I always try to save time for our travelers to look for themselves in the museum. I enjoy the time to find new things or discover something I have never really seen after 35 years of visits to the museum. A piece that I enjoyed this year, is this little painting by Sassetta painted in 1435. It is called "The Journey of the Magi". Sassetta is a Sienese artist that you have to spend a little time with to enjoy his charm. This work feels like a children's book illustration. I love the naive quality of the little procession. He really pulls you in with the details in the birds and the soft light.
