Very interesting and mesmerizing.
Its a great example of the degradation of art too.
The last dozen or so were crap.

Around 1910 the art turns to crap and seldom recovers. It became insufficient to do something beautiful and accurate, as that niche had been filled for a few hundred years. To break out one had to evoke not pleasure but irritation and distaste. Sadly this was not confined to just painting.
Sadly most stuff past 1999 seems to consists of images of female’s crotches.
by German painter Denner Balthasar (15 November 1685 - 14 April 1749)
More works by this terrific artist...

Beautiful. Just a rather abrupt, sort of sad changing towards the end. Thanks for posting it.
I found it interesting how many of the portraits were covered with yellowed varnish, i.e. not well cared for, in high end art museums. They are in dire need of good cleaning and restoration after years of neglect.
