While on vacation I went to the New York Met Art Gallery and they had an exhibit with Girodet, I saw the real works of art of these two paintings

It was unreal, the coronation one he was huge! I was so moved I looked at it for 10 minutes, I almost cried, it was an amazing thing to say the least.

What! A Prussian being impressed by the French usurper!!

Flog the man!!!

Hey, sounds like you had a grand time. The NY Met is one of the best in the US.

Try Brown University when you get a chance. I should have stopped in there to see their collection of Napoleonic art and manuscripts but Paco kept me for a long lunch while in Wusta (Worcester)! [:D]

Bill,

Since my baby girl will be attending Brown (Starting this Wednesday, 8/30/06), I'm looking forward to perusing their collections on a regular basis when I come down to visit her [:D].

Regards,

Paco

Baby girl ... is that the 1 or 2 year old? (of course I know which one you mean but just wanted to have some fun ...)

While there let me know what you find out. It was one of the stops on my trip I had to pass up. Just another reason to come back, have lunch with you and Jeff and ...
