I'm so thrilled you got to see Bernini's incomparable
Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, Sonja. I'm pleased you enjoyed the experience. I'd love to see it myself one day. Until then, the Internet will have to do for me.
"The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa"
Gianlorenzo Bernini
1645-52
Cornaro Chapel, Santa Maria della Vittoria, Rome Sorry you didn't get to see the Caravaggio exhibition. I know what you mean about queues. I
loathe them! I had planned on making the journey down to the National Gallery in Canberra recently, to see a big French Impressionist exhibition. I heard it had attracted big crowds, so waited until near the end of its run, thinking the crowds may have thinned out by then. Alas, not so. People were camping out overnight to avoid the
three and a half hour wait to get in! I knew that standing in queue for that length of time would really stress me out, so I decided against attending. I might have persevered, however, if there'd been some Caravaggios on show!
