Art

Art Reverie.

Art captivates me. I do not have a discerning eye as to what makes an art piece noteworthy. I merely enjoy what I enjoy. I am particularly entranced by romantic landscapes and the works from the Baroque period. 

This page serves as a place where I catalogue specifically memorable pieces I have seen and those I very much want to see yet.
