This is a wonderful service! I was able to visit this exhibition on a recent trip to the Getty, and was stunned by the magnificence of the whole experience. Now, I can explore this wonderful exhibition more fully from my own computer, as I cannot run back to the Getty in person. Thank you!

This presentation is excellent. It uses to great advantage the technology of the Internet. I had no problem viewing the images and the videos. I hope you will leave these presentations up on your Web site to create an archive of exhibitions over time.

Wow! The zooming feature is great. I didn't realize how finely detailed these manuscripts could be, and zooming makes even the tiniest things easy to see. Very cool. Thanks!

The ability to zoom in is fantastic. But what's with the dogs? It seems in almost every single painting there is a dog. Even the painting A Woman at Prayer, if you zoom in very far, there is a tiny dog in the background to the right.
Is there a meaning behind the appearance of so many dogs?

Dogs are prevalent in manuscript illumination of the time for a number of reasons. The dog has long been a symbol of fidelity and loyalty. Dogs were also a part of the daily life of the aristocracy—large numbers of them were kept for hunting purposes.

This is an awesome use of Flash. I am going to use this in the future to show my clients who ask about Flash just what a good use of it is. And from a pure pleasure point of view, to be able to see the artwork up close with the commentary and explanation was great.

It's very cool and interesting. I hope you will continue not only about the Renaissance.
