Venetian Room, Metropolitan Museum NY

When one lives close to a beach you tend to visit rarely.  I live in Manhattan and some time ago made a commitment to myself to visit the Metropolitan Museum regularly.  Sometimes for as short as 10 minutes.  I have a few favorite 'friends' that I visit each time.  The Vermeers, Rembrandts....Motherwell, and in the Decorative Arts wing, I never leave without a few moments in the Venetian Room.  On Thursday I visited again, and this time took a photo that will find its place on my office wall somewhere.  A different era; unique aesthetic.  Yet, timeless and breathtaking...void of garish.
