Farewell to Amsterdam
and Schiphol airport
Two more sights in Florence
We wound up the day with a visit to the Duomo in Florence. Then back to the hotel. I include a snap of the Palazzo Vecchio with the phony David in front. Great sights.

Titian and Tintoretto
First a quick snack at the Uffizi roof garden, with the Duomo in the background (thanks, Ellen!). Then on to Titian and Tintoretto. The sepia-toned portrait called “The Sick Man” by Tiziano was arresting if only by contrast with the other brightly-colored canvases from this remarkable painter. “The Sacrifice of Isaac” by Tintoretto was far the best of many paintings of this important scene by various other artists. Tiziano, “The Sick Man” Tintoretto (workshop), “The Sacrifice of Isaac”
More Botticelli
A remarkable set of Seven Virtues by Botticelli. These are among the earliest known works of Botticelli. Prudence, Justice, Hope, Charity, Faith, Temperance, and Fortitude, respectively. Prudence Justice Hope Charity Faith Temperance Fortitude
