I got this link in an email and I was absolutely mesmerized…it’s a culmination of 500 years of women’s portraits. Very cool. I can name a few.
Before I go off and name who I can…I’d like others to have a crack at it.
Isn’t it really cool? Maybe I’m just an Art Dork…but I this is really neat!
Wow - that is really gorgeous!
VCNJ~
Any idea what software made this?
It could be this.
Absolutely fascinating.
I don’t know which to be more impressed by, the patience it took to do the this, or the knowledge of art required to match to the painting styles and periods.
Very cool!
Mesmerizing. I could identify the Virgin Mary and Marie Antoinette, and that’s all.
Thanks for sharing this. It’s gorgeous. Now hurry up with the list! 
I also got two. Top that!
Let’s see:
Marie Antoinette
Of course - Mona Lisa
The Sabine Women - Roman
Andy Wyeth
Olympia - Manet
Domenico Ghirlandaio
Bella Nani - Veronese [several Veronese’s]
Rogier van der Weydan
Many of them are simply enigmatic representations of an artist’s conception of what a woman is. Basically, unnamed faces on canvas. I’ll go through it again tomorrow…I can watch it over and over!
Ok, fine…I’ll go to be later…if I pause it a few times I get:
Hans Memling
Alessandro di Cristofano di Lorenzo del Bronzino Allori or Mannerist painter.
Botticelli’s Venus
Da Vinci’s Genevra de Benci
Ada Byron (Cs. Lovelace)
There was a thread about this about a week ago… it’s totally mesmerizing!
No Frida Kahlo? I’m a little surprised there! Or did I miss her?
It’s beautiful, and it’s also like a little tour of art history. Very cool.
Yup. I started it. Here you go: Women in art - an amazing montage - Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share - Straight Dope Message Board
I only watched about the first 20 or so, got the Mona Lisa and I think Aphrodite. I’ll have to take some time and watch the whole thing soon.
Freakin’ dial-up connection. 
That was very cool. I could name a number of them, particularly in the first ten or so, and definitely recognized some of the others. A very nifty concept.
Reminded me a bit of art history in college.
If you look very close it appears the morphing has several variables that make it the same…I think it’s shoulder height, nose, and brow line…plus there is a commonality in that they are always looking down and to the left, or to the right, or straight out. Very cool.
Yeah. The pictures in sequence are close enough to make it work really effectively. It helps, I’m sure, that stylistically women were often painted similarly for many years.
