I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NGAAH_121215_003.JPG: Figure Studies and Compositional Drawings from The Armand Hammer Collection: This exhibition is one of a series featuring selections from the collection of drawings formed by the late Armand Hammer. The collection as a whole consists of more than fifty old master and modern drawings from six centuries. Among the artists represented are such admired draftsmen as Rembrandt van Rijn, Albrecht Durer, and Vincent van Gogh. In 1986, after sharing these works with others in the United States and abroad in numerous exhibitions, Dr. Hammer chose to make the National Gallery their permanent home. Because works of art on paper are damaged by sustained exposure to light, the drawings from the Hammer Collection are displayed in small, temporary exhibitions that focus on different schools and themes. This selection presents sketches and studies by such major artists as Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci.

4. NGAAH_121215_047.JPG: The full-scale preparatory drawing, or "cartoon," on the opposite wall is Raphael's final design for one of his best-known paintings, La Belle Jardiniere in the Louvre. A cartoon represents the end result of a long creative process during which the artist worked out the details of the composition through a series of preliminary sketches. In this case, Raphael continued to make minor changes even after the cartoon was completed: the laurel wreath encircling the head of John the Baptist in the drawing, for example, was eliminated in the painting. To transfer the composition to the wooden panel on which La Belle Jardiniere was painted, the contour lines of the drawing were pricked and dusted with fine powder which passed through the tiny holes to the panel beneath. Because such drawings were necessarily damaged in the process, few Renaissance cartoons survive. This is the only full-scale compositional cartoon from the Renaissance in the United States.

If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
