Catching Great Art At The Capodimonte Museum

Italy always means Renaissance art treasures and the main museum in Naples, Capodimonte, does not disappoint.

First up: a biggie that blows the eyes away, a room full of Titian masterpieces.

Napoleon portrait with fancy sofa. Have a seat. The way to travel back then. The seggioli, or sedan chair.
The museum features some over the top, baroque apartment rooms. Care to dance?

Restoration work happening, delicate. Black marble sculptures, including a nice rendition of Michaelangelo's Moses. Original found in Rome.

It's not all stuffy Old Masters. How about some stuffy New Masters? Andy Warhol's take on the Mt Vesuvius eruption over Pompeii. Angry.
