Thank you very much. I enjoyed the comparisons of other works of art and the historical backround.

Smarthistory was recommended to the class by our Art professor. I have learned so much by listening to the video's. I can re-wind for clarification, listen again, take notes, etc. I am a novice in the field of art, and although our professor is a great teacher, Smarthistory has been invaluable to my studies in Art. I am so happy it was recommended to the class.
