Thank you, Cornflake.
I feel like I'm finally in a quality art history class. Maybe there should be a thread in with the "Art..." section where we can discuss artists and their work?

It's difficult because words often fail with some of these incredible pictures. I've seen the Arnolfini Portrait for real, along with other van Eyck works; you just get rooted to the spot and drawn into them.
They glow with their own light.

This is exceptionally good too, and a favourite:
Supper at Emmaus, by Caravaggio. (also at the National Gallery in London)

I liked the centaur...if he had a bow and arrow, that would be a stunning version of my astrological sign!
