Today's #MuseumTourTuesday features a painting at The Art Institute of Chicago by French artist Gaston La Touche.
It's a dreamlike painting, depicting a penitential pilgrimage, where
the light comes from both natural twilight and candlelight. What I
especially love about the painting is the way in which the figures
combine into one form, except of the woman on the horse. It almost
appears as if she is riding through a field of flowers. - Patrick Saunders
