Art Primer

There are 51 famous painting in this section which were provided as a result of a google search to provide the 100 best known pieces of art. Google provide the 100 pieces of art, but - they only provided 51 paintings – thus I only show 51 paintings instead of one-hundred.

This version of the document will use just fifty-one paintings in this section because I found a good web site which allowed me to download images in an easy to use format.
Just like the section on art by period, I will provide a table under the art with the following information in the table. Use the hyperlinks to learn more about the art piece, the artist, the period, or the museum. I will display the art with the table in nine pieces.
