[BITList] Fwd: BBC - Your Paintings

[M.j. Feltham]

You might like to look at this site, there are over 210,000 paintings shown.

In the early Nineties, when working for a Chinese company, we had  a non working weekend in Amsterdam, I asked the Bangladeshi C/E who was a devout Muslim, if he would like to come ashore with me to see the Rijksmuseum.

He thoroughly enjoyed it as previously he thought Western Art was Nudes and pornography !  He was blown over with the paintings especially the "The Night Watch" by Rembrandt.
