Thanks to Mary M. Lane, a writer at the Art & Object fine art news website, more people outside of Baltimore may learn what we already know about our own Walters Art Museum... It’s a treasure-trove of internationally significant art and artifacts:
“... this author has been to a number of museums in the world—London, Berlin, Munich, Paris, Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Amsterdam, and many other cities—and never has she found a gem as hidden as the Walters Art Museum. Tucked away in a corner of Baltimore, the Walters is the kind of museum this author would love to take her mother and father to visit.”
Among the treasures highlighted are the 16th century David and Bathsheba painting by Paris Bordone and the portrait of Balthasar (c. 1700), the black king of the Three Wise Men who visited Jesus soon after his birth.
