Through August 12, our own James
A. Michener Museum in Doylestown is exhibiting a selection of masterpieces
called Offering of the Angels: Treasures from
the Uffizi Gallery. It features almost
50 examples of art created between the 15th and 17th centuries,
including this:
The Miracle of the Manna was painted by
Fabrizio Boschi in the late 1590s. I’m
sort of in love with those elaborate gold and silver urns the people are
holding—they remind me of these:
The Orchid is made of cream suede embossed with a gold embossed paisley
print, and has a beautiful gold bow with silver rhinestones at the round toe. They are so vintage glam I can barely stand
it. Find them at Irregular
Choice on sale for $127—also available in red, blue, or black suede, too!
This is Francesco Mazzola’s Madonna with Child, which he finished in
1525. I love all the delicate head
coverings and halos in Renaissance work—and look at the dove (er, Holy Spirit) nestled
in the book!
The Coraline by Butter is lovely satin peep-toe slingback with a cheery
feather explosion at the toe! It has a
four-inch heel and half-inch platform, and can be found at Endless
for $286.
It’s not every day art’s treasures
are so close to home, so make the trip if you can!
Offering of the Angels
is on display for one more week! Head up to the Michener Museum (drive or take
the SEPTA Lansdown/Doylestown line til the end) and have your fill of amazing
Italian art for only $15. Don’t miss it!
