The Brooklyn Museum, as I reported back in 2010, is a terrific and underrated museum of art and artifacts that exists in the shadow of larger and better known museums in Manhattan.
The museum?s collection contains superb examples of American and European painting, some of which you can now view online in glorious detail by way of the Google Art Project.
Among the paintings in the museum is one of my all time favorites, ?Studio Interior? by William Merritt Chase. This wonderful painting of a figure in an interior also contains a beautiful still life, as my detail crops from the Google Art Project enlargement show (images above, top three).
This link will give you the Brooklyn Museum page on GAP in small thumbnail mode (you can choose larger preview images at lower left). You may want to additionally click the ?Filter? button at upper right, click ?Filter by Medium? in the range that appears and mouse over the squares to choose a medium, such as ?Oil Painting?, to narrow down the results.
As I usually do when directing readers to the amazing Google Art Project, I?ll issue my customary Time Sink Warning.
