And let me throw in this bonus to sweeten the pot: the National Gallery of Art now has all its public domain images available online.

Finally, something Ms Casperson and I can agree on
I surf the web for art news. She surfs the web for funny pictures of cats. So we can both enjoy this.
Watch the eyes
Ms Casperson recently pointed out Every Painter Paints Himself, a sort of ongoing online art history course.
The latest article in the series is about the Renaissance belief that the left and right eyes looked, symbolically at least, at very different things. It shows a few paintings that portray people without the left eye. This covered left eye, it turns out, has special meaning.
I haven't had time yet to really go into the backlog of articles in EPPH, but it looks promising. If you come across any particularly good articles or blog posts, please let me know.
