		<description><![CDATA[Art, for me, has always been two things. At its worst it is purely decorative (which, all things considered, isn&#8217;t so bad). At its best though I believe art is as close as a person can get to touching the divine. I don’t think we can understand god in any meaningful sense. Our brains simply [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s called the Google Art Project and definitely worth a look. However, they don&#8217;t have images of every work in the collections, and unfortunately they missed the Levitans in the Tretyakov.]]></description>
