Afternoon spent at the State library researching for school assessments. Just next door, a well deserved break for a Chai Latte at QAG Sculpture Garden's with it's relaxing atmosphere.
Followed by a scroll down the new exhibition Masterpieces from the Prado at the Queensland Art Gallery which has secured yet another major international exhibition.
I so can't wait to visit!
Mainly, because through out the Portuguese and Spanish golden age, marriages between Portuguese and Spanish Royalty were frequent to assure control over land. For instance, we have the example of Isabella Clara Eugenia. Her paternal grandparents were Emperor Charles V and Isabella of Portugal. Her maternal grandparents were Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici. Isabella was the second child and eldest daughter of King Manuel I of Portugal and his second spouse, Infanta Maria of Castile and Aragon.
An afternoon made of small jewels of solitary pleasure before heading to Uni.
