    The Night Watch itself is undergoing a two year plus restoration. Hopefully we’ll see it when completed. I was fortunate enough to see the Sistine Chapel a year or two after it was restored.

    You can still see it now. They're restoring it in a giant glass room. Everyone can watch the restoration.

    The Sistine Chapel is amazing, but hard to stare at all day. With the Rembrandt, you can just stand there and soak it in for as long as you want.

    I have a print of Kandinsky's Composition Vll on my wall. Some folks seem to have a bad reaction to it, but I see both light and shade.

    The story of Isabella and the Pot of Basil inspired a number of painters. My favourite is the Holman Hunt - which I saw (again) yesterday.
