Last night I finished this short DVD course (12 half hour lectures) by Richard Brettell of The University of Texas at Dallas on the masterpieces of painting in the Louvre. I didn't realize when I got it that it was limited to paintings, but enjoyed it nonetheless. We saw only a fraction of the pieces he focuses on, and it was annoying to hear about others that I really REALLY wish I'd seen while we were there, but it's pretty obvious that one day at the Louvre is never enough - even for just the paintings. The ones we didn't see that after watching this would top my list are the Marie de' Medici cycle by Rubens.
