I saw at least one Vermeer in that animation, maybe two.
Nice job. I only wish it lingered just a tad bit more on each face.
I like seeing how women have been portrayed over time and seeing how the idea of beauty changes.
Who created the animation?
That was Ah-mazing, thanks Hop. If you pause just right, some of the in between frames are art as good as the originals.
Was there any Frida. She’s great.
Best use of frame morphing i’ve seen….
perfect for this type of presentation!!!
i now stand and give an ovation to the author of this bit of animation!
Too bad the women of this age who do “serious” “art ” is nothing more than blotches of paint and lumps of porcelain.
Chicks are cool, some of Gods best work, no doubt.
Wow! That was very cool. You could definitely see when photos became popular, the paintings became less realistic and more expression.
Why is it that art from 500 years ago is so much better than today’s, just like music form 500 years ago is better than today’s?
As time passed, things started getting sketchier, to the point that they felt lazier, incomplete or just plain strange without a reason.
#11: Old is not necessarily better or worse than new but old and new are different. They’re products of their times.
I lived with a woman like that once. Fortunately it only lasted six months.
I wish I could put my finger on the music. I used to live in the next apartment over from a violinist who would occasionally play this. That’s the kind of classical violin I love listening to.
Beautiful animation — really well done. Perhaps consider retitling this to “500 years of white Women in European Art,” since so many well-known and exquisite images of non-white females in non-European art were not incorporated.
The music is one of Bach’s unaccompanied cello sonatas.
Is it possible to get a list of the artists whose works are represented in this piece. A list that is chronological so one can match up the artist to the image. I’m good for about 50-60% but would like to know the others. Thanks
Complete list of works – titles and artist – are listed here:

Beautifully done, for a limited sampling of women in art. Missing is the women of color from all over the world. Still, very cool.
