remember turning a corner to suddenly be faced with one of Dali's Cruxificions. I was seriously awestruck. We both ended up exhausted. Our brains couldn't process any more art. We looked at the map of the museum on the way out. We realized we had only seen about one quarter of the collection in 6 hours. Lol Anyway, I recommend it if you ever find yourself in NYC.

Couldn’t help but admire the story revealed here of William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield, who is not only wealthy and privileged but is also a distinguished jurist, highly cultured and possessed an acute moral and social conscience by supporting the long struggle for the abolition of slavery in the British empire. Excellent analysis of the pieces by Vermeer, Hals, Rembrandt and more. Looking forward to these series. Many thanks for sharing your masterful knowledge and deep appreciation of art.
