Norton Simon on Monday

I enjoyed lunch with a colleague in the garden and visited some of my favorites.

Wow, this is an amazing art museum.

Manet's "The Ragpicker" 1865-70

Pissaro's "View of Berneval" 1900

Matthias Stom's "Christ Crowned with Thorns" 1633-39 Dutch
A single candle, a device favored by Caravaggio for the strong contrast of light and dark that result.
