Upon Closer Inspection

Ludovico Carracci (1555-1619)
"Something on Copper"


The A.I.C. blog
has finally gotten around
to mentioning
the new Carracci
that I deplored last week,
and
as usual
it discusses
something tangential
to the artwork's importance.


Or perhaps,
the copper support
really is
the only reason
this painting
is of any importance
to the art lovers
of Chicago.
