This is not an exhaustive listing or even a comprehensive one but, like everything else in www.Atelier-RC.com, it is organic, a work in progress, due to grow and fill out in time. It does bring together some of the Western World's outstanding art collections, mostly places dear to me, where I've spent countless hours and many days: the Rijksmuseum, the Prado, the Metropolitan. Others I've never visited I know house favorites like Sánchez Cotán's "Quince, Cabbage, Melon and Cucumber" or Caravaggio's "Love Victorious".

There are omissions. I have chosen to leave out the likes of the Tate Modern and most of the Guggenheims believing these subvert the purpose of the museum by not serving the art displayed; where monster buildings, much like video antics that gloss over lack of musical talent, subvert the art they purport to serve.

The Whitney and the New Museum in New York, where hype and angst and gender and sexual orientation and geopolitics and every form of malaise imaginable have suplanted quality of craft as a rule of judgement, have simply forgotten aesthetics in art. And, of course, I choose to serve Figuration first. My prejudices abound. Still I hope you will find this feature useful if limited.
Bon voyage! ~ RC.
