Reply #74: It was the faces of the angels. There's something very distinctive about them.

I knew that I had seen similar faces before. We have a book about famous artists. It's very descriptive about the artists lives, who they studied with, etc., accompanied by one work of art. I had read that book cover to cover.

In this instance, the one work was "Madonna and Child", so #6 really looked like Lippi to me. You were kind enough to give the hint about the nun, so that pretty much nailed it down.

The only picture that was instantly recognizable for me was #3, the Botticelli. There's something about his work that sets it apart from everyone else's. Like one of the posters said, he does floating and levitation so well.

It would be a wonderful thing if everyone in this country could go to the National Gallery of Art. When my husband and I walked in there it was a feeling of, "So this is what heaven looks like." A favorite section there was the Rembrandt's, followed by the Impressionists. Oh my.

So, I'm not an art expert at all, but certain works of art really stay in my soul.

How about you? Are you well educated on art? What really appeals to you?

Thank you again. It was great fun! :)
