madamemodisteI went to the Met today for a school field trip, and I took time to visit the 18th and 19th century European Paintings. Seeing these paintings live was awe inspiring! I had no idea they were so huge. I actually sat down breathless when I came to Madame X, and I would have sat down when I saw Mrs. Astor, but there was no bench. I felt like I was seeing celebrities!! And I was!
This painting is so big that I couldn't get any closer or I'd lose some of the frame. HUGE!!
Mrs. Astor's right glove is missing. She's not holding it...it's not on the ground. Where is her right glove?
(I think I need to do this gown)
All but the Tissot were nearly life sized. It was incredible to see them "live". They are so much more remarkable and breathtaking!!
