The Deluge<\/a> (1834) by John Martin.<\/em><\/p>\n

One of John Martin’s Biblical cataclysms succumbs to a Turner-like nebulosity at the Yale Center for British Art, something that can now be viewed in detail thanks to Google’s expansion of its Art Project<\/a>. 151 additional galleries have been added, and the collections of those already present expanded, which means there are now 30,000 paintings and other art objects waiting to be examined. The examples here are those picked from a very cursory look at what’s on offer. Good to see the Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay<\/a> is now one of the featured galleries where I ignored all the Van Goghs, Monets and the rest in order to select one of Gustave Moreau’s Salom\u00e9s. Blake’s Ghost of a Flea<\/em> is actually a lot more visible in its online state than in the original. Many of the works in the Blake collection at Tate Britain<\/a> are so fragile the lights are kept low to avoid damaging their pigments. Most of Blake’s paintings are also very small, Ghost of a Flea<\/em> included. Even peering at it up close doesn’t yield as much as the opportunity we now have to explore its frosted craquelure.<\/p>\n
