Bourgeois Art Gallery

The Google Art Project is a beautiful thing.  It lets you explore the collections of some of the world's finest museums, as well as a lot of obscure ones, all in high-definition.  I thought I'd start a new series sharing some of the stuff I've come across.  Here's the first one.  (My only complaint: they don't let you save the images, so I have to link directly to the artworks.)

Wow. I wasn't expecting to be able to get up so close and personal.

A lot of them actually look better closer in.
