This blog post ran here about eight years ago but it’s a great video that should be seen again. It’s called 500 Years of Female Portraits in Western Art.
It is a montage of famous portrait paintings of women through the centuries morphing from one to the next. The creator of this video, Phillip Scott Johnson, did a great job of choosing and arranging the subjects, earning him an award for his creativity from YouTube. The accompanying Bach piece performed on the cello by Yo-Yo Ma fits beautifully. Makes for a nice Sunday morning viewing.
If you would like to identify any of the paintings used in the video, click on the group of six paintings above and you’ll be taken to a website that identifies each. Enjoy…
