Tim,

Fortunately his work can be appreciated in any language.

Beth,

The hypothetical question posed by John Sanden at the ASOPA convention in NY a couple of years back was: What painting would you save if the Met was on fire and you could only carry out one?

My #1 choice is William McGregor Paxton's "Tea leaves," no close seconds.

Tied for a distant second place: "Princess Broglie" by Ingres and it's Lehman Collection neighbor, a portrait of a young man by Sir Henry Raeburn, "Herman Doomer" by Rembrandt and "James Stewart" by Van Dyke.
