Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most

 
Art_5
 
My new header picture (it's been far too long since I've had a new one) comes from http://www.haltadefinizione.com/home.jsp,  a website that has un.be.lievably high resolution photo's of great works of art from the Uffizzi gallery in Florence, Italy.  You mean you couldn't tell that the new header was a zoomed in crop of this little known doodle? Can you find where the crop comes from?! (Nerdiest where's Waldo evar)

Primavera_01
Botticelli's Primavera
 
 
Other selections from the website include:
 
Angelo_Bronzino_038
Angelo Bronzino's Portrait of Eleonora of Toledo (not Ohio)*
 
 
Leonardo_da_Vinci_052
da Vinci's Annunciation
 
 
Bacco
And finally, Caravaggio's Bacchus (Also known as: Portrait of a Blogger)
 
 
 
* I was soooo close to using this one as the new header... you know, because I'm sure you wondered
