My slideshow on Beauty: artwork by different artists. Do you have additions for me to consider?

1. Sargent: "Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose"
2. Matisse: "Woman with a Hat"
3. Millet: "Ophelia"
4. Boldoni "Portrait of a Lady"
5. Mucha "La Dame aux Camelas"
6. Degas: "Grand Arabesque"
7. Rheims Cathedral: Ange au Sourire (artist unknown)
8. Chagall: Papagena, costume for "Magic Flute"
9. Manet: Branch of White Peonies
10. Twombly: Ah! the Peonies
11. Leon Bakst: Cleopatra costume for the Ballets Russe Theatre du Chatelait
12. Pissaro: "Boulevard Montmartre at Night"
13. Waterhouse: "The Soul of the Rose"
14. Vermeer: Young Girl Reading a Letter at the Window"

My background is a piece played by two cellos, but I have considered an instrumental version of "O Mio Babbino Caro" by Puccini.

I can add a few more. This is my second video of my Beauty Project. In the first one I had mostly top of the line artists: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Rodin, Donatello, etc. The music was by John Rutter "For the Beauty of the Earth."

This is a 4 minute slide show meant to show beauty as idealized by different artists in different times, what they and their eras considered beautiful in art. What I learned was how much viewers LOVED Matisse (I used "Window at Colieure&quot so I included "Woman with a Hat" here.
