Women In Art

500 years of female portraits in Western art. Since so many guys visit here, you ought to enjoy this. Someone made a cool video blending one portrait into the next. I am a portrait artist, and thus recognize that the face, though it can be viewed as something sexual, is actually a thing for artistic scrutiny.

Pretty cool, pretty cool. Quite a feat for by the video creator.

It's worth noting (at least to me) that in almost all of these pictures (the exceptions being a few of the more modern ones), the artist gets the eyes right, and one's eyes are drawn to the eyes of the woman portrayed. Contrast that with the "stoned" look one sees in all too many models today.
