A little tacky? Perhaps. A little pricey? True. But, as a total art history nerd, do I still sort of want one? Yup.  (Get one from Modern Dose; via CasaSugar.)

Continuing with our theme of art infiltrating everyday culture, spotted on Fifth Avenue in New York City earlier this week was this display.  Henri Bendell’s jewelry window features Renaissance beauties decked out in necklaces and earrings… but not painted ones.  Rather, the jewelry poked into the “canvases” of the Lady with an Erimine and Maddalena Doni are, naturally, for sale in the high-end department store.  Clever or tacky?  I wonder if Leonardo and Raphael would approve…
