Recently, I received my Masters in Italian Renaissance Art History and have discovered that viewing and experiencing art is one of the most pleasurable activities in my life.  Over the years, I've come across dozens of works of art which simply tickle my imagination in extensive ways. I've included a few of them here, and I hope that you enjoy them!!
