...Like most other major art museums, Madrid's Prado maintains an online gallery of its most important works. Now, thanks to a new Google project unveiled on Jan. 13, 14 of those masterpieces, including Velázquez's Las Meninas, El Greco's Nobleman with Hand on His Chest, Durer's Self-Portrait and Fra Angelico's Annunciation, have been reproduced in a resolution so fine - 14,000 megapixels - that not only individual brushstrokes but even the seams in the canvas and cracks in the varnish are visible.

...host to some odd pairings.“It is a puzzle to store things because we are just finding space,” Dackerman says, pulling out a screen to see what surprise awaits her. “Here you have a 1958 Frank Stella piece and a Durer piece from 1515 sitting side by side, because once you get past a certain size, all the pieces are stored together.”The upcoming renovation of the Fogg and the eventual opening of a new museum in Allston will allow for more exhibition space, more storage space, and?...

The villains of his scheme were Titian, Rubens and Rembrandt: "a class of artists, whose whole art is fabricated for the purpose of destroying art." True art was linear, clear, like Raphael, Durer, Michelangelo and antique sculpture--and, Blake didn't hesitate to add, his own. The very thought of Sir Joshua Reynolds, president of the Royal Academy and the most esteemed and successful painter in Britain, gave Blake fits: Reynolds was a slopping, daubing Antichrist.
