- a very compelling complement to a physical exhibition .. i found it surprisingly easy to study all the painting details. In particular, the "Holy Family" comparison captured my attention for a long time.
- Fascinating comparison of two great artists that takes wonderful advantage of one aspect of the web interface: the visual image. So side-by-side comparisons are available -- in fact that is the organizing principle
- having this online gives the viewer a control missing from the actual visit to the exhibition. While still mediated by the curators/developers, the virtual visitor gets more rather than less from the online experience
- visually and intellectually engaging!
- Made me look and think
- so that's what art historians do -- WoW! Beautifully executed and lively approach to "learning to look" at art.
