Overview
|
The extensive collection of paintings on this site can be accessed and
viewed in a number of ways as described below. While this site presently
contains over 600 viewable paintings, as of yet, not all of the pieces
contain accompanying descriptive text and iconographic interpretations.
We consider this site to be a work in progress, and we will continue to update and enhance it.
Three graphical representations of each painting are available on the
painting's individually presented web page as follows:
- A small, quickly loading version (click here for an example)
- A larger
version (click here for an
example)
- A very large, very detailed version in Acrobat (PDF)
format. This file format allows you magnify the image for further detail
viewing. You need the Adobe Acrobat Reader program (which you can download for
free from Adobe) to view these PDF files. To view a PDF file
example, click here
