Okay, I'll be away for a while so I'll fess up. I think Carl and Marvin's 1865 is about right on. There are a few noteable examples before that time and Vermeer and Rubens' work can't be denied. We don't have to all agree on this. I just recently saw some work by "very famous artists" and the work looked out of whack, the compositions didn't make sense, etc etc. It's okay to reassess some of the age-old greats.

Now sculpture by 1500 was pretty awesome. I think that's interesting. Who can fault the Pieta?
