There is something lovable about these guys. - La Joie de Vivre
This is (apparently) a parody of Matisse's work with the same name. I, however, have troubles seeing the resemblance... - Old Antibes

The Jesuit (University) Church, built in 1620s and redecorated by Andrea Pozzo in 1703. What a brilliant optical illusion. This is the "dome" from the other side. - Double-headed eagle

The two panels indicating the contrast between posthumous fates of a righteous man (above) and of a sinner (below). - Chiesa di San Pietro Extra Moenia

I love the Nomade. The first time I saw him, I found the statue too static for a nomade. But now I can understand him. And I love him. - Le Nomade
So many so different pictures one can take with the Nomade.
