OK, after spending the entire morning trying to figure out how to upload pictures to this blog, I now share with you a few from our tour last Sunday at the Museo Capodimonte.
This museum is former royal palace of the Bourbons.
The artistic treasures exhibited here comprise the greater part of the celebrated Farnese collection which was transferred to Naples from Parma, Piacenza and Rome in the middle of the 18th century. (I copied that from the website - can you tell?!)
I can only post a few pictures at a time, so there will be a couple of seperated blog posts here for me to share photos with you from this museum.
Featured above is the lovely Alessandra (who shall from now on be known as Alessandra the Minor di Napoli). She looks like she fits right into a royal palace doesn't she?
The other artwork is a photo I took with Lenny in mind and have captioned: "See, I told you bellies were in style." Lush, lovely and voluptuous women are so much more intersting than skinny bitches - even several hundred years ago! (OK to my skinny bitch followers, sorry but really you are already skinny so you will just have to put up with my insulting you.)
Continue to the next blog for more of my artistic criticism of major Renaissance works...
