The following is a selection of some of the works of art that are not in your textbook, but that I have shown, or will show, in class. Remember that for the slide portion of the exams, I will only show you works of art that are in your textbook. However, during lectures, I show many works of art not from your textbook to "round out" your knowledge of a given artist, style, or period.
