Philip Scott Johnson's 500 Years of Female Portraits in Western Art elegantly morphs selected portraits to the elegant strains of Bach's Sarabande from Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007 performed by Yo-Yo Ma. Outstanding. The last 30 seconds of the video, the modern period, get especially interesting. It's all done in under 3 minutes.

Boni's Site is mainly for her computer students, but she tracked down and displays all 90 portraits, from 2nd century Russia to Picasso: 500 Years of Women in Western Art.

If you like this, Johnson has done more of them with different themes.
