Curator - Same here, I can't imagine the amount of time it takes you to research/find/collect/sort/edit/present all these wonderful works every day. Thanks again.

Great collection. I love what you do. The Vallotton was especially and somewhat surprisingly appealing to me. Thanks,

The Millet seems so strangely
out of ,"form", considering
how large figures we scaled
in the overall picture plane.

As well as being an almost
straight landscape without
much allegorical content in
terms of religion or myth.
