Below are some of my favorite pieces from the Smithsonian Art History Museum:
I think I like how wacky "Ratapoil" is, but was surprised it's so small. By Honore Daumier
I certainly could not escape Edgar Degas' "Little Dancer Aged Fourteen - Wax Statuette", especially when there were two facing each other. So exciting!
"The Thinker" by Auguste Rodin
and of course I couldn't resist all the landscapes:
"The Shipwreck" by Claude Joseph Vernet
"Keelmen Heaving in Coals by Moonlight" by Joseph Mallord and William Turner
"Keelmen Heaving in Coals by Moonlight" by Joseph Mallord and William Turner (detail)
"Autumn-On the Hudson River" by Jasper Francis Cropsey
"Lake Lucerne" by Albert Bierstadt
