1000 Works of Art (A Blog by Jon Azose)

Aaron challenged me to find 1000 works of art, each better than that scene in Ferris Bueller where Cameron looks at the Seurat painting. So here they are, one by one, till what's done is done. © Jon Azose 2010-2012

501. Mona Lisa

Post #1 of the second half! I thought I'd lead off with Benj's pick for the world's best work of art.
