I don’t know about you, but I don’t like visiting enormous art museums, in a compulsory way all at once.
When I have the possibility I prefer to go rather often and to dedicate my time to only a few paintings at a time.
Today I paid a visit to one of my favourite pictures.
You see I’m partial, because it shows a double portrait, and one of the characters is my ancestor Violet Boleyn, but besides my personal involvement, I do objectively consider it a real masterpiece!

Violet Boleyn was a very clever and charming young lady and a very, very important character of that time fell madly in love with her.
He was ready to do everything to gain her love, but Violet Boleyn was very wise and realized that the gentleman was not very reliable and a bit too quick-tempered.
So she refused all his proposals, but one. She agreed to pose with him for this portrait, to leave something of her to remember her by.
Then she refused to meet him again.
History tells us that later he fell in love again, and again, and again and among his beloved ones was also a distant relative of Violet Boleyn, who unluckily was not as wise as my ancestor and the poor girl had a very tragic destiny....
But this is, obviously, is another story....

Now I’ll have a break at the art gallery cafeteria...
You can meet me there!
