The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art at Sarasota Bay, near Bradenton and a few miles from Tampa,Florida
If the name seems to ring a bell think Circus.
Visited the Art Museum in this fabulous complex of grounds and buildings. Amazing groups of paintings from 1300's to modern day;huge cartoons by Reubens for tapestries, work by Goya, Archimbaldo, Titian, Gainsborough, van Dyke, I cannot remember all the work I saw, so much to take in in a few hours. A feast for the eyes. A big surprise were early representational paintings by Marcel Duchamp, densely layered paint.
I had visited this gallery twice before, but it is still a joy to enter it again. Will return.
