. . . and live in or close to New York and/or can afford a visit there, you'd be foolish not to try and see this.

Two Paintings
The blog lives! A new post! And, to boot, the revival of what I'd hoped would be a weekly feature of this blog!
(Well, a variation on the feature.)
Though the subject matter in each of these paintings is different, I hope it will be immediately apparent why each appears here. Also, the selection is a way of beginning a response to Robert's comment in the previous post regarding the influence of Caravaggio on Dutch painting.
As always, click on the image to see a larger version.
Caravaggio, The Crucifixion of St. Peter, 1600-01
Dirck van Baburen, Prometheus Being Chained by Vulcan, 1623
I look forward to being a bit more regular in posting here.
