The Museo de Arte de Ponce boasts the most extensive collection of European and Latin art in the Caribbean and contains the second largest collection of religious art in the world. Puerto Rico's former governor Luis A Ferre donated the museum, which contains noteworthy pre-Raphaelite and baroque works. The museaum contains works by Puerto Rican artists such Francisco Oller; Latin American painters such as Bartolome Murillo; and Europeans such as Peter Paul Rubens, Auguste Rodin, and Thomas Gainsborough. The signature painting of the Museum is Flaming June, by Frederick Leighton,
I'm an “island girl” born and living in the Caribbean. I love to travel, garden, love art and music and of course the beach. I also enjoy cooking, especially with my own grown herbs and farmers market produce. My job in international development takes me to different countries of the world and that’s what I consider the best thing about my career: getting to meet and become friends with so many wonderful people and getting to experience different countries and cultures. My blogs are Tropical Travels http://tropicalscenes.blogspot.com/ and A Caribbean Garden http://caribbeangarden.blogspot.com/
