An Outing in Italian

I met my friends Kristina and Matt at the National Gallery of Art to see the Verrocchio exhibit. The definite jewel was the David. Our language for the afternoon was, of course, la bella lingua!

I am really interested in all of the different statues of David. Most of them are in great contrast with the David of Michelangelo. I fondly remember studying Donatello in great depth when I was studying at the University of Florence. The primary focus of the course was on his David.

In the background on the right you can catch a glimpse of a very grumpy Lorenzo dei Medici!

After visiting the exhibit, we had a bite to eat in the Cascade Cafe.
