"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Behold.

Caravaggio, Ecce Homo, 1606


Yesterday I stood beside this painting ... 405 year old brushstrokes.

For the next few months, The Columbus Museum of Art is temporary home for a 400-year-old painting by Italian artist Caravaggio. The exhibit marks the first time a Caravaggio has been publicly displayed in Central Ohio.

Read the rest at wosu.org.

Thanks, Jess, Will, and Frazier. What a day.
