  1. I remember this piece catching my attention at the museum. Viewing it from my phone does it no justice. This painting had me convinced, if i reached up and touched it, I would feel the fabric of his cloak. Here his garb is blurred and blacked out. Standing in front of it though, one could see the detail of every fold, the texture of his skin.
