This video isn't new (it's nearly five years old, an eternity on the internet), but it's still quite marvelous, and well worth another visit. Beautiful paintings, amazing computer editing, Bach's Sarabande from Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major performed by Yo-Yo Ma: the perfect way to ease into the weekend. Ahhh....
I've watched this many times, and it never gets old. It is as visiually spectacular as it was when I first saw it. The only thing possible to perfect its near-perfection would be to include some women of color.Thanks for sharing it!
Glad you're all enjoying this! As a one-time art history student, I feel like it's kind of a speed-test, trying to ID each face before it morphs into another (with very mixed results). Still very cool. :)
All those fabulous faces and artworks! So many different styles and looks. So cleverly done. I wish it had been slower - I wanted to linger longer. Thanks so much for sharing.
I have seen this before, but seeing it just now I watched only the eyes and felt that whilst many of these women's paintings were just pictures, in a few cases I thought perhaps a few were still alive in those paintings! Marvelous video and music.
Thank you so much for this. I had never seen it. As a portrait artist, I appreciate the huge amount of time which had to go into the making of the video, and I recognized so many of the works. Fantastic.
One of us -- Loretta Chase -- writes historical romance. One of us -- Susan Holloway Scott -- writes historical novels,and as Isabella Bradford, wrote historical romances, too.
There’s a big difference in how we use history. But we’re equally nuts about it. To us, the everyday details of life in the past are things to talk about, ponder, make fun of -- much in the way normal people talk about their favorite reality show.
We talk about who’s wearing what and who’s sleeping with whom. We try to sort out rumor or myth from fact. We thought there must be at least three other people out there who think history’s fascinating and fun, too. This blog is for them.

Has anyone identified all these lovely ladies? I would love to have the "key."

Such sadness in so many of the faces.
