Famous quotes containing the words gallery of, gallery, images and/or florentine:
“I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“I never can pass by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York without thinking of it not as a gallery of living portraits but as a cemetery of tax-deductible wealth.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“The most ordinary word, when put into place, suddenly acquires brilliance. That is the brilliance with which your images must shine.”
—Robert Bresson (b. 1907)
“From old Florentine novels, and also—from life: “Buona femmina e mala femmina vuol bastone.” Sacchetti, Nov. 86.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
