Yesterday, at the Art Institute.

The images above are my photos of detail from the following paintings:

■ “David Garrick as King Lear” by Richard Westall; about 1815
■ “The Penitent Saint Peter” by Jusepe de Ribera; about 1630
■ “Study Head of a Bearded Man” by Frans Floris; about 1565
■ “The Captive Slave (Ira Aldridge)” by John Philip Simpson; 1827 

We attended member hours to to see Among Friends and Rivals: Caravaggio in Rome, but what really captured our imaginations was Remedios Varo: Science Fictions.
