Rome: Pleasant Surprise


As everyone typically goes to the Vatican Museum to see the Sistine Chapel or various frescoes - there are some surprises.

One of them was the collection of modern (20th century paintings). Although some remind me of a 1970's church art collection, some of them are actually pretty good. This one in particular is a painting by Van Gogh, who painted a couple of Pietas latter in his life - after the whole ear incident.
