Saving the best for almost last. My favorite space in the entire Walters Art Museum is the recreation of the family's 1883 Salon. The room is chock-a-block with wonderful paintings in the Salon style from floor to ceiling. If I could wish for one thing, it would be hydraulic lifts to being the visitor to eye level with some of the works that are hung the highest! Here are a few of my favorites.
The identities of the painters and information about the works are found laminated cards, suffice to say I didn't take the time to make any notes in this room, so you just get to enjoy the works, although the first work I believe is titles "Sappho and Alcaeus" and it's by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema.
