"Van Gogh and Gauguin's several self-portraits still inspire wonder. My younger self had the luxury of seeing these particular two up close and in person at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC: Van Gogh's gaunt and piercing visage, Gauguin's sneering self-parody."
"Now, thanks to the wonders of digital technology, my older self, and yours, can view and download high-resolution photos of both paintings, and over 60,000 more from the museum's vast holdings, through NGA Images, 'a repository of digital images of the collections of the National Gallery of Art.'"
"You'll find paintings from the heroes of the various Renaissances and French Impressionism, from movements modern and colonial, pastoral and urban. The collection is dizzying, and a lover of art could easily lose hours sorting through it, saving open access digital images up to 3000 pixels each."
