Pink and Orange

[captmarga]

I know there are old threads on this subject, just far back enough that I can't locate them.

Anyway, to make a long story short(er), my daughter and I went to the Kimball this morning to see the Carravaggio and his Followers in Rome exhibit.

I saw this piece in person:

The pinks are almost-lilac pink and the orange is vibrant.   Of the several online images available, this seems the closest in color match.   The wiki-site image is nowhere close.

This is late 1590-1610s, so still quite Renaissance.

The paintings of these masters are incredible, one can see every bit of the ostrich feathers, the folds of the velvet, the sheen.

Thru Jan 8th in Ft Worth if anyone can make it!

Marga, those threads are in the sewing forum!

And that painting is spectacular! Thanks for posting it.

What isn't stated anywhere is that this thing is slightly larger than life-size as well.  HUGE... Awesome.

I loved that exhibit.
Did you see the Judith with the head of Holofernes in the nehi grape sleeves?
