This montage of female beauty in this clip is amazingly beautiful. The creator of the video put together “500 Years of Female Portraits in Western Art“.
While the artist’s styles vary and perhaps, even evolved over the ages, one thing remains consistent: how they captured the beauty of women is impeccable. And the man behind the video has done a mighty fine job bringing these portraits to life.
If you’d like to know the titles and artists behind each painting, this site has a list. I’d encourage you to watch the video before going through the list, as the magic of the video is in seeing and feeling the evolution, the transition, and the consistency of feminine beauty.
Enjoy!
Thank you to Dexter for leading me to this link.
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

but I’m disappointed that “The Scream” is not included as one of the portraits.

December 7, 2007 at 10:02 am (16 years ago)I fully agree that the transition was so seamless. I wonder if the same could be done with actual photos. That would be so cool, I think.

December 7, 2007 at 6:41 pm (16 years ago)puro sila puti, toni, at ang tatangos ng ilong. napansin ko na iilan lang sa kanila ang ngumingiti na may ngipin, tapos hint of it lang talaga. siguro kung si dali o picasso ang d-drawing sa aken, pede pa akong malagay sa wait list ng videographer na ito. hahaha
