Diana's post about the Vatican reminded me of some of the great art works I have seen and enjoyed in my travels.

A few are:

"The Adoration of the Lamb of God" by Jan and Hubert Van Eyk in St. Bavon Church in Ghent, Belgium.

The painting of Auvers-sur-Oise church by Van Gogh and Manet's Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe in the Musee d'Orsay, Paris. I was one of the first in and had Dejeuner Sur L'Herbe all to myself for a while!

The amazingly eclectic house of Sir John Soane in Holborn, London - the whole thing!

The Etruscan museum at Volterra, Italy, especially the statue "Shadow of the Night".

This one is cheating a little! In Bruges, an amazing special exhibition of Jan van Eyck's works tracing the influence of Eyck and Netherlandish artists in Europe.

Any favourites?
