Let's get right to the paintings at the Met, beginning with a portrait of Arabella Worsham by Alexandre Cabanel. You can view her 1881 dressing room at The Met, too:

But enough of that. Back to the paintings. A Self-Portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn:

Sure, it's odd, but I loved this Laughing Fool by a Netherlandish Painter:

Allegory of the Catholic Faith by Johannes Vermeer:

I am a sucker for Vermeer. The abundance of detail is right up my alley:

Another Vermeer, titled A Maid Asleep:

Interior of the Oude Kerk, Delft, by Emanual de Witte:

When you zoom in, you see that old Emanual had a sense of humor:

A somewhat dark (in tone) painting that also had me transfixed, Dead Christ Supported by Angels by Francesco Trevisani:

And that barely scratches the surface of what one can enjoy at The Met!
