Vanwall said...: Well done! I love that one! You've caught the look of armor like few others - I was at the Philly Art Museum some years ago, and the armor collection is superb, but somewhat sterile. I contrasted it with the collections I'd seen in Europe, and there was something about the light that was different, this makes me think of the captured flags from the Napoleonic period, and the ranks of horse armor in a few French museums, and how the light catches them in a different way than they are presented here in the States. Congrats, and well deserved!; February 16, 2011 at 9:24 PM
Kristy Gordon said...: Aw, thanks Vanwall! That's cool that you got to check out the armour collection at the Philly Art Museum! I'd like to check that out sometime (I'd also like to go back to the Bardini in Florence;); February 25, 2011 at 10:05 AM
