Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful winter break. While I was on break I went to St. Louis for a wedding and while I was there I went to the St. Louis Art Museum. I especially enjoyed the modern art collection but naturally I had to find an ancient art gallery and they do have one. Unfortunately their collection is relatively small but nevertheless the pieces were stunning. Here are a couple of my favorites...
This is an early Byzantine tapestry depicting a shepherd milking a goat. It is said to be from Egypt.
Here is a statue of Artemis running, dating between the late 2nd century AD and 1st century BC.
If you ever find yourself in St. Louis looking for something to do, head over to the museum. The ancient art collection is small but great and if you're interested in other kinds of collections they have excellent collections of modern, ancient American and Native American art. Have a good week!
