Renaissance Art Slides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
The following is a partial listing of slides available from the museum. I have chosen the more well-known artists and paintings that would be manageable with a high school class. These are also on permanent display at the museum on the second floor, European Painting - Sackler Gallery or in the Robert Lehman Collection (RLC). Room numbers indicated are on the entrances to each room on the right as one passes through the doorway. Hopefully, this will help students avoid the frustration of futilely searching to find a certain work.
