These are just a few of the paintings I saw at the National Gallery: Clockwise from top left:
"The Ugly Duchess" by Massys, 1525-30 (one of Laura's favorites); "Madam de Pompadour" by Drouais, 1763-64; "Christ after the Flagellation" by Velazquez, 1628-29; "Charles I" by Van Dyck, 1637-38; "An Experiment On A Bird" by Wright of Derby, 1768; "Salome Receives The Head of John Baptist" by Caravaggio, 1607-10. Thanks to modern technology, you can view the entire collection of the National Gallery on-line.
