Retiro

I went jogging in the Buen Retiro park this evening. It reminds me of the Parc de la Tête d'Or, where I used to run many years ago. The difference is that back then I would overtake pretty much everybody. Nowadays, it's the other way round.

Fra Angelico's Annunciation (see in high resolution)

Samuel Menashe's Annunciation is the best comment I can think of. I do not know which version of the Annunciation he was actually referring to: possibly Giovanni di Paolo's, in the National Gallery. He had already written a poem about Paolo's work, but I think his observation corresponds better to Fra Angelico's painting.
