foxy Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Impressive new show at the Met bringing together two friends and sometimes rivals.

I was just about to post and give you a hard time in the Orsay thread about all the incredible pieces you missed because they were on loan to The Met for this show. The show is amazing.
