    The first well regarded artist of the Italian Renaissance. I had no idea he was renowned for sculpture.

    Many art historians point to this as the crowning achievement of Bellini's paintings.

    I guess 'Art' is in the eye of the Beholder. Give me a 'wet T-shirt contest' with Hot Babes.

    That's not art that's just some sleazy spring breakers in real-time. Go bug Billy and maybe he could find you some art versions.

    (shaking head) Crock. The Female Form is God's Work. God has created the Highest Form of Art, and Given it to Man. (Why do you Hate God, and have accepted Satan as your Savior?)

    You know, thinking about this for a moment, it's no wonder your are sick all the time.

    Cellini?

    How interesting -- and here *I* had no idea that he was also a painter! I think this is probably his most well-known sculpture.

    I have a print of Toledo framed and hung! It is fairly groundbreaking; is quasi-impressionistic two centuries before French impressionism took flight. That particular painting has immense sentimental value to me for personal reasons

    Wrapping up, I have an appreciation for El Greco, who is arguably the greatest painter of the Spanish baroque
