Steven, I am jealous! You are so lucky to have seen a show of his! What I wouldn't give to see one myself! There is something about standing in front of the original in all its incredible beauty that is much more inspiring than simply gazing at photographs of the work. I go to Holland every year and can't seem to NOT go to the museums there, so I can experience Rembrandt (another of my favorites!) first hand! The closer I get, the better! To see his brush strokes is to almost know the man!
Also, thanks for the great links to Bouguereau's sites! I bookmarked them already!
