#FotoVorschlag: Einmal ordentlich #Kitsch bitte // A big load of kitsch please

Für mich als Außenstehende wirkt die #Asamkirche in #München ziemlich #kitschig. Ich habe mich dann mal nicht in die lange Schlange vor der Eingangstür gestellt. // For me as an outsider, the Asam #Church in #Munich seems quite t̶a̶c̶k̶y̶ elaborate. There was a long queue in the street, but I gave it a miss.

Giambattista Tiepolo
An Allegory with Venus and Time
1754-58
Oil on canvas, 292 x 190 cm
National Gallery, London

One of my favourite pictures from London's National Gallery. I confess I often hold this picture in my mind's eye as a form of escapism -- an escape from strip malls, bloated SUVs, megachurches with fundamentalist PowerPoints punctuated by bad rock and extempore prayer, cargo pants,
presidential make up, the Hobby Lobby...

Giambattista Tiepolo
Neptune Offering Gifts to Venice
1740s
Oil on canvas, 135 x 275 cm
Palazzo Ducale, Venice

This image has remained in my mind's eye for years. I was going to write that it was the visual equivalent of an earworm, but that wouldn't be quite right, as that term suggests something annoying of which one would be glad to be rid.
