Very cool! I wish, for the sake of the art-dumb like myself, someone would make a copy with captions (artists and years). ---

That was freaking Gorgeous! The music (Yo Yo Ma playing Bach’s Cello variations was perfect, too!) FML ---

I loved it! If anyone finds it on YouTube, don’t bother reading the viewer comments - it’s mostly misogynistic complaints. ---

Great link. Thank you for sharing. I’ve had this one open a few days and play it often. It’s Regina Spektor’s song Fidelity. It is beautiful. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGTDRztaCCw) ---

It’s quite amazing how similar so many of those faces are, how much of a “type” there appears to be in the Western artistic tradition. I’m betting this was an art history project, or something similar. ---

Very cool montage, but I think I’m somewhat revealing my geek nature when I was more interested in exactly how they were doing the morphing than with the actual series of paintings. 😃 ---

Oh, fun quiz. I looked through the first part (my ballywick) and my impressions: Something Byzantine or Italian 13th c or so Leo Mad of Rocks- :01 Fra Filippo Lippi? Leo Mona :05 Raph? Bott-- 08 Lavinia Fontana? Leo? Something Venetian? Titian or Palma or some other Venetian (can’t put my finger on it) Titian? ? Leo again-- Ginevra da Benci: 22 Leo, Ermine Bellini :26 Titian? Dürer :30 Cranach :31 Memling :33 ? Italian Holbein? :37 Pretty Leonardo-heavy, but then there’s a huge jump in chronological sequence at :39-- French 17th c? into Goya and such, but then it whips back into 16th c with El Greco and then back to Ingres. Then a lot of bland stuff (few ‘iconic’ images) until it gets interesting again around 1:40, IMO. Not strictly chronological in any case. If there’s anything in particular you want help with give a number. ---

It would have been a lot cooler if it included boobies. Just sayin’. ---

Very nice, but I couldn’t help thinking of Roseanne. ---

[QUOTE=panache45] Very nice, but I couldn’t help thinking of Roseanne. [/QUOTE] I’ve got you one worse. I couldn’t help thinking of _my mom_. EDIT: errr… this may not look good w/ my other comment about the boobies, but um, I meant with the faces… I had the thought about boobies before I realized it was reminding me of my mom. Actually, that was my first thought before even opening the link. I was just hoping to see boobies, and instead I saw my mom. So it was kind of an unpleasant experience for me. ---

On further consideration… although it wouldn’t be a portrait like the others, I would’ve liked to have seen the Statue of Liberty in there. ---

The others aren’t all portraits- a couple of Madonnas and saints in there at least (and at least one of what looked to me was a 16th-c Italian young man).
