"Italian Masterpieces" (NGV)

"from Spain's royal court, Museo del Prado"

Raced through this in about 45 minutes last weekend, dazed and light-headed. 16th to 18th century, and not art that I know much about, have seen a lot of, or particularly respond to (all of those being related to each other, obviously). Still, I quite enjoyed the exhibition, for the use of colour - including in evoking light - if nothing else, as well as adding something to my store of art knowledge, both historical and more generally in terms of visual education.
