1/ Spent some time y’day w some of my favourite Italians - at Dublin’s @NGIreland. They seemed a little lonely... #TriptychTomassodeiMazza @luisella_romeo @hotelalphabet @VeniceArtGuide @LucaMarchiori @Brian_T_Nolan @SteveKills @monicacesarato /2
/2 The National Gallery of Ireland has a truly splendid collection of early Italian art and some really lovely Virgin’s & Christ Child’s #deJacopoMachiavelli #FrancescoGranacci /3
/3 ... and some that are not, but make me laugh, which maybe was the great #Uccello ‘s point? 
#VirginChild /4


/4 The #Caravaggio (‘Taking of the Christ’) is the star of the show but I love the Titian’s, Veronese & Domenico Tintoretto’s ‘Venice, Queen of the Adriatic’. @NGIreland #TheItalians /5
/5 ...with #Venice on my mind when I got home, I thought a Spritz was called for... (and a little home-made canola). It will do... It will have to do... #Art #Italy #Venice @NGIreland
