D.C. Inspiration: More Pattern

February 11th, 2009 · No Comments

While in D.C., I managed to slip into the National Gallery for just one hour. Although they Do have little 1-Hour-Must-See maps, I figured I’d just hit up the West Wing for the time I was there. I grabbed as many photos as I could. A post will be coming later on S&D highlighting my favorite paintings, but for now a tease:
National Gallery Pattern
I was on a pattern kick that weekend and I absolutely LOVED the patterns in many of the medieval altar pieces, etc. I didn’t get title cards for any of the patterns I grabbed, so no artist attributions this time. However, if you get the chance to visit the museum, GO! I was able to be inches away from Da Vinci and Raphael. If I’d have had more time, I would have sketched some of the other patterns in a lot of the paintings. But the photos are more accurate for later reference anyways.
