Oh, there was one more thing I saw in the National Gallery and it made me feel... almost cheated and betrayed.
I'm talking about one of the most famous Slovenian paintings, The Summer by Ivana Kobilca (1890).
Well, it turns out that she did not masterfully catch a moment of summer, but it was a photograph that did it and she painted from the photo...
Don't quite know how to feel about it. It surely still is a masterpiece, I will just look at it differently.
