It was very cold and rainy today, but we did make our way to St. Marks and after a quick lunch, to the 'Frari'. This is my favorite church in Venice because of two magnificent paintings. First,
Titian's Assumption of the Virgin and second, Bellini's Sacred Conversation. They are magnificent works, as perfect as art gets and I will never tire of looking at them and visiting them.
Breath taking! The sunlight and the clouds, even looking at it online. I would find it hard to return to the States after being surrounded with such an abundance of timeless, enduring beauty. I like how the cherubs below Mary are playing music in Sacred Conversation.

We have a reproduction in our home--not like the real thing, but we get to pass it daily. . .
