Milan|This Museum Awakened My Senses 🎨
The red mosaic walls, sculpted spiral staircases… absolutely stunning – I was completely mesmerized. ❤️ Da Vinci's Original: Portrait of a Musician 🎶 Caravaggio's Original: Basket of Fruit 🥭 - Said to be the first still life painting in the world. Every detail is vivid, from the wormhole in the apple to the water droplets on the leaves. This is also considered Caravaggio’s most serene piece. Standing in front of it, witnessing the fruit on the edge of decay, makes one wonder – what emotions begin to surface in its stillness, especially from someone who lived such a turbulent life? Raphael's School of Athens Sketch: In a dimly lit room, I quietly admired every stroke of Raphael’s work. You can feel the difference in life paths between him and Caravaggio. ✍️ While this museum may seem niche, it’s actually quite popular. Totally worth the visit! After the art gallery, there's also a crypt to explore downstairs. 💀 You can buy a combined ticket for the gallery and crypt online for €21. The museum annual pass grants free entry. #DaVinci #Milan #Caravaggio #Museum #MustVisitMuseum #Sculpture #Mosaic #Raphael #Italy
