.....and finally

...a vast art collection, housed in a Renaissance style palace.  Many of the hundreds of paintings are by minor artists but there are works by Valesquez ( on loan to Paris exhib at the moment), Reynolds, Lawrence and the largest number of Reubens outside Europe.
Would it be completely philistine to say my favourite work of art was Joseph's Coat Sky Space-an inner courtyard with a rectangle open to the sky, the columns each planted with jasmine, so smelling divine?
We were also much taken with some striking works from recycled objects.  No photography allowed in that gallery, unfortunately.
