Renewal Center - Don't miss this one! A wonderful site to study
classical art! Sponsored by art collector Fred Ross who was previously
on the ASOPA Advisory Board and was featured at the 2001 ASOPA Portrait
Arts Festival.
Carol
Jackson Presents - Probably the largest collection of art throughout
history on the web. You'll wish she showed a single thumbnail next
to the artist's name in the index so you had an idea what type of
work they did. But, she's done a massive undertaking and is highly
commended.

just what's in the magazine.
ArtNet.com-
A top art site with deep content.
New
York Geneological and Biographical Society Portrait Collection
- Some good portraits of Presidents and others.
Some portrait scans on the pages below are very inferior, but these
links are still educational. One of the worst is the portrait of
Frances Cleveland by Anders Zorn mentioned below in Portraits at
FirstLadies.org. A gorgeous portrait, but I'm afraid they've butchered
it. Some portrait's shown don't even give the artists name!
Also, just because you've visited one site about presidential portraits,
don't limit yourself by not checking the other links listed. Often
there is more than one official portrait painted for a former president.
Portraits
