500 Years of Female Portraits in Western Art

This is rather lovely . . .

eggman913 (a/k/a Phillip, from St. Louis), published this remarkable video on youtube.com:

The music is Bach's Sarabande from Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007 performed by Yo-Yo Ma; and the images range from "Archangel" attributed to the Novgorod School, Russia, 12th Century, to Picasso's "Portrait of Françoise," 1946.

boniyetta, another youtube.com denizen, has identified each of the images at the maystuff.com website.

Thanks to both for this little web treat.
