This is one of my favorites. It's at the Chrysler in Norfolk.

Adolphe William Bouguereau (French 1825-1905)
Orestes Pursued by the Furies, 1862
Oil on canvas, 91 x 109-3/8 inches
Gift of Walter P. Chrysler, Jr.
I did not know that there was an art gallery that housed one of my favorite paintings there.
I have no idea why I love his work so much. It seems to be what I want to see though. I just finished watching In the Time of the Butterflies (2001) Streamed on Netflix of course. I loved it. It is a fictionalized story about sisters in the Dominican Republic under Trujillo, but I didn't know that till the end. It rates a solid 5 stars, so obviously I'm not the only one that loved it.
