POTD: Leonardo's "Madonna Litta"

From 2018 08 12 Winter Palace & Hermitage

Today's photo-of-the-day is from one of the world's great museums, the Hermitage in St Petersburg, Russia, founded by Catherine the Great. On most days, like this one, the Hermitage hosts huge crowds of tourists, all come to see art treasures like Leonardo da Vinci's "Madonna Litta". In this case, I found the tourists more photogenic than the artwork.

A bonus photo after the jump.
