A radiant addition to the Met's Renaissance galleries, this beguiling Madonna and Child by Cosimo Rosselli is a familiar old friend. We stopped by to say hello on our November New York trip. If you recall, Rosselli is the Florentine artist Arthur brought to life with his international exhibition, "Cosimo Rosselli: Painter of the Sistine Chapel" in 2001 at the Cornell Museum in Florida. A second show is in the works in Florence, details TBA. Speaking of NY, our great thanks to art-lovers and great friends June Hunt-Mayer and George Elkins for the most memorable New York trips so far! Renewal vows in Central Park, champagne reception at June's apartment, a splendid co-birthday party for Kären and Clifford days later. What hospitality! We love both of you!
