Thank them for leaving there collection to the people of Baltimore and for the world to see. Plus in the 19th century when this collection was put together the dollar had more spending power then today.andrew1860https://www.blogger.com/profile/09302166776668727094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2517604320453054140.post-72835080662149705852012-04-27T22:49:36.298-07:002012-04-27T22:49:36.298-07:00If I had to select just one of your lovely images ...If I had to select just one of your lovely images to drool over, it would be Flowers by a Pond with Frogs 1670s. I don't recognise the name Recco, but this work certainly reveals the strong influence of Dutch painters working in Italy. <br /><br />Bless the Walters family! I love the style where paintings are exhibited from wainscoting-to-ceiling and I love the heavy brocade-covered walls. They must have had a LOT of money.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2517604320453054140.post-61494206556485423622012-04-27T18:02:25.693-07:002012-04-27T18:02:25.693-07:00Hi Stephilius thank you for your comment.

The Walters art museum and other museums in Baltimore are full of World Class art treasures, mostly due to wealth in the city during the 18th and 19th century's.andrew1860https://www.blogger.com/profile/09302166776668727094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2517604320453054140.post-7394007139864516882012-04-27T10:56:08.471-07:002012-04-27T10:56:08.471-07:00Wow!
