Some favorite sights from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. As I was picking out digitized details of The Feast of the Gods I was wondering to myself whether I had really looked at the painting when I was in the museum and had the chance. Maybe the problem is that such a famous masterpiece must always be viewed through a distracting glare of celebrity.
