I'm not really feeling up to writing a lot today, but I did want to share some of the pictures that I've taken at the National Gallery of Art that finish up the Renaissance paintings on the second floor. I guess there are more on the first floor, according to the map, but I haven't seen them yet.

| Marchesa Elena Grimaldi Cattaneo, Sir Anthony Van Dyck, 1623 |
These paintings (starting with Sir Anthony Van Dyck's
Marchesa Elena Grimaldi Cattaneo) are from the Flemish and Dutch Renaissance.
