Met inspiration 2

The gloomy weather in New York has persisted despite some sunny bursts of hope during the weekend. That has given me an opportunity to spend more time at the Met Museum. Yesterday, I was blown away by yet another artist: Louis Comfort Tiffany. I've always been drawn to the colourful Tiffany lamps that are quintessentially New York. But nothing prepared me for the sheer genius of the works in stained glass, mosaics and enamel currently residing in the American Wing. What do you think?
