505			_a"From the opening lecture, Professor Kloss demonstrates that his aim is "to make you feel welcome and comfortable in the company of paintings." With this focus, he guides you in a direct and engaging encounter with the images themselves, challenging you to consider how and why these paintings affect us, and inviting you to join him in looking deeply into the painter's multidimensional visual realm. Focusing on 65 masterpieces of Western painting, including key works by Giotto, Titian, Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Picasso, The World's Greatest Paintings offers you a vivid, visceral encounter with genius, shining light on the unique technical, stylistic, and expressive achievements of each painting. As a foundation for the inquiry, you consider ways of defining greatness in painting: Uniqueness: The qualities that set a painting apart from all others in a way that influences or changes the course of art Impact: A painting's effect on viewers, both initial and cumulative Emotional and intellectual resonance: The deepening, comprehensive experience of a painting, justifying its initial impression Throughout the series, you witness the depth of painting's interface with Western social institutions, culture, and thought."
