The Boston Public Library and the Old South Church sure do take a nice picture:
I want to look through the Library's copy of "Two Views of Italy: Master Prints by Canaletto and Piranesi" [published by the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College]:
2 lovely illustrations are:
"Imaginary View of Venice", 1741 etching:
"The Portico with the Lantern":
It is a lovely booklet - maybe I can pick up a copy on eBay.
I then headed west out Route 9 to Boston College, and its McMullen Museum of Art::
Hiram Dwight Torrey - "Sunrise Among the Mountains", c. 1856 oil
Philip Leslie Hale - "In the Garden", n.d. oil:
Another 10 miles west on Route 9 takes me to Wellesley College's Davis Museum:
Wendy and I had visited here back in November 2016, and they have a wonderful collection!
Today's highlights include:
William Trost Richards - "Seascape", 1870 oil
John Frederick Kensett - "Mount Washington from the Valley of Conway", 1851 oil:
And then I headed down the road for an afternoon visit at the Fruitlands Museum (Harvard, Mass.) [I last visited here May 19, 2018]:
They still have the "salon style" going on, which is Very Impressive, but a bit like drinking out of a fire hose:
Albert Bierstadt - "Mount Ascutney from Claremont, New Hampshire", 1862 oil:
William Louis Sonntag - "Mountain Scene with Stream", 1881 oil:
And from there I headed home! Thank you God for these wonderful adventures!
When I'm on my own, maybe I don't always eat very well, but at least I have A LOT OF FUN:
