G'Day All --

As I'm sure you already know, there are several great art galleries on the Web.

Paradoxically, some of the world's best "brick and mortar" galleries are very stingy with their on-line offerings -- apparently believing that their collections are proprietary in nature, and only to be shared with the world-at-large as thumbnail size images. What a shame !!

In any case, one of the best on-line collections of classical art (no cubism abstract, or "modern" works here -- eat your heart out Picasso !!) is the Art Renewal Center, at:

http://www.artrenewal.org

Click on the "Museum" heading, decide whether to begin with an artist's name or nationality, and prepare to spend as much time as you have available exploring the world's great artistic masterworks.

Have fun !! If you can recommend other great on-line art collections (forget the stingy kind !!) please share them with the rest of us.

Best wishes, Dave Matthews
